Please go to here (Scribd.com) to read my Keystroke Lotteries idea. It was originally publicly available on Google's now-extinct Knol website, but bots soon scrapped it and began posting it all over the Web, in more or less mangled forms. Nobody ever reads them. But someone did post a version on Slideshare, which got picked up by someone on the Bitshares forum, which in turn led to a brief discussion before petering out, forever. (Forum discussions just don't scale up.)

It will take years, but some form of a keystroke lottery will eventually catch on. But it won't be because of anything I wrote. Instead the concept will occur spontaneously to someone, probably in China.
