A related question, if a contact's state rests on something that is guaranteed to have a definite solution, but producing that solution computationally intractable, is there a mechanism for resolving that? It isn't paradoxical or indeterminate, it's just that we don't have the ability to determine the correct game state. (I'm reminded of the SHA-512 hash proposal)

I think contracts can only act by announcement, which seriously makes me wonder how I'm going to get all my assets back.
