Put in a jail so that other people can trust your code

This is more of a heads up that a bug :)... maybe it should be an email.

This project is an awesome idea, so awesome in fact that I've started coding the same thing :) (I scraped barclays, barclaycard and lloyds and tesco).

One of the ideas I had was creating a common resource of bank scrapers and allowing other people to implement new scrapers, but came to the conclusion that one of the issues was that I don't really like typing passwords to making details into random code (excluding my browser of course).

The work around I thought of was using jails like so:

i. Untrusted jail that can't talk to the internet, this runs most of the code ii. Trusted jail that can talk to the internet, this implements and rpc system that the untrusted jail uses to talk to the internet this would white list connections. The point of this component is to be as small as possible and highly audited.

I was thinking of using docker for this... because people can more easily verify a docker container than another type of jail.

Opinions?
