My apologies Lauri!

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 stop. I imagine re-purposing bitcoin-qt t= o do this.

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

Each person plays a best of 5 tournament each r= ound. The players are randomly matched against each other. The number of ro= unds would effectively be the depth of a binary tree...

So if = a million people play in this tournament, you would need to win 20 rounds t= o win the tournament and the cash prize.

Now, I will supply th= is cash prize and I have media connections to get coverage for this. I full= y believe I could get millions playing in this.

Thanks,
Neil
