+1 Dooglus for sure.
Hi,
The question is: if I had a large gambling website or system or something, who can I trust here? Let's get to a specific example, let's pretend that I have the biggest raffle or lottery here, with jackpots and prizes amounting to hundreds or even thousands of bitcoins.

Incidentally, I just noticed the "Trust" thing, it's near our forum names on the left side, above the "Ignore". That's new huh.
Hey, wow, just today I was thinking this forum should have a built in trust indicator like OTC...
I'd like to think I would have noticed it eventually, but thanks for pointing it out
give tradefortress a trust 
PGP / GPG is of course mandatory for these types of things. Ok, I'm going to be redoing the "rules" for my next game over the next couple of days, then launch a "round 2". I'll PM you guys for emails/public keys.

Or you can make a M of N wallet. I believe armory is adding easy support for that soon.
Make sure to PGP crypt the info.
I was just wondering "how can we trust the deadman's switch site not to steal the money before we die".
And that's the answer. Encrypt it to the recipient's public key before uploading it.
Make sure to PGP crypt the info.
You can check this site https://www.securesafe.com they have a function in case you pass away to send passwords or documents to a trustee

That's actually a really cool service. Thanks for pointing this out. Read into it a bit and it's very well done.

Doog is more or less the face of the gambling section, just chuck him it. I have a feeling he might not want that burden as he's probably got other stuff.
+1 to dooglus.
Thanks guys. I'm happy to get the dead-mans-switch email and handle the final payout for you. You email address is my forum name at gmail (or click the GPG link in my sig).
The only history I have of handling large amounts of other people's coin is the World Bitcoin Exchange debacle. See https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/announcement-wbx-exchange-frozen-65867 if you have a few hours to kill. Basically an Australian exchange went down in suspicious circumstances and I found myself in possession of all the exchange's clients' Bitcoin balances (totalling 1768 BTC). I've been doing my best to fairly refund the users ever since which is tricky when I have no contact details for most of them...
Other than that, I specialise in moaning about bugs and issues re. provable fairness in Bitcoin gambling sites.
Hi Zaih,
Thanks for the comment. No prize is too small that will frustrate a possible winner. Or at least people know what happened. I don't want to be infamous for running off with the prize. Besides, the switch is easy to set up.
When I start a new game, I include all the needed info in the "death" email... Just in case I don't log in for a month, then the winner still gets his prize. Even if it's just 1 BTC.

With all due respect, I believe you should get a decent user base for your lottery/gambling system before organizing stuff like this ^_^ Most of these end up phasing out over time due to lack of interest. Maybe work on finding a way to innovate the current systems in place for this type of gambling.
Why not send the prize to the winner? The winner would be pissed if that did not happen.
Because I'm supposed to be dead, that's why. I don't know the winner until I've gotten all the tickets and the game is over. So, just in case I'm dead, I'm entrusting the giving the prize to the winner to the two of you.
At least that's what the plan is. Plan B.
If I'm alive, of course, I will send the prize to the winner.
*edit* oh yeah, I only said the part about refunding, if, the winner is not determined at all (like, I forgot to send you the secret to determine the winner, and I'm dead.)
Note to self: include needed information in my dead man's switch.
If dooglus does not object, the list so far is as follows:
1. dooglus
2. TradeFortress
3. keatonatron = obituary on bitcointalk.org forum. (hehe)
What I don't know is if there should be a hierarchy or if I can send to both at once. Then you decide among the two of you who does whatever. The result is either, the winner gets his prize, or everyone gets refunded (which is going to be difficult if there are a lot of small outputs, ie, ticket price is 0.01)
Remember, nothing happens if I'm alive and can do what I'm supposed to do.

In first period you spend some bitcoin but i think every good work will pay off
I would be happy to be a witness to your death and let people know you aren't scamming--you're just dead
I don't have enough public bitcoin history to prove trustworthiness, but I will volunteer to receive a notification and help ensure your final wishes get carried out by communicating with everyone here.

If he's unwilling to take up on it, I would be happy to do it.
