Not trying to doubt PD but it's suspicious when it lags, then loses. It's almost as if the system is thinking about the roll...
I don't think the system can think about the rolls. If you have accepted the secret server seed, and entered your own seed in, all of your future rolls are pre-determined by a hashed concatenation of both seeds plus a sequential nonce. It is provably fair in this sense.
You linked me something from 2013 without showing any understanding of actual application to our topic at hand.
Once again, the actual method that PD3 uses is deterministic from the get-go. You can verify mathematically that PD3's rolls and future rolls are pre-determined.
Let's walk through the math with PD2 first. The roll values in PD2 is derived from four different components:
1. Secret Server Seed that changes every 24 hours2. Server Seed that changes before every roll3. Your Seed4. Incremental NonceSo the series of PD2 rolls will look like this:
HASH(Secret Server Seed, Server Seed, Your Seed, Nonce)
HASH(ABDCE, SDJSD, VWXYZ, 01)
HASH(ABDCE, PXMSR, VWXYZ, 02)
HASH(ABDCE, ORIMD, VWXYZ, 03)
HASH(ABDCE, BNDKZ, VWXYZ, 04)
The problem with PD2's method is that while it's verifiably fair, it's variable server seed makes it open to accusation of meta-analyzing betting fingerprints and using that to gain additional advantage against the player. This is easily negated by changing YOUR SEED every round... but 99% of gamblers don't do that.
Now PD3's hashing method is much more straightforward. The Roll values in PD3 is derived from only three different components:
1. Server Seed2. Your Seed3. Incremental NonceSo the series of PD3 rolls will look like this:
HASH(Server Seed, Client Seed, Nonce)
HASH(ABDCE, VWXYZ, 01)
HASH(ABDCE, VWXYZ, 02)
HASH(ABDCE, VWXYZ, 03)
HASH(ABDCE, VWXYZ, 04)
To make sure they're not pulling your leg, a SHA256 hash of the server seed is given to you, and the server seed can be retroactively revealed as early as after the roll. With the example above, you can verify that the system is pre-deterministic and cannot cheat.
