I wasn't saying your method didnt work or trying to change your method I was curious if my method is sufficiently random. If someone can guess the next block hash we're screwed anyhow so it seems like a good source of entrop.y

Would a decent method be to look at a block that will be mined in the future, and use the last digit in it's hash? For example block #1337
http://blockexplorer.com/b/1337
Has the block hash of 000000008bf44a528a09d203203a6a97c165cf53a92ecc27aed0b49b86a19564 which ends in 4

my method is fine and random
In the case that my understanding is correct, couldn't the following happen?:
- Pool operator entirely fakes the share number to rig a contest
- Pool operator only displays a fake share number on their website (but uses the real one in the distribution calculations)
- Pool's website is compromised by an attacker and displays a fake share number
- The pool shuts down (so there is no share number). Whatever you chose as a replacement, wasn't agreed upon when the users entered the drawing.

I suggest you specify a exactly period of time, e.g. "after 31/08/2012 23:59". Once you do it, publish here and I will hash your terms to settle the winner.

Why not? Because I could be a spammer. I could have spent 5 days, 14 hours and 27 minutes logged in just to scam 1BTC ($10) off you guys.
got the PM, thank you
