Re: Mystery Bounty Poker Tournament : BitcoinTalk Exclusive, Discussion.
I'm in... I like "Mystery Bounty", can I add bounty on MV? 
$20 for example, I will send it with buy-in. That full house still wakes up at night... I knew it was possible, but I thought it was a bluff.

I knew that the full house would end the game because you put me on a straight and thought you got me with the flush. But honestly, I would have done the same as you. Can't fold the flush usually even if you know that something is cooking. does it mean you are the only one that will know who goy the mystery bounty or you got some committee or users that aware of whose assigned on that mystery bounty.
No even, I can know about mystery bounty holders before the tournament is finished. I have explained the provably fair method of assigning mystery bounty in OP (point 5 and 6).It sounds complicated... I think it would be much better to know in advance. We know who holds the bounty and we all try to eliminate that person, and if the bounty holder wins the tournament, he keeps his bounty. The game is definitely more exciting and there can be a lot of fun & laughing...
Some still remember the first Bitcointalk poker tournaments, we had a lot of fun with these bounties.
No the problem is as memehunter mentioned, we don't have a poker platform available where we can visibly apply the bounty beforehand, let alone that it gets updated every time someone knocks someone out. This is the only reasonable way it can be done. That is why it is called "mystery", because in this case you don't know which player will carry a bounty as memehunter has defined how many bounties will be distributed depending on the number of participants.
