Why am I not able to change the client seed without changing the server seed also? This is not provably fair. I need to be able to edit my client seed before every bet, otherwise I am at a risk that you pick a seed that will have a higher probability of me losing with a given client seed. Betking, the biggest btc gambling site, lets users change seeds at any point. I am willing to believe that you have simply overlooked this aspect and there is nothing evil going on, but you should change this asap.
Hello sir,
We use the same provably fair system as other dice websites like Primedice for example. So they are not provably fair? I sent your request to the dev team. I don't see any problem to add it if you think it's better.
Thanks,
William
I think you made an error copying their provably fair system. Betking.io and
Primedice let you change the client seed whenever you want, without changing the server seed. I don't really think this is a problem though, but it would be good to have it. rambeazle, it would be a horrible plan to pick a client +server seed to make you more likely to lose, by either getting more high numbers when you bet on low, or more low numbers when you bet on high. Why? Someone might figure this out, and keep betting on the one the seed is more likely to give, and make some safe and easy profit.
If your so worried about that rambeazle, pick the opposite of what you would normally pick (hi/lo). You would have a higher probability of you winning, unless your saying that they predicted you would do that, and make the opposite more likely to win?
Edit: Primedice doesn't let you.
Fair enough. I just think that if they want to be transparent to a maximum extent, they should allow for the changing of the seed. It would put new players at ease and would cost them nothing, as it is an industry best practice anyway (see betking).
rambeazle,
IMO, you are EXACTLY CORRECT in your thinking and inquiry to "prove" the validity of the transparency claim.
The "pick the opposite of what you would normally pick (hi/lo). You would have a higher probability of you winning, unless your saying that they predicted you would do that, and make the opposite more likely to win?" comment makes ZERO SENSE! It doesn't matter what you "pick" when the server is still going to return whatever it wants... the same problem as the first bet/choice...
Anyhow, your recommendation to allow the client side seed to be changed... BRAVO! PERFECT!
And to the site owner or representative here... yes... push for this HARD... if it does not happen then all claims of "provable" are just that... claims and NOT "proof".
Something was mentioned about "doing what the biggest site is doing"... that is horrible thinking... one of the main parts of a successful business/website/service is how it DOES THINGS DIFFERENTLY and that HAVE NOT BEEN DONE BEFORE... think about that and DO THE RIGHT THING... that is, of course, IF you actually ARE "fair"... PROVE IT with TRUE transparency... F "the other guys" and what they do... it is not enough but YOU have a chance to DO ENOUGH!!!
