How would you know who delivered the beating? Was there supposed to be a reward for that person?

On a related note, has anyone actually tried building a cypherpunk-style assassination market?

"Happy slap" style video clips with some kind of cryptographic signing?
I had an idea for single mothers to post info about deadbeat dads for others to avoid. However, after thinking about it for a bit, I realized it would turn into what you were proposing and decided against it.
hehe, I actually did build that... it was called exes4all...
Why not allow beating requesters the ability to offer a reward to be split by all those who accept the assignment?

or you could have beaters bid on the job...

this could be bigger than eBay!
