Topic: Did I undertood Provably Fair correctly? (Read 581 times)
Well, it should not really be a random formula. It has to be deterministic, otherwise nobody could check it.
Bump of shame!
Hi! I want to make Provably Fair system for the game like satoshigrid, where I have boxes with hidden prizes.
Now, I have read many info in this topic, but maybe I'm retarded, somehow I can't figure out did I put it all together in my head properly.
Please, let me know, if I am going to do this correctly:
On the server, I generate seed from the, lets say, current microtime.
Using this seed, I fill randomly positions with the prizes, using some php rand() function,
As prize amount is always the same, I don't need any user input here. No matter where they are
placed, it is always fair.
I hash that seed, and present it on my website on game launch.
After the game is complete, everyone can see, where the prizes were.
And I tell the real seed number which was hashed.
So everyone can compare it with hash, and I supply random formula I used to geneate spots (formula never changes)
So is that enough to call this approach secured and fairly proofable?
