[un-hash]

Stake.com provide on their site a facility for players to retrieve the original un-hashed* server seed for their "Stake Originals" games. This in normal circumstances allows a player to verify bets in Stake.com's Provably Fair process.

The problem is that there is a limited time frame in which a player can obtain the un-hashed server seed. So if a player for whatever reason is delayed in verifying their bets, the server seed may not be available to them and as a consequence those bets are no longer verifiable or Provably fair. Stake do not inform the players that there is a time limit on the Provably Fair process, nor do they specify what that timeframe is.

If Stake.com have imposed a deadline on server seed retrieval, I think it's a reasonable expectation that players be informed that there is a restriction on server seed retrieval and what that restricted time frame is exactly.

Personally I think when a player changes seed, the original server seed should be published in their bet archive. Then Stake's Sometimes Provably Fair can be just provably fair.


*It's not currently possible to un-hash a server seed as sha256 encryption is one way. However I use the term un-hashed here as it is the term Stake.com use on their website.

Hi Guys,
I'm no longer reachable on the Stake community forum. The moderators there have taken control of my personal account and made modifications to my content there without my permission. Over the last 18 months moderators have been engaging in an escalating set of unethical behaviours:

 - censoring and removing posts that express opinions they do not agree with.
 - creating new accounts, using them to abuse existing players.
 - taking over reputable player accounts and modifying their content.
 
Censorship is a tool of oppression and I cannot continue to contribute to a forum that is policed by individuals who's sole objective is to create an illusion of a supportive community while suppressing the emergence of a supportive community.

I have instructed the staff in the Serbian office to remove all of my content as it does not belong to Stake.com, however 3 months later they continue to use that material to promote the casino, without permission. This is two counts of theft that I am aware of.

There are many good individuals who work at stake.com, but (similar to the players) they are fragmented, and can't conceive of the kind of behaviour that I describe above. So it's really up to the directors now to take action.

To any members of the stake community forum who need to reach me you can contact me here.
