My apologies Lauri!

<= /div>Here is the idea:

I want to build a massive rock paper scissors= tournament, the largest the world has ever seen and one that no one can st= op. I imagine re-purposing bitcoin-qt to do this.

Imagine a to= urnament like the World Series of Poker, but for RPS.

Each per= son plays a best of 5 tournament each round. The players are randomly match= ed against each other. The number of rounds would effectively be the depth = of a binary tree...

So if a million people play in this tourna= ment, you would need to win 20 rounds to win the tournament and the cash pr= ize.

Now, I will supply this cash prize and I have media conne= ctions to get coverage for this. I fully believe I could get millions playi= ng in this.

Thanks,
