Take a look at what I am designing here. It just a design. I will leave it up to you to code:

If only we could drop the Bob and Alice thing, which has been overused for the last 30 years. How about Jack and Jane?

I'd suggest Jack and Jill but having your protagonists fall down a hill makes for a bad example. In crypto I guess it would be the equivalent of sending the key exchange to /dev/null (another overused example trope)

the recipient can pay some pool to include the transaction in their next block.

How is this done?

The plot thickens, who is this Eve?

Can we validate her identity to somehow establish if she is in the trust circle Bob and Alice have?

I'm not sure about this Bob character, anyone ever have any dealings with him?

Can we trust him?

Eve said Bob isn't available right now.  You can just give any private information to her and she'll be sure Alice gets it!

If I would give someone the IP and/or inputs could someone speed up the process and include all of them in the next block say for 0.1BTC? Not really 200, just a chain of couple dozen. This would really help me out.

about 200 transactions, each transaction has no tx and is signed by the last transaction, will Alice have to wait for a long period to receive the funds? Can Alice speed it up?
Huh
I believe he meant "no transfer fee".

Ahh - not sure why I couldn't work that out myself!

Anyway, the answers are that it will indeed take a long time to receive the funds (you're extremely unlikely to get more than one transaction into each block at a time), and currently the way the transactions are selected into a block in the reference client means there is no way to speed it up if miners are running unmodified clients.

This thread is relevant. Someone is doing the exact thing you describe.

No way man. Alice and Bob are the superheroes of cryptography.
