Good to know. It's to bad that its broken and cant be fixed.
Err OK maybe your Enlgish didn't pick up on that so well.
"Fixed" is changing something that isn't broken but is made to favour a system you don't want it to.
Say you bet $1million on a horse race and I was a casino owner and the rate was 1-40 and the second horse had a rate of 1-5 and there was only $10000 on that horse in total. I may "fix" the state of the bet by paying the jockey to fall off it at a certain jump.
BTW, BTC block numbers are already generated, there are 21million block numbers.
NO. They are not already assigned. There are NOT 21million.
There ARE 21 million Bitcoins, not 21 million Bitcoin Blocks.
Just pick one, they are in sequential order. So yes, I do expect to see a block number published somewhere (which is not well documented). It should be placed on the site in a prominent area (along with server seed) with a link to twitter, not hidden in some twitter file that no one is ever going to open or even knows exists.
There is a link LOOK at the site and you will see it in the lottery page.
I dont actually trust twitter timestamps anyway. Never have, never will because they are approximated, batched and have been manipulated in the past.
You don't need to trust twitter as a service or the timestamps that are added as they aren't what makes it provably fair. We don't wnat you to go back 120 lotteries and keep analysing when the results were published.
Twitter < BTC as far as timestamping goes.
I don't understand.
A better solution would be to actually make a BTC transaction with the link to the file instead, then link the transaction on the site. No need to rely upon that twitter garbage.
But then you wouldn't trust the blockchain or its timestamps.
And you'd say it's better to use a twitter site then publishing the data on the blockchain.
Also, you can't put a file on the blockchain as there's only 80 bytes you can write to per transaction. And that'd have gone down well a few months ago @TheQuin, you should really get wetsuit to add to the tremendous increase in the number of blockchain transactions, that would've been really useful.
One of the major advantages of BTC are the fact that it can be used for a RNG and a Timestamping tool. This is a BTC geared site, why is it using twitter for things that BTC is far superior at? Makes no sense to me.
So now you know some sort of bewnefits of BTC? Even though you don't actually know how many Bitcoin blocks there are?
