StackGod, did you ever figure out how to do a good HMAC SHA3-256 in the script? If you did, I'm curious to know how

I think Butascript brings in all smarter features revealing the true importance of gambling. Here, you can place multiple bets that doubles the chances to win.


Smarter features? Arguably, yes. "Doubles the chances to win"? Definitely not. Using a script does not (mathematically, at least) give you significantly better odds - but there are other advantages. Let me paste in something from our FAQ:

Scripts are programs that connect to the game engine and make wagers on behalf of the player. For a player with a clear-cut strategy, they can offer some very significant advantages to manual betting.

  • Scripts automate the betting process. This means you no longer have to be at your screen all the time - you can bet all day, all night, and also have a life!
  • Scripts can analyze data much faster and more efficiently than humans. If you want to calculate the prorated differential of the median and compute it with the matrix of the last 50 bet results (don't do this), you would probably last two games before burning out (whilst doing so manually). A script can do that and much more without even breaking a sweat.
  • Scripts also help to incorporate your strategy and/or replicate your personal betting style. Even if you don't want to analyze past bet data, scripts can still help: a very basic (and bad) example is Martingale or anti-Martingale, where a script can place bets without you having to make manual calculations.
  • Even if you have taken months to come up with an extremely complex and sophisticated gambling method, putting it into practice manually will be very taxing due to the fast-paced nature of the games. A script can condense months of work and implement your genius (cough) strategy in miliseconds.
  • Scripts are not only able to connect to the outside world (you can pull any data into your bets, be it past wagers or the day's lottery numbers), they can even store lookup tables, which can be handy in recovery betting (you no longer need to memorize strings of numbers and quickly change the number before every bet).
  • Scripts mitigate what we call "emotional risk". When you're having a, one way or the other, extraordinary betting run, emotions tend to get the better of us, and rationality often goes out the window. Scripts will never be overcome with emotion and will always stick to the plan, which can be a great boon.

We will be the first to admit that scripts can never replicate intuition or that magical feeling in your balls that tells you to go all in. But, the benefits that scripts provide are very hard to ignore!

I've been trying to do it myself as I was curious. I've run into a problem where I cannot take the SHA3-256 HMAC of something, or I am doing it wrong. window.crypto.subtle.importKey does not support SHA3 operations, and I'm having an incredible amount of trouble trying to use outside code (current was trying to use http://caligatio.github.com/jsSHA/ as an alternative, but cannot get it to work).

Yeah, I had a try and it's a real pain in the ass. What would be ideal if devans could just expose a top level `bustaHash` and `hashToBust` function or something, I think it'd be super easy Cheesy

one would need to place multiple bets and thus recording past data comes at a risk


Sorry, I wasn't being clear. I mean just looking at the past games  (but not the times you played in the past). You can actually offline generate all the past games like this: https://jsfiddle.net/Dexon95/2fmuxLza/embedded/result/  where the only input is the game hash (which you can grab from the engine).  So when the script first runs, it can generate the past n games, and then keep that list incrementally up to date after each game bust event.


It's definitely an annoying and challenging script to write, but thought it'd be good to see how you guys do  Grin


Good luck!

Interesting service, I like the no-bullshit style of you use =)


To kick it off, I'll offer $125 (payable in bits on bustabit) if you can write a script that (through the gui) takes:
* n  -- integer
* t -- multiplier
* wager

And bets in all games if and only if multiplier t hasn't happened in the last n games. When the script starts, it should use the provably fair system [1] to generate the last n games, so it can check when the last time t multiplier was hit.



[1] Which is unfortunately a pain in the ass now, as there's no exported function to make it easy.


(and the script should be made public, and free for anyone to use Cheesy)

Hey, Ryan! Thanks for dropping a post - we here at bustascript really respect you for all you've done for and accomplished within the bitcoin gambling community. As I'm sure you're aware, your request is very difficult (dare I say impossible), but never say never! Unlike bustadice, there is no skip() function on bustabit (the lowest cashout possible is 1.01x, which means to record multipliers, one would need to place multiple bets and thus recording past data comes at a risk). Once we're done coding scripts for all our paid customers, I'll be sure to think of a solution to your very interesting problem. I think I might host a 24/7 web scraper, but the sandboxed script area on bustabit won't be able to access it... hmm. You've given me some food for thought. Thanks for dropping by!

Edit: That gives me an idea! If any member as trusted as RHavar would like to take a vouch copy, we would greatly appreciate it (preferably someone on the DT list). You may request a script and we will code it free of charge, and if you wish to make it public, we will do so. This way, our abilities will be vouched for Wink

Hello, I am StackGod and I am the head coder for bustascript, a script coding service. Users can provide their specifications and create a custom script based on their needs, or they can purchase premade designer scripts.

Sometimes, gamblers would like to step away from the screen and automate their betting. Other times, gamblers have ideas for potentially profitable systems and would like to try it out, but manually doing so may prove to be time-consuming or problematic. That's where bustascript steps in! All customers have to do is provide the specifications, and we will code up the script for them within 48 hours. (Please remember that we do not endorse the usage of any script - users have given us some very stupid requests in the past, and our job is to comply - everything you do with the scripts is at your own risk.) Please do read the disclaimer on our site as well as the gambling site of your choice.
