Suppose I want to offer player A and player B a bounty for a quest. I tell them the task and, optionally, the reward, and they go to it (or don't). I can even codify it in a promise, which everyone can see. What's the benefit of hashing it? Sounds like the only benefit of hashing it is so to avoid uninvited questors -- but one can simply limit the bounty to specific persons if e wants to. I feel like I'm still missing something. Best, msh210
