fyi... this project works great for American Football due to specific US federal laws regarding fantasy football... however..
is there a notion of projecting how many goals / assists / blocks an individual Futball player scores? are there any "fantasy" Futball leagues? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_sport
if yes, then its the same, and it can be done.
Is a Premier League (football) one possible? This seems really quite different so not sure how it actually works but would be really interested in setting something up.

A possible use would be free bets at a gambling site which would provide financing for it (just a thought)
go get the financing!

This is a shame, I thought it was Football as in Premier League "soccer" which would be realllllly cool.
go ahead, define the protocol.

How many people are in the Fantasybits community... I admit I'm intrigued.
only a handful, its a work in progress.
to join just tweet : "#fantasyfootball @satoshifantasy" , and your twitter id with be your fantasyname.
I am trying to get something ready for kickoff Sept 3. Currently there are a couple of issues.
1) fantasy players in general are not ready to manage their own id/key with wallet software.
solution is a central web-site.
2) there is no cost to joining, so to prevent bot/sybil attack, a "tweet of proof" is required.
currently working on a wallet and also looking for help for central website. may offer a bountry for website.

will have more info shortly.

1) Satoshi Fantasy / Fantasybit
Satoshi Fantasy is a block-chain based fantasy football prediction market. Fantasybit is the coin within the Satoshi Fantasy blockchain.
Fantasybit uses a new and unique "Proof-of-Skill" block-chain. US law explicitly defines fantasy sports as skill, and is not considered gambling. It is 100% is legal.
Fantasybits are a monetization of a fantasy football players skill in predicting future outcomes. The Satoshi Fantasy whitepaper describes the use of Distributed Engineered Autonomous (DEA) Agents.
This is an experimental decentralized distributed autonomous protocol, and is designed to grow organically. http://satoshifantasy.com/media/satoshifantasy.pdf

Breakoutcoin (BRO) is a new alt-coin currently in development, it is a funded project. Keep an eye out for announcement thread for BRO. sign up for info at http://breakoutgaming.com/
Bergstake is a new proof-of-stake algorithm, it is a generalization of "Proof-of-Skill". (This is the only overlap between between Breakoutcoin and Fantsybits. ). Bergstake is also a block-chain based asset with value. Holders of bergstake have rights to sign future blocks. Its similar to a stock option.
"Breakoutcoin with Bergstake" means that breakoutcoin is a hybrid POW/POS coin, with bergstake used instead of coins (or coin-age) for the POS phase. see http://satoshifantasy.com/breakoutcoin-with-bergstake/

Slightly confused about the bergstake/breakoutcoin thing, is that an alt-coin that you're trying to bring in wrapped around this game or something else? Also, is your project the engine around the coin mining process, the game, or both?
its a game where you chose players in the professional American football league. its legal because its a game of skill (by law). its pretty popular here in the US. its the new poker
fantasybits are obtained by making weekly fantasy football projections instead of mining.
So how do we obtain the coins? Not sure I understand..
The White Paper can not seem to browse
This is truly crazy, I mean literally insane. I can't tell if this is a troll or not.

Almost like reading the Bitcoin white paper for the first time: I have more questions then answers.

I'll be keeping a close eye on this. And great work. It is good to see original innovation occurring in the Bitcoin space. So often we see rehashes (sha256?) of the same old ideas. This looks completely new and very inventive.
