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
From my understanding, the share number is completely independent to the mining pool, and it's calculation isn't publicly available. Is that correct or am I mistaken?

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.

I was curious about the randomness of your method so just for fun, I crawled their site and created a distribution:

Last digit : frequency
0:213
1:227
2:203
3:222
4:223
5:191
6:207
7:214
8:205
9:219

Free bump...what can I say? Grin

Ill buy 2...What the hell, why not.

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

I'd rather just not enter if someone can steal my entry because they're faster to post than I am. ^^

You shouldn't use a single address, as anyone can watch the wallet on blockexplorer and claim the ticket purchases.

so PM the address?

That's why i said send at the same time you PM me, have two windows open

who expects someone to watch blockchain all day or all week for a 1btc prize

GET IN - Smart Ticket Protocol - Live in market!
I'm going to copy your idea nearly word-for-word and post it in this exact subforum, but without charging commission. I will then see how long it takes for thread to be recognized. This is experimental and I will never do this again, and yes, I know I'm a douche.

no you're not. thank you
This post confused me. Are you saying that I'm not a douche or that I won't post it? Because it's a little late for the second option.
