However, if you want to get some extra accountability pick a foe or an anti-charity. Knowing that your money will go to a person or cause that you don’t like will push you to work extra hard to achieve your goal.&#xA;&#xA;This is is like self-flagellation. The ways we try to program ourselves is quite funny sometimes, I find the putting money at stake vs anti-charity approach more interesting though, but it would have to be a high enough amount that the person should care about losing. That makes things a bit tricky, and I guess the benefit of bitcoin is that it can be cheaper to move from/to your account.  &#xA;  &#xA;For the anti-charity one, thinking about it now I guess the reason to support both options is that someone might find their beliefs more important that the money they would loose. If you put 50$ at stake for if you complete your task but don&#39;t care about that 50$ it might just not get done.&#xA;&#xA;There could also maybe other types of non-monetary one like if it would automatically message someone you don&#39;t want to message could also be interesting to keep people motivated. Could be some interesting cryptographic stuff done there too. It in a way also acts as a deadmans&#39; switch.</html></oembed>
