I'll have to lock this topic as almost no one in the gambling section seems to understand what I'm asking here.

Seems like much of crypto's history will be lost if we don't do our best to preserve it for future generations.
Tread carefully in this territory. Don't assume what you know is common knowledge. Write it, share it, reproduce and improve. This is how humanity has been moving forward for centuries.

No need to find it online.

Some of casino who have their own original games, mostly puts their source code information regarding provably fair. Example, you are using "Stake" signcamp in their casino on "Provably Fair" they put explanation too about the provably fair.

The question, did you understand the code or not. Grin

sorry, but I'm confused. am I missing something? aren't there a lot of articles talking about provably fair? I mean, If you search on Google "provably fair" you'll get articles talking about it and the technology behind it.

There are plenty of articles alright. But you can't use gambling promotional sites as sources on wikioedia. We would need something equivalent of research or books or at least news sites that are reputable such as wsj, wapo etc.

It shouldn't be that hard normally but I guess early bitcoiners were a bit too indifferent to publish or document what they were doing that properly.

I hope this post will not fall to deaf ears. Cry

I recently noticed that the Wikipedia article for provably fair gambling has been deleted since 2021! The discussion about the deletion resulted in most users agreeing that it was not notable of a topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Provably_fair_algorithm


The deletion has nothing to do with the fairness of results, it's just deleted because they think it's not used by many so they allocate that space for something else but as said you can find lot of proven articles about probably fairness and you don't have to reasearch anything at all, you can do your own research about the fairness of the results from the hases.

For example here's a tool from btcgosu: https://www.btcgosu.com/tools/provably-fair-verifier/

So I'm here wondering, so many websites use provable fair algorithms.
There's decent science behind provable fairness too.

But Wikipedia's guidelines for notability isn't just notoriety or use. It's also documentation.

Wikipedia is like the world's portal to knowledge. If we respect crypto gambling we should see what provable fairness was based in and try to write an article with some half decent sources.
I think it's quite important to spread the word of provable fairness.

Anyway, if you're experienced with provably fair gambling, would be good if we could collect some sources at least. I could try to assemble a wikipedia article from that.
