RE: SteemRollers | Provably Fair SteemDice | (Now Live)
Nice try, but it is provably unfair. A bot can empty your account in no time.

Steemrollers likes Steemit, and we don't control of the txid's. Any mistakes by the bot will be corrected. If you have an issue please report it a steem.chat #steemrollers.
My point is - the players control their txids, and thereby the dice roll.
It is a fatal flaw to rely on the randomness of txids.
How do they control their txid? Isn't it assign by the blockchain?
The tx is is basically a hash of the tx data, including the signature.
Players can create a transaction, look at the id, and then choose to publish the transaction or not.
I guess I will add a secret key then and I will have to publish it each day.
That's no longer provably fair. You could choose the secret key afterwards.
If I chose the key afterwards it wouldn't match up with every transaction. They can match the roll number to the sha256(txid+key). I will get the hex value of the hash returned. If I choose a key afterwards it would change the hash and the rolls wouldn't match up.
