Title: Provably fair - You are not doing it right !!! Post by: arxwn on September 09, 2014, 11:18:00 PM Hello people,
I've been watching the bitcoin gambling scene, and it seems that provably fair is just a catchphrase for most sites. Yes it is provably fair it some abstract way, but most sites require users to enter javascript code and search the net for hmac512 function or sha256. That is not fair for our customers. I spoke with someone yesterday trying to verify somehow his bet That is not proper. On our site we do it the right way, all the calculations are in your face and if you want to confirm something then you search not the other way around. What is your opinion on the matter ?

I dont dispute the random generation number, my problem is with the presentation problem. It should be dead simple for the user to understand what the hell is going on and unfortunately it is not.

It can be packaged smartly though, sorta like how you don't need to know how a CPU works to use a PC.
