We're doing database operations, please come back in an hour!
yep, got it all. cheers.
i feel that it is a trap of sorts, after a big win (understandably) some people would get annoyed and then eventually continue to throw - and then lose it all, simply due to the fact they weren't able to withdraw.
i've personally had enough of provably fair sites (satoshidice, to its credit, has been reasonable); as the entire concept is gamed.
the hash that you are presented, how do you know it hasnt been pre-calculated? very little cpu work to do so.
and for every hash that you see.
i've been toying with an entirely transparent concept for a dice site; where the users can see the guts and all of the site code.. as it runs. no ifs, no buts, no coconuts. using a randomization source that can be independently queried to ensure that that was the given seed/number at this time etc.
not asking for funding, but would this interest people?
about a quarter written.
