With the recent Shadow Bane hack, prompting legal battles in virtual worlds, it would be incredibly funny to see Extortion, and Murder charges coming from higher level characters, threatening or pkilling lower lever characters.
It's more like playing to play chess like a crack addict 10-15 hours a day.... then when some hoodlum comes and re-arranges the peices on you, you freak out, call the cops and try to have him put in jail...

The first thing i would do having this invention in front of me, is to put a small floatation device (leaf, paper boat, etc...) at the bottom of the hill, to watch it float uphill.
Sadly, I would be completely dissapointed.
In Canada, it's Illegal to pay for any good or service, with more than 25 of any given denomination.
For example, my friend tried to pay his parking ticket with a giant glass jar of pennies. The Clerk took the pennies, kept them and informed my friend that his fine was still outstanding.
If the Pennies had been rolled, it would be legal for him to pay up to 25 rolls. As such, he got screwed out of his pennies, and still had to pay the ticket.
I'm wondering who will be willing to stand next to a payphone

Who would want that domain?
You won't be able to send spam (I don't accept any email that contains the word sex, espescially in the address)
You'll be blocked by every single netnanny on the planet.
Your only visitors will be minors, who don't know how to search for porn, besides typing "sex" into the address bar.
Doesn't sound like the best audience to me.
