What efforts like this are missing is publishing a cryptographic hash before engaging in the deception. Otherwise it can seem like the author intentionally decided to mislead but might have changed their intention after winning.

Publishing something openly like e1c7aa9150766bd5279b54951e3828ed9c19367af21f03f669eb586bd54c13b1 which can later be verified once "revealed".

Of course, what you do is publish plenty of different hashes on the block chain(s) of your choice. Then you can later reveal what you feel like.


Don't really have to involve blockchain here (yet again), publishing on a website and letting Internet Archive archive it is good enough. Or even posting it on Twitter/HN/$social-media-with-edit-limit


Oh, so now we're trusting Internet Archive to not be compromised by hostile actors?

(/sarc; I love seeing how far one can go down the opsec paranoia rabbit hole if one really tries. ;) ).
