SteemRollers | Provably Fair SteemDice v.02 (Now we accept STEEM!)

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.

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.
