OK -- picture the high trust environment above but with a program that the money holder requires its customers to run, which checks for botting software, collusion, etc. We should be able to replicate the status quo (if the status quo is indeed high trust).

I guess basically what I'm envisioning is leveling the playing field for poker software and having people compete on trust environments (payment systems, deal fairness, game fairness). And if that competition never materializes, well, we've got a spiffy p2p system for free money games I guess. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
