Topic: Pocketdice / bitlucky - Provably fair system? (Read 930 times)
I was wondering about that too
In the Provably Fair Systems of these two sites, the server seed and client seed are rerandomized for every single bet.
The server seed is calculated by the server before the roll and cannot be seen by the user before he rolls. the client seed is apperantly calculated by the user's browser and can therefore not be influenced by the server.

my questions are:
1. Why do these sites not allow you to set your client seed yourself? since the user only knows the Hash that encrypts the server seed and the initial random numbers, he should not be able to predict rolls by setting a certain client seed, yet the system would be a lot more transparent for the user. am i wrong about this?
2. pocketdice creates 30 random numbers ranging from 1 to 6, after all the shuffeling is done, the first 2 numbers in the string are the roll. does it matter for the outcome, how many random numbers they generate? wouldnt it be easyer if they just generated 2 initial random numbers instead of 30?
3. what exactly do the seeds have to do with how the numbers are shuffled?(mathematically)
Thanks alot already for your help=)
