RE: [UPDATED] Epic Dice shut down due to witness cheating
Not unforeseen. These types of vulnerabilities are well-known for years, and I've personally advised people building games about them.
The developers of this game are either incompetent or knew about the vulnerability but built the game that way anyway so they themselves could "hack" it using a sock puppet. I'm making no claim as to which.
@raycoms and I talked a lot about theoretical ways to crack such randomness and how to design it in a way that is not deterministic for the witness that signs the block.
But I didn't think someone would actually do it.
Thanks. Now I'm speechless for the rest of the week.
I like it more like this:
