Title: knas randomizer good for gambling?? Post by: pixel375 on June 16, 2016, 03:08:57 AM Hello, I want to start a simple little ruffle type of game site where people sign up with their bitcoin receiving address and get a unique wallet address assigned to them for sending the entry, and then they can just send lets say 0.0001 BTC into the pot, and 2 in every 10 bitcoin addresses will be chosen as the winning address and will get an equal share. I have already made a post about this before, and I was asked what I would use for randomization.
I'm thinking about using a randomizer called "knas Randomizer". This software allows you to create your own file with values, and to choose how many will be selected. So I would manually enter the users, and have it choose 2 random users for every 10 entries, and then I would send each one their share. Also I was asked what way I would be making profit. For the first little while I would just run it as-is, non profit. If I see the user-base increase I would either start placing a few ads on the sides, or keep 1-2% of the pot, and then I will try to get someone to automate it for me and add a few functions to it to make it easier and more secure. So what do you guys think about that knas Randomizer? Would it work for a start up? Title: Re: knas randomizer good for gambling??

You should try doing what dice sites do, and have a server seed and a client seed, with the client seed being chosen by the participants. (Ex: Everyone picks 4 numbers, and they are joined together. Try reading the info on Primedice's probably fair system, as it is basically my suggestion.

And it will be a pain to get people to trust me. But after a few people win their first time, they will keep coming back. I think it would be lots of fun and profitable. heck, I could even just do this whole thing on this forum I guess, couldn't I? (Then again if people would trust me, and I built up some reputation) Title: Re: knas randomizer good for gambling??
