3 btc fpr rock paper scissors.... You guys clearly have too much money. I hope the loser could afford the loss. So what will you do with the 3btc you just won ? Let me guess make even more ?

is this kind of game also available in notepad lets just say you upload a file rar file to be specific and you will encrypt the file with a password with your choose paper, rock or scissors and you will upload it to a trusted platform that you can't change the date you uploaded it just like here btctalk you will see a dot if post have been edited, alternatively then you will give the link when your opponent stated his pick and he then download the file and decrypt it by using the paper, rock or scissors he/she will know whether in an instant if he wins or not any idea?
I don't think there would be an easy way for the second person to verify and know the result without the first person actually telling him. If I post the password before hand, or if you know what it is, you can easily check and make sure you win. I think the method used by Ryan is probably the easiest yet effective and secure method there is (no need to unzip a file, easy to verify). With PvP not done on a website, you will have to sacrifice speed for it to work.

@jackg - It would take more than 100 years probably to brute force Ryan's hash, even knowing that it either starts with paper, rock, or scissors. I personally think using encryption is the way to go in this case, and they also don't have to trust a third party. I suppose signing a message and giving a signature would work as well.

https://bit.ly/387FXHi lightning theory
In response to using the sha256 hash, it would be easier in future for you to use gambit.com for that or to sign a message from the address the funds were sent to (makes it easier to explain to other users also). Brute forcing can actually work in some cases though would take a lot of effort to do.

Hi
Indeed I lost. I had only 33% odds to loose but, what do you want... my luck...
Yes I am very sad and affected, that's why I stay away from computer. I don't want to come and complain!
I just wish, still, to thanks Ryan, I am sure if I won he would be glad to pay me. I even wonder if he would not be happier if I won than if he won ah ah ah. I am also 100% CERTAIN he did not cheat in any way.

And yes I was the one who asked the best way to either double up or loose the 3 BTC...

Also please note Ryan had no interest at all doing this, as there was no edge at all.

I will be offline for a few weeks time to keep cool, but don't worry, beside money, my life is very good.

Actually you can slowly double your money using that 3 btc. 3 btc is not small amount though and you can really use it to earn some coin out there rather than busted in one all in. Hope you wont try to recover some of your loss by bet 6 btc again on this kind of games

@rhavar congrats anyway to your big winning Grin

He can try something like BW.com for an 8% yearly profit for emple.

good to know you're oke @zirt
for ryan congrat win 3BTC is a large amount


And congratulations to ryan for winning this!

Will do this challenge again soon when you got enough money to fight back Ryan? It might not sound entertaining for all members here, but some are. Smiley

in a way that proves that Ryan pre-selected it and can't change it yet Boursy doesn't know it and can't figure it out?  I'm not saying that it doesn't, I'd just like to learn more about the backend technology.  Thanks!

To expand on what DarkStar_ said, we need to first make two (very safe) assumptions:

a) sha256 can not be reversed (you can hash things, but you can't unhash them)
b) there's no way to find two things that hash into the same outcome

So what I can do, is pick a result and hash it:

382635c9325bf3273d195ff1b8a44e5b11afd7d97addeb8863ea35feb98c1a07

but this is extremely insecure, because it can be "brute forced". (You can try that yourself, just check all possible outcomes and you'll see what it is). So to prevent it being brute forced, I add some random digits after my result, that makes it impossible to brute force. Now due to assumption a) I know that my opponent can't unhash it and cheat. And due to assumption b) my opponent knows I can't change my pick

Run sha256(scissors|f75916d142d536313f7d4206cfacfa99dd4a28420ea5e25c7e4517b2d189da8b), or find a sha256 converter online, paste the text and see if the hash matches. You will get the same hash that he originally posted. Anyway, I can't explain how it works (Google might help). Bitcoin runs on the same technology.

Holy shit you guys mustve been bored to come up with this gamble. Nice win ryan

Actually he just wanted a way to double his bitcoins with the lowest house edge possible. I first told him he could use one of the betting sequences developed by Dooglus or Blockage ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/challenge-whats-the-best-way-to-win-1-btc-with-1-btc-939776 ) which would allow him to change a 1% house edge to ~0.7%  for this purpose ... but as it's pretty complex I thought I'd give him the chance to do it for 0 house edge with a friendly game of rock paper scissors.

You could have told him to make a ~0.24% house edge dice bet at moneypot. Simple, but still lower.
Anyway, congrats on your win.
