I just thought: because you wrote about this flaw, you could also suggest how to correct it.

You know, I did suggest the stackexchange post, which has what I think is the correct algorithm.

I have implemented new random algorithm that solves bias flaw. Please ensure that it is correct.

With the caveat that I'm not a PHP programmer at all, it looks right to me.

Someone already took Italian translation, but said that he is very busy in near time. You can start working on Italian locale.

Winning ticket determination algorithm have changed to increase produced random number quality. The bias described above was completely eliminated.

Code:

function getWinningTicket($nonce, $blockHash, $ticketsTotal)
{
    $randMax = 268435455;
    $remainder = $randMax % $ticketsTotal;
    $output = -1;

    do {
        $hash = hash('sha256', $nonce . $blockHash);
        $randHex = substr($hash, strlen($hash) - 7, 7);
        $x = base_convert($randHex, 16, 10);
        
        $output = $x % $ticketsTotal;
        $nonce .= '0';
    }
    while($x >= ($randMax - $remainder));
    
    return $output + 1;
}

Previous version (use for verification of the raffles completed before March 26, 2013, 03:15 UTC):

Code:

function getWinningTicket($nonce, $blockHash, $ticketsTotal)
{
    $hash = hash('sha256', $nonce . $blockHash);
    $randHex = substr($hash, strlen($hash) - 7, 7);
    $randDec = base_convert($randHex, 16, 10);
    
    return ($randDec % $ticketsTotal) + 1;
}

I like it.  I blogged recently about a bias I noticed will small (i.e. 50) sets of (contiguous) hashes showing drastic skew, although with much larger sets (i.e. 1,000,000) this was eliminated entirely.  I will retry with this new algorithm and see if small sets show improved probability.  Thanks!

We are happy to announce bonuses for the Peerbet website and Android app translation. You can earn 0.01-0.1 BTC depending from the localization value to the Peerbet (i.e. popular languages will be rewarded higher). You need to translate website's locale files and Android app's strings.xml.

If you are interested in, write what languages do you know.

I could do Polish translation. From the second one it's this /Peerbet_src/res/values/strings.xml file only?

We use Bitcoinmonitor for payment notifications and it sometimes goes down. If this downtime is too long, send me an e-mail and I will add your deposit manually.

P.S. I see your deposit is credited now!

If you need txID in the raw transaction history, add "txid=1" parameter to the profile-transactions.php call.
