I think lotto would be a great idea, but I'm wondering if it would be possible to have it end like once a week.  Maybe Saturday, 2:00pm GMT.  Is it possible to have it conclude at a specific time like this?  Short term lottery may get some attention, but not like a once a week or more would, as the pot would inevitably get enormous.  People do things like travel to nearby states, or call their family & friends, to pick up lottery tickets when they get into a few hundred million.  If the payout was 99% to the winner, .05% to transaction fees, & .95% to a charity address which could be voted on by those who participate, this would be very unique, and positive.  Suddenly you'd see organizations publicize their NXT address along with their BTC.  If the first one was specified to be for Sean's Outpost, it could be announced with the start of the first lotto & that in and of itself would generate attention, good will, and of course, funds for a great cause.

Edit

It should probably be more like .0001%, or 0%, transaction fees as people don't need another reason to resent the initial investors NXT distribution.

Ho nice, lotto with AT would be very nice in Nxt!

That guy triggered one of the traps. It's sad that people paid money for coins that will become useless...

Change log:

Allow non-unique asset names.

Added getAssetsByName API call returning a list of all assets
with given assetName.

Added getAllTrades API call returning all trades starting from
a given timestamp (contributed by Antanst).

Improved the JSON responses for several API calls:
getAsset now also returns numberOfTrades. getAccount now also
returns unconfirmedBalance. broadcastTransaction now also returns
transaction hash. getAsk/BidOrder now also returns order height.
Performance of getTrades should be greatly improved, and it also
returns block id for each trade.

Explicitly stop all jetty servers when Nxt.shutdown() is called.

Escape text inserted as peer software or peer announced address
in the NRS client html, to prevent cross-site scripting and
related attacks by malicious peers.

Now that Crypto.sign() never produces bad signatures, no need
for additional call to verify() after block sign, or for
multiple transaction sign attempts.

Im going to just stop responding to you.  You give zero justification or method of application for your proposals.  And I dont believe you are thinking things through. For example, what if power costs are different at different locations?  Should people charge different fees then?  In the NXT application, different forgers charging different fees is simply ludicrous, and will break instant transactions.

Does this work with no-ip (etc) or only for ip addresses?  

I´ve provided an address. Let´s see if he will be able to send some coins to it

I'm gonna be so rich.

So the traps require external influence, and are not automatic from the software?  In that case, anyone doing something detrimental may backfire on NXT
