That does make it more difficult.

I think we reached the point of "good enough" long ago. The last big Bitcoin lottery, TAABL, just used a plain block hash, and no one complained about that.

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Thanks!
I've decided after all that work to go with your very first suggestion. Hash something to get a secret hash then release a hash of the secret hash. Then use two blocks after 00 and the reveal secret hash to make the final hash for numbers...Thanks.
