Title: Introducing Cryptour - Fun Bitcoin Tournament | No signups req | Provably fair
Post by: PlayCryptour on September 19, 2015, 08:00:00 PM
Fresh off the oven. Just hit the Live button only a couple of minutes ago.

Introducing Cryptour (https://cryptour.com).
https://cryptour.com (https://cryptour.com)

Cryptour is an exciting cryptocurrency tournament that is provably fair.

Each tournament functions similar to a poker tournament, except without the cards and a much larger scale.

There is no registration needed to play. No Random Number Generator (RNG)!. 100% provably fair.

We are only just launched with 6 tournaments announced so far, 3 with guarantees!

The tournaments are the first ones we have. We have just went live couple of minutes before the start of this thread. Hope reviews will come soon.

Our Pilot tourney (https://cryptour.com/t/1ESmdyVC14xpytDQYBKw54u8b4EPSjL5H3) is closing soon when Bitcoin block height hits 375 480 (ETA:1 day), has a massive overlay:

BTC 0.003 to enter
with BTC 0.15 guaranteed prize pool

Hope to see some entries soon!

Looking at the probably fair system, I have one doubt, what prevents you from generating an exact txid to win the prize when many people bets? Because you can actually see the salt (it is in your server). Provably fair means that a casino can't take the win from the player or modify it, but here you can find a txid that merged with the salt gives you the victory. I don't know how could you find a way to fix this...

Thank you for reviewing our provably fair algorithm. Yes, our goal is to have a system that not even the house can exploit.

The txid that we are using is txid from bitcoin blockchain itself. We even link directly to blockchain.info so it is not up to us to generate txid. In fact it is generated at players' wallets.

Salt for each tournaments are predetermined even before we get our first entries. While our gut feeling tells that we can publish salt even before tournament concludes, just to be extra safe, we decides to instead publish sha256 hash of salt from start of tournament. When tournament concludes, actual salt will be revealed and that can be validated with the sha256 hash that has been published.

As far as I can tell, I do not think we are able to exploit it even knowing the salt.

Or perhaps, we should make it fair and just publish the salt right away as I don't think it is exploitable, right?

Thanks once again for reviewing it. We would like to create a safe and trustworthy tournament environment for all. Eventually our goal is to allow even 3rd parties to organize tournaments on our platform.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, we are working on it right now.

It was not very straight-forward as we have no accounts, so we will have to have a way to still allow free coupon entries to not only specify winning payout address, but also a way to generate txid without actual payment. I believe we have something figured out now and are in the works!

Thanks!

hmm, you are missing this:
It is possible to know the txid before broadcasting it. So, the player can if he knows the salt generate a txid that makes him win the tournament.

The question is, since you have the salt, what is the guarantee that you will not exploit it?

No, it is not based on hash rates, though that would be an interesting concept!

Cryptour functions just like traditional multi-table poker tournaments, except without cards.
Score is generated for each entries based on txid and tournament salt.

Please check out the section on How Cryptour tournament works (https://cryptour.com/how) for more details.

You may wish to try out the first Pilot tournament (https://cryptour.com/t/1ESmdyVC14xpytDQYBKw54u8b4EPSjL5H3) for only 0.003 BTC. Tournament concluding sometime in a day or so.

You can pick the hash or nonce etc. of the block that concludes the particular tournament (Block 375,480 in the 0.15 tournament) as the salt.

That way, no one would know what the salt is. :)

The tournament ends when the Closing Block is reached. For our Pilot tournament (https://cryptour.com/t/1ESmdyVC14xpytDQYBKw54u8b4EPSjL5H3), it ends when block height is 375 480.

The entries are made by simply making a transaction to the tournament address and for the amount of the entry fee.

Score is generated based on the entry's txid and tournament salt. More info on our provably fair algorithm (https://cryptour.com/provably-fair).

I am also having this thought, of publishing the salt right away and also the position and position (maybe score – but if an entry that scores too high may discourage further participation).

I believe SHA-256 should be safe enough that it is not exploitable, even knowing the salt before hand it is not easy to generate a winning txid. SHA-256 is picked in many places for Bitcoin protocol for precisely this reason.

Nah, publish the salt and people can exploit it. Right now, only you can (I don't think you were aware of it, or you will, but anyway). But if you can make it related to something of the block that will only be known in the future, then it becomes 100% provably fair. :)

SHA-256 is safe. (as long as you don't use an online tool that doesn't store it in their DB. Xorbin is fine, I think)

Knowing SHA-256 before is fine. But knowing the salt isn't.

Txid is transaction id. In this case, the transaction id generated when you send Bitcoins to the address.
Example: 29ff5c0a0fc850df4c89fe2157f26b31fb900a0e3770b8753b7520af2bfebd8e

Salt is some random stuff.
Quote
In cryptography, a salt is random data that is used as an additional input to a one-way function that hashes a password or passphrase. The primary function of salts is to defend against dictionary attacks versus a list of password hashes and against pre-computed rainbow table attacks.
Example: qub4p92c48hcr0q4hqmwop

I dont get this game really, can you please explain this better? I check the how to play but still still dont understand. I see the first GTD 3 entries 1 paid? is this mean that the other 2 dont pay but have entry to the tournament or what?

Ok, I might sound really newbish here because everyone is saying these terms interchangeably and I have no idea what they mean... what is "txid" and "salt"?

txid is transaction (tx) identifier (id).

For instance https://blockchain.info/tx/454a97e0951759fb3c570984c9c7e327911f9718e0a393fdb603e8f22e24e8c8
The long random number after /tx/ is txid.

salt is simply a random secret string that is assigned to a tournament.

txid and salt are passed through a provably fair algorithm (think of it as computational process) to turn each entries into scores that are then used to rank the entries.

Hopefully this helps.

Thanks for the feedback from ndnhc, we are actually doing away with salt as will be replacing it with nonce of closing block, which functions exactly the same as salt in my earlier description – simply as a secret string.

By switching it to nonce, it further strengthens the fairness of the site and ensure that everyone can independently validate that we are running the tournaments fairly.

Rephrasing it, 3 entries at the moment and 1 winner.

(I had the confusion at first too. Paid means the number of people who will be paid the prize)

I dont get this game really, can you please explain this better? I check the how to play but still still dont understand.

Basically you make a transaction to a tournament's address.
Once the tournament closes, the winners will be paid a share of the prize pool.
About 25-30% of the entries win.

I see the first GTD 3 entries 1 paid? is this mean that the other 2 dont pay but have entry to the tournament or what?

Sorry about that.
It actually means 3 total entries so far (all of them paid to enter), but when the tournament closes, 1 will win.

Need to improve on the term a little.

How about 3 entries 1 winner?

So I just enter the tournament by paying and wait for the block and luck is the point of this game or I need to do something when the block is near? The how to play page need better explanation there I think

You are right, sir. You just pay the tournament entry fee and wait until the tournament concludes.

No further actions needed.

I guess maybe we need some demo at "How to play" section. Thanks and good luck!

Can you check again? We deployed some fixes just now.

Please let me know if you still unable to find your entry. It should be reflected in near real time.
Note that we do not have auto refresh yet so you will need to refresh the page to see it.

Change in score calculation

Provably fair algorithm has been updated for all ongoing Cryptour tournaments.

Thanks to suggestions from ndnhc.

Not only is it now less confusing, there is also now lack of obscured information that only the operator knows.

Factors for score calculation are now:
  • Transaction ID (txid) of the transaction
  • First confirming block of the transaction
  • nonce of the first confirming block
  • Tournament address

Refer to https://cryptour.com/provably-fair (https://cryptour.com/provably-fair) for more info.

With this change, players are also able to find out if they win before tournament concludes. Winning entries are indicated with a check mark with green background (See Pilot tournament (https://cryptour.com/t/1ESmdyVC14xpytDQYBKw54u8b4EPSjL5H3) for example).

Payouts will be made once tournament ends (closing block is reached).

A word of advice: if your entry is a winning one, do check from time to time before tournament closes to ensure that it is not overtaken!

All existing entries are now updated successfully with the new scoring system with no issues on integrity.

Good luck!

New provably fair method can ruin fun because we are able to calculate the result for ourselves and the other players before the tournament concludes.
Instead of using the nonce of confirming block I suggest using nonce of concluding block.
I like playing this type of the game with suspense.

That was originally suggested by ndnhc as well.

By using nonce of confirming block, it gives more action, as you know the current standings right after your tx is confirmed, rather than just waiting until tournament concludes.

This hopefully creates more action and excitement for the tournaments and the players.

I understand the point, choosing result this way make this game true tournament instead of making it lottery game.
Thanks to @ndnhc for suggestions and you for implementation. Now we have no doubt that results are not manipulated and game is now fully transparent.

Hoping it would be a fun, exciting and fair platform.

Moving ahead we hope to open up the platform to allow anyone to host tournaments and not only us.

Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions.

Pilot tourney closing soon (< 10 hours at this time of post).

So far we have only got 13 entries, 4 winners, this means huge overlay!

Hope to get more entries soon. You might want to get your entries in fast so you can see where they stand and if you need to improve your standings before tournament closes.

PILOT TOURNEY with 0.15 BTC Gtd (https://cryptour.com/t/1ESmdyVC14xpytDQYBKw54u8b4EPSjL5H3)
  • Closes when Bitcoin block height hits 375 480.
  • Entry: only BTC 0.003 to enter
  • Guaranteed prize pool BTC 0.150 (Overlay!)

Good luck!

To make the game more fast-paced and exciting, we have lowered the confirmation requirement to just ONE (1)!

It is a lottery.  ::)

You get in first, you get in last, nothing changes (I bought the third last ticket or something, and I am second, lol Got lucky.). More like a poker tournament without playing poker. And provably fair too.

Nope. The placings are not who gets in first, but ranking based on entries' scores, which are independently provably fair (https://cryptour.com/provably-fair).

Give it a try. :)

That is your entry txid.

Payouts are only made once tournament closes. The first one will close when block height is 375 480, about 4 hours from now. :)

Stay on 5th and you'll get paid. :)

Luck, yes.

Depends on number of entries: no. Each of the entries have the same winning chance.

All will be clearer once we have a closed tournament.

Tip: if your entry just barely drops out of the winning range, also known as bubble in poker term, make a few more entries so that the number of winners increases.

Ahh really luck hahaha
Anyhow lets say if my position is in winning stage, and then alot entries coming and my position drop out..
Is it possible that entry will back to winning place again if the number of winners increases?

Our first tourney (https://cryptour.com/t/1ESmdyVC14xpytDQYBKw54u8b4EPSjL5H3) is closing in exactly 20 blocks from now.

Hurry if you want to get your entries in. Still plenty of room for overlay.

Also, we have just added a couple more tournaments to get things going, including yet another guaranteed tournament: The '000s (https://cryptour.com/t/1321H8Hs97rGK6AyACUeogDCpKW6r8bx3f) to celebrate the 376k-th block.

Not at the moment though because of the txid.

But it's a feature that we should look at. We shall add support for this with txout index as another scoring factor.

Congrats on your 1st place entry. Hope it keeps its position.

The substring is 32nd to 41st characters, hence for yours fdf1648f8. Still some space to squeeze in to the top position. :)

32nd? Dang! Oh, it is. Can you fix this typo:

Quote
// Concatenate txid, nonce and tournament address
// txid and tournament address are hex strings while nonce is string in integer
composite = txid.toString() + nonce of first confirming block + tournament address;

// SHA-256 it
hash = sha256(composite);

// Get a substring of hash at 32nd to 41st position
// with string length of 9 characters
score_in_hex = hash.substring(31, 40);

// Convert it into decimal
score = parseInt(score_in_hex, 16);


Edit: I checked. Order is correct. Funny I took 32 for almost all the cases.

It's not a typo, in common programming language, esp. for .substring() (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/substring), 1st character is at position 0. 32nd character is at position 31 (starting from 0). Even though the doc is using psuedo-code, we are using JavaScript as the base.

I don't have much idea about javascript. But in Excel, entering =mid(31,40) gets me the substring from the 31st place.

Yup. As the number of entries increase, the number of winners increase.
Winners are around 20-30% of entries.

@Cryptour you should reduce the number of winners and post in the advance distribution of prizes in the case of 50,100,200 etc. entries.
@Cryptour subscribers waiting for freeroll  ;D

We currently have a 6-hour payment processing policy.

All the payments have been processed now. https://blockchain.info/tx/7f5708ae35e551569abc948ebf6d65e8ad7d0669fc3e05c7dd271940284a5e1f

Congratulations to all the winners.

Cryptou (https://cryptour.com) will now go into a short hiatus to fix a certain bugs and adding a few features when we are back. We should be back in a few days.

Do subscribe to our mailing list at the bottom of https://cryptour.com/ to get yourself updated when we are back. You might also score yourself some freeroll entry tickets (if you have no clue what freeroll is, it is basically tournament with free entries but with real prizes!)

Thanks for all your interest and supporting during the initial first few days of our beta test period.

I will still remain on the forum to answer any questions, suggestions and any potential partnership requests.

Thanks again. Stay tuned!
