What about a p2p network that would have a client that you could use to lock an integer number of your choice that nobody in the network could know till some proof-of-work was done. The final number would be the sum of all such peer locked numbers. That number would be determined before the proof-of-work but nobody could know it, which would make that number interesting for gambling games, for instance. It could represent the number of shifts in a spinning wheel, for instance.
Or the number of times a list of participants needed to be shifted or shuffled to get the list of winners for that contest.
What do you think?

{ Imagine a sequence of bits generated from the first decimal place of the square roots of whole integers that are irrational numbers. If the decimal falls between 0 and 5, it's considered bit 0, and if it falls between 5 and 10, it's considered bit 1. This sequence from a simple integer count of contiguous irrationals and their logical decimal expansion of the first decimal place is called the 'main irrational stream.' Our goal is to design a physical and optical computing system system that can detect when this stream starts matching a specific pattern of a given size of bits. bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=166760.0 } Satoshi did use a friend class in C++ and put a comment on the code saying: "This is why people hate C++".

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

I don't see how this could work. You cannot conceal and process information at the same time.
