So my last drawing went off and Lightlord won all the prizes. However, I am thinking for the next drawing offering it to cost .01 BTC each ticket, now here is my problem. I am not going to use Just-dice's rolling to decide the winners, this takes way too much time and honestly no one wants to count what # ticket they are and what numbers they have for the roll.
I need a simple way of randoming drawing a number 1-500 or 1-1000 or whatever I need. I was thinking I have a private seed or hash or whatever and I ask someone else extremely trusted to hold their own private seed or something, then when the drawing filled we "combine" them and input the user seeds "1" "2" "3" and so on for prize # that is being drawn for.
So in summary: A secret seed held by me Another seed held by another player And the client / public seed being the number of the prize being drawn (my drawing would prob have 10 winners, so it would be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 up to 10) for the 10 draws. If a ticket would be drawn a second time I would draw again by adding a zero or something.
Can someone explain to me how to do this?
I have the idea and I know coinroll.it is doing something similar with their 100 BTC giveaway, but I don't understand how you add hashes or any of that or compute what the drawn number would be using the hashes.
Please comment if you can explain or help, thanks!
