Another request here for provably fair.  It looks like fun but without a better thought out site I will pass for now.  Best of luck!

Hmm. I just tried using the latest TX hash (by timestamp) from the bitcoin node's memory pool but I'm not sure that's going to be good enough.
Network propagation delays mean that other nodes might have a different latest TX to the node I'm using.
Even if I picked the highest-value TX from the memory pool I suspect the same issue would apply.

Example from game logs:

Code:

2015-06-12 20:15:55.686906 Using tx hash as seed: 0058f868f69456d3ce1bb0df7454c08bf69734874feba2cae9b19359eb574e20

But when I look up that TX at blockchain.info:

Received time: 2015-06-12 20:15:39

And this is with the game server synced using NTP with offsets, delay and jitter sub 10ms.

Awesome game this brings back beautiful memories with my family staying at the sea side every summer, It really does and you have created something brilliant to me an you can count me playing weekend evenings. When people create something different to what the majority are doing = awesomeness, well done!

Okay I think I have the answer to the provability issue.
I'm off to bed now but will discuss it with my co-developer tomorrow and hopefully implement it tomorrow too.

Many thanks for the feedback everyone! I hope we can get this game up to scratch soon so that we can make more olde-worlde arcade games for people to play!

Is possible play with burstcoin ? Is the first time i see a dice or betting site, that accept direct burtcoin, how did you implement them , given the kind of wallet that?
If you add a provably fair, sure you find more user like bet to the burstcoin thread

Actually it was a damn sight easier to implement the Burstcoin support than the BitCoin!
For BitCoin I have to find the player's account by looking up the previous transaction's output scripts, etc.
For BurstCoin the actual play transction has the sender's account directly in the transaction data. Way simpler. The API calls are easier to use too.
I still had to write code to confirm payouts (after a few blocks).

The BitCoin module to the game is almost twice as many lines as the BurstCoin module!

Okay, we've now added pages for provability, recent bets and highest winners/hall of fame. (They can be found under the "About" tab)

Is better add directly a page and a link with provably fair, is the option more important to the site.
Later you have add this, you have add your site to the burst coin official thread ? Is important because no dice accept burstcoin

Haha no way, I used to love this kind of horse racing game at the arcades when I was a young boy, I used to play them all the time. Great idea to attract people aged over 25 or so, the pic in the OP made me smile, brings back childhood memories hehe.
I will sign up to this site when I have some spare time, might have a play with a small amount of bitcoin
Good luck with the site guys, great idea, love it.

Would be better if you put the provably fair page in new tab beside "about" tab.
Or somewhere outside. the website very simple and the game very simple too. I like it.
Just the website design need to fix for better looks.
