SteemRollers | Provably Fair SteemDice v.02


How to play

  • Transfer an amount between .02 and 2 SBD or STEEM to @steemrollers.
  • In the memo write a whole number between 5 and 85 for your desired chance to win.
  • Max Payout is 8 SBD!
  • MAX PAYOUT IS 8 SBD so don't bet 2 SBD with less than 20% chance to win. You'll be paid 8 SBD.
  • In about 1 min "refresh" the page to see the result.
  • Every losing bet will receive .001 SBD so you can see the transaction id.
  • NOTE: The misaligned Txid issue should be resolved.

Fairness


*This is an automatic process. Please check to make sure there are funds available. I started it out with 80 SBD.
**Leave feedback is steemit.chat #steemrollers channel. I will be happy to correct mistakes.
*** House edge will diminish and limits will be lifted as the wallet grows!

Interesting, regardless of what you think of gambling, I think it's good for STEEM to let people gamble, it can bring a lot of value.

Gambling is the primary use of bitcoin, so why not STEEM too?

"Now we except Steem." Is it correct or you wanted to say "accept" ?

:) it was really late

very interesting :))) Thank you for sharing with us!

Like I already said here, this is not provably fair: nothing stops you from selecting a secret after the fact. You can select the outcome of the first n games per day to your liking, and then mine a matching secret in about 2^n attempts (depending on the chance and actual outcome).

Honesty, I don't understand how that would work. If you would like to show me an example I would like to see it. If I am reading it right you are saying that multiple secret keys will work for the same rolls?

They broadcast a txid to me.
I take the sha256(txid + key)
Say the result is: f4fe638581903dabc67d4b80ee7e3018bad898dabde1cd1578738fef471812c2
Then I take f4fe and convert it to a decimal to get the roll of 62718.
I am just not seeing how I can reproduce f4fe638581903dabc67d4b80ee7e3018bad898dabde1cd1578738fef471812c2
along with all the other hashes with a different key.

I got this model from SatoshiDice.

If there is a way it is beyond my current understanding. If know of a way to make fair I am all for it.

On the very first roll in a day you can decide if you want that player to win or to lose, then choose a secret that produces the desired outcome:

  1. Choose secret
  2. Compute roll
  3. If roll doesn't match desired outcome, go back to step 1
  4. Publish resulting transaction

This can be extended to the first N rounds in a day. In the following, i denotes the current round number, r_j the roll of round j, t_j the txid of round j:

  1. if i < N, choose desired roll outcome r_i and publish result
  2. else if current round == N, choose desired roll outcome r_N
    2.a select secret
    2.b compute hashes of (t_j + secret) and compare to r_j, if mismatch go back to 2a
    2.c publish result
    2.d save secret as S
  3. else /* i > N */ compute r_i from t_i + S and publish result

I was wrong with my original estimate of 2^n attempts because I overlooked that you publish r_i. In truth you need about 2^(16*N - 15) attempts.

Thank you for trying to explain. It is still over my head. Is there something I could add to make suitably fair for you? In any case my secret key is generated with sha256(str(random())) and changed automatically at midnight then published. I guess there isn't a good way to prove that, but you may look at the wallet results and statistical evidence.

I am all for making it provably fair. To the best of my knowledge it is. I am open to working with you since you seem to have a better grasp on it than I do.

What I think you are saying is don't publish the result until the I find a secret that matches all the results prior to that roll? Once I find a secret that matches every desired result of every roll, then I publish the roll. If so wouldn't that take a ton of computational power do that in the time span of receiving and sending back a transfer? By the time I got past a couple rolls wouldn't it be more cost effective to use that power for mining crypto instead? I am not trying to poke fun or anything. I am just trying to understand it.

What I think you are saying is don't publish the result until the I find a secret that matches all the results prior to that roll? Once I find a secret that matches every desired result of every roll, then I publish the roll.

Exactly!

The computational power required depends on how many rolls you want to fake. For the first one in a day it would be very easy. I think 3-4 should be possible without too much effort.

IMO publishing a hash of the secret at the start of the day would help a lot. I'm not going to say that it would be secure, but I don't currently see how you could cheat then.

badass!! Anyway to make this somewhat transparent to bitsler?

looks like a good time stealer for some of the larger dolphins and whales here on the steemit.

Looks like your game doesn't work anymore. You might want to consider making a post about it. WAMP-WAMP-WAAAAAMP!!!
