1) We have generated a chain of 10 million sha256 hashes, starting with a server secret that has been repeatedly fed the output of sha256 back into itself 10 million times. The sha256 of the final hash in the chain is: c56c9fe892bd23ff6d20da0b505c86db9acecb6a257a2b79b23dfface1d4ea75, by publicising it here we are preventing any ability to pick an alternate sha256 chain. 2) Parabolic will play through that chain of hashes, in reverse order, and use the hashes to determine the crash point in a probably fair manner. 3) To avoid criticism that the Bitcoin address used in step 1 was carefully chosen to generate lots of "bad" crash points, each hash in the chain will be salted with a client seed, which we have no control of. The client seed will be the block hash of a Bitcoin block that hasn't yet been mined: block 465525. The reference code (javascript) is as follows: The method to create the hash chain is simply sha256: function genGameHash(serverSeed) { return crypto.createHash('sha256').update(serverSeed).digest('hex'); }
The method to convert a game hash, mix it with the picked client seed to a game multiplier: function crashPointFromHash(serverSeed, clientSeed) { function divisible(hash, mod) { // We will read in 4 hex at a time, but the first chunk might be a bit smaller // So ABCDEFGHIJ should be chunked like AB CDEF GHIJ var val = 0; var o = hash.length % 4; for (var i = o > 0 ? o - 4 : 0; i < hash.length; i += 4) { val = ((val << 16) + parseInt(hash.substring(i, i+4), 16)) % mod; }
return val === 0; }
var hash = crypto.createHmac('sha256', serverSeed).update(clientSeed).digest('hex');
/* In 1 of 101 games the game crashes instantly. */ if (divisible(hash, 101)) return 0;
/* Use the most significant 52-bit from the hash to calculate the crash point */ var h = parseInt(hash.slice(0,52/4),16); var e = Math.pow(2,52);
return Math.floor((100 * e - h) / (e - h)); }
The chain could be generated with code such as: var serverSecret = 'If you knew this, you could steal all my money'; var clientSeed = '0000examplehash';
var gamesToGenerate = 1e7;
var serverSeed = serverSecret;
for (var game = gamesToGenerate; game > 0; --game) { serverSeed = genGameHash(serverSeed); console.log('Game ' + game + ' has a crash point of ' + (crashPointFromHash(serverSeed, clientSeed) / 100).toFixed(2) +'x', '\t\tHash: ' + serverSeed); }
var terminatingHash = genGameHash(serverSeed);
console.log('The terminating hash is: ', terminatingHash);
Using our chosen starting serverSeed, the hash terminating the chain is c56c9fe892bd23ff6d20da0b505c86db9acecb6a257a2b79b23dfface1d4ea75. That is to say, the first game's hash played under the new provably fair scheme, when hashed will be c56c9fe892bd23ff6d20da0b505c86db9acecb6a257a2b79b23dfface1d4ea75.

Total supply in the ANN says 25 million. However, in this link https://www.mynxt.info/assets/ available supply is more than 97 million Janus. Please explain! That just has to be updated by the NXT platform, the tokens have been burnt as is no fault of JANUS TEAM that the asset exchange hasn't updated. Everywhere else has been updated as far as i know and there are only just over 25 million tokens now. This is the most transparent DEV Team I ever have met so you don't have to doubt them, that's for sure. If you have any doubts whatsoever go into the slack and ask the JANUS TEAM anything you like, don't just take my word for it. They are always available to answer questions when they have a time spare as they work very hard.

If the DEV Team are more active in Telegram then we should all go there for updates but of course it will be nice to always post here on BTCTALK general main updates as we investors did come in through BTCTALK..I am sure they are busy trying to get everything sorted.

I am at my Mother's for a few days till Friday but managed to transfer all assets and 5 bursts to all outstanding till date emails.. Also I was lucky enough to pick up some really cheap EDGE78 Assets.. for us so I gobbled them up and will upload all these entries on asset and expenses sheets on my return.. .. We also received dividends from haitch, edge78 and burstocean Will be purchasing more assets on my return.. I also traded JANUS token a bit so with my profit I made trading will use 50% of my profit to buy some JANUS for QBK.. this is a small gift from me.. I will add it it as a donation.. so got lots of accounting to do when I get back..
|
|

I just saw you posted some nicely priced cheap assets..just as I was putting in a buy order for my QBK asset..so I bought them to grow QBK.. I am happy how things are going here.. hope to get more soon..

There are a few billion people on this planet that have no access to education, food or water so although it averages out like you say, in reality things are very very different. I do believe though the gap will narrow as more people begin to have access to technology, like mobile devices in developing countries. This may bring more and more people to Bitcoin than previously anticipated.

My Husband really liked this TOKEN and bought some yesterday. I also will buy some as I made an incy bit of profit trading yesterday. Do I need to open my own ICO account or can he buy on my behalf? We both have separate ETH addresses so that isn't an issue. We just want to do things properly that's all. I will be back in three days, but have access to Twitter and here with limited internet access.

Everyone involved in JANUS should pop into the slack at least every few days..so much going on right now and more exciting stuff happening. I don't want to spill the beans, want to let the MANAGEMENT do that but JANUS holders will be pretty pleased with the latest developments at hand.

Is this a good time t buy more ETC? I see there is a big correction and also any reason for the sudden downturn or is it just profit taking because of the btc price surge? I have been trying slowly to accumulate ETC but last lot I bought it was @ 46
|
|
|
I will be taking my Mother back to the village today so will be back Friday..I don't have access to wallets there and my internet access will be limited so when I come back Friday, will resume QBK work.. I will need then to update both asset sheet and Income and expense sheet and purchase a few more assets for the Asset as I will buy asset direct from the Issue.. to help grow the asset..I have been placing buy orders as well whenever I receive personal burst dividends..

Liberland wants to adopt Bitcoin as it's legitimate currency,so why not other countries ADOPT it also? It may be more realistic for each country, whether African or from another continent, to create it's own DIGITAL parallel currency, to run alongside FIAT, OR to replace it completely..This is more viable I think personally than to use Bitcoin as a national currency. Maybe African countries are looking to the blockchain for solutions, but mightcarve out their own unique altcoin or crypto token and not necessarily adopt Bitcoin as their national currency.

Bitcoin is here to stay and as the price slowly steadily rises, more and more mainstream businesses and lay people will be accepting Bitcoin as a part of their every day life in some form or another. I see so many new people coming into Bitcoin daily, buying it for long term storage or wanting to earn an income from it, than say a few years ago where most people saw it as some basement nerdy type of contraption. I see the price of Bitcoin now just slowly and steadily going on the uptrend for a few years to come.

I believe within the next ten years, if we don't have any major world wars, we might see Bitcoin adoption being taken to the next level. Now it is getting more and more popular as a store of wealth as more financial institutions and governments look to the blockchain for problem solving, transparency and further wealth creation. I have noticed that most of my friends on Facebook now all know or are using Bitcoin as opposed to five years ago when only few of us were talking about it.

Interest would be higher in the Consumer Industry as opposed to the store of wealth side. Now speculators, traders and savers adore bitcoin because of the dream of becoming rich one day satisfies their curiosity. It Bitcoin prices were stable then the interest would switch more to merchants and consumers.

MACRON is young and because of his age, this might mean something good for Bitcoin and Alts in general. Many banks now are looking to the blockchain as a new technology so he might be open to perhaps giving Bitcoin startups and Incubators a nice tax break, easier entry laws etc.. So being more business oriented as a personality, Macron may Give Bitcoin a head start, just form a different angle than most would expect.

Are there any community activities regarding this coin for those of us that don't mine and but want to get involved in some level? If there are any promotional activities, I would be very interested to participate.

Janus price and development is getting some real development
There's no issue for janus to reach $1 soon, soon i mean real soon
Only ~25Million in existance
Even $1 we are just at $25 Million
Hitting a $4 will result $100 Million
Exactly! Someone in the post above called me an idiot because I have invested in a TOKEN that gives me dividends every month, has an excellent development team and community, is producing results even faster than anticipated and is growing in real intrinsic value. I like to be such an IDIOT lol.. Either the guy that called me an idiot doesn't understand much English Humor or is not happy to see others make good choices.

hmmm,very dangerous situation...maybe insane goes to crash slowly Panic more! Have you all read the last few pages of improvements and that there is a coin swap going on? FOR INSANE to have all the new enhancements a new chain has to be created and INSANE is being swapped on NOVA FOR INSN. You all have 3 months to swap your coins for the new INSANE VERSION. Please read the previous pages for the latest enhancements before creating FUD and PANIC amongst yourselves and misinforming others with incorrect information. There are a lot of good things to follow for those who are steadfast and patient.
