You're semi-joking, but blockchains could solve this problem cleanly: releasing secret information unless payment is made. In this case, it's a subcase of time-lock crypto (http://www.gwern.net/Self-decrypting%20files) and like time-lock crypto in general, can in theory be solved by 'witness encryption'. Witness crypto lets you create an encrypted file whose decryption key is _X_ Bitcoin blocks (specifically, their SHA hashes which are the PoW); after _X_ blocks have been created after a particular block ID, the file can be decrypted. So that's general time-lock crypto, for public broadcast.…

If you are interested in this, the list of papers for the 2015 International Conference on Learning Representations has been released: http://www.iclr.cc/doku.php?id=iclr2015:main#submissions There's some pretty good stuff there. I really liked Crypto-Nets: Neural Networks over Encrypted Data[1]: The problem we address is the following: how can a user employ a predictive model that is held by a third party, without compromising private information. For example, a hospital may wish to use a cloud service to predict the readmission risk of a patient. However, due to regulations, the patient's…
