benkay: haskell invaded my computer
BingoBoingo: That's a good question. I actually don't know if there are any good tools for it.
BingoBoingo: I've look at Mac OS 6-7.5.1 dev tools, but... That route tends to lead to shitty implementations of pascal or resedit and 68k assembly
BingoBoingo: Any interesting C programming generally is going to mean moving from mac os to A/UX which... means finding a suitable Mac (68030 based generally) and a hard drive of sufficent capacity
BingoBoingo: I've never really done much with C though, haven't done anything with C on an ancient Mac. Problems that tend to push me to finally string together some code tend to be further up the stack.
BingoBoingo: One dilema I ponder on sometimes is whether the beauty of the ancient macs was due to the talent of the developers, or due to the beauty of 68k assembly.

BingoBoingo: Namworld: Might as well, you have a vested interest. If not you, who?
punkman: is PrimeDice the biggest dice now?
pankkake: lol, people are betting on a non provably fair site?!
Namworld: because you can still change the client seed before each bet, making it provably fair. The problem is if you don't, you can be cheated and it's impossible to get caught.
Namworld: A true provably fair system doesn't need EVERYONE to check and doesn't allow any scenario where a cheated bet is impossible to notice.
Namworld: The thing is, they give a new server seed for each bet. Guess what they can do if you don't change your client seed before each bet?
pankkake: oh, so at least it isn't completely obscure
Namworld: There are ways to do it that you can just keep betting and even if the site cheated even only 1 out of 100 bets, there needs only a few people to track a few hundred bets to start discovering unfairness.
Namworld: Like provide new server seed only when asked for and reveal old one. Then change client seed.
Namworld: Like JD does. Then you can spam bet with the sticky server seed. No problem, no cheating.
punkman: was just trying PrimeDice, this happened twice already: I bet, balance updates, bet doesn't show in My Bets list
Namworld: or even better, like Coinroll, use predisclosed hash of daily secret for everyone. Not alterable. Then client seed is BTC deposit tx ID, so we don't provide a default seed for the client.
Namworld: Only way to cheat would be altering bet parameters after the fact to keep matching seeds and rolls, which is completly noticable if even a few users tracks their bets.
Namworld: I'm saying PrimeDice implementation is poor. They could be cheating right now, it would be impossible to notice, even if everyone verified and tracked all their bets.
punkman: the interface is horrible too
Namworld: That's left to opinion. Isn't bad as far as I care.
Namworld: It's more the implementation of their provably fair system.

assbot: Xfce: Choice Desktop environment for new Linux Users - Slashdot
Namworld: Yeah, as I said, a properly done provably fair system doesn't prevent cheating/stealing. It just makes it impossible to do without the possibility of getting caught.
BingoBoingo: Provably fair ought to be the bare minimum. It is a shame people consider themselvesserious without it.
BingoBoingo: Provably fair should be so far below the minimum.
assbot: Wanna know the pwd for the Brasil world cup security center WiFi nw? It's on the whiteboard ;-) /hashtag/fail?src=hash
http://t.co/XD6ujqk5nq Namworld: Technically I think there's many smaller places that gives a new server seed before each bet... but that's a poor system.
BingoBoingo: Well, "provably fair" offers some room to choose particulars, but... Can have problems
Namworld: Yes, you can always alter betting parameters
Namworld: "Only way to cheat would be altering bet parameters after the fact to keep matching seeds and rolls, which is completly noticable if even a few users tracks their bets."
Namworld: But you can get caught for that.
Namworld: The way PrimeDice does it, they could cheat without any possibility of getting caught.
Namworld: With all parameters/seeds/rolls always matching and not changing, yet obtaining a house edge that is not 1%
Namworld: At least for players that don't change their client seed before each roll, which is going to be the majority of players.
Namworld: This is poor because the system needs to be so that a minority checking bets will catch the cheating for everyone.
Namworld: Provably fair should imply that any cheating possible under any scenario is possible to catch.
Apocalyptic: even in JD's case cheating by dooglus is impossible to catch
Namworld: Oh, I mean for players. That's an issue but only for investors.
Namworld: But there's not much way around it.
Namworld: I'm talking strictly users side.
Namworld: In that case it's possible to have a system where any sort of cheating will be possible to catch.
Mats_cd03: doubtful this is a solvable problem
Namworld: the JD one for investors or the all cheating is possible to catch?
BingoBoingo: The thing about "provably fair" is that like all other transactions it is an offer from one party to another.
BingoBoingo: One party is always by their nature going to be situated better to fuck the person across the table.
pankkake: this has been discussed some time ago; one solution can be to use future block hashes as part of the server seed, however it delays the result
BingoBoingo: "Provably fair" is a tool to mitigate the risk.
Mats_cd03: all cheating. what prevents a server side tweak for 1.1% being switched on and off irregularly to evade persistent monitoring for cheating in your scenario?
Mats_cd03: operator could claim, 'probability lol' when evaluating statistical claims by suspicious users
Namworld: Because then rolls wouldn't match?
Namworld: You can't change to 1.1% without changed the target number/giving the wrong number for the roll.
Mats_cd03: maybe I've misunderstood something here
BingoBoingo: Namworld: Well, a casino operator could "take a gamble" by offering a player a result to the player's detriment that is not provably fair

Namworld: Yes, but then even if only a small portion checks their bets, it would get caught. Even if a site did it only 1% of the time, it would quickly be discovered.
Namworld: And it would barely provide any advantage. Unless you only do it for very large bets, but those are highly likely to be checked.
Namworld: It's possible to cheat, but it's noticable. Even if not everyone checks.
Namworld: With PrimeDice, if you don't change your client seed before each roll, you could verify every parameter after the bet, see if anything was changed or if seeds match with the roll. It will check out fine, even if PrimeDice cheats.
Namworld: Because they'd be cheating before the rolls with proper seeds provided. Which means they wouldn't need to alter bet parameters after the fact or provide a roll number that doesn't match the seeds.
Namworld: I'll admit a 100% flawless system is probably not possible... but the PrimeDice implementation is far from even being half-right.
BingoBoingo: Hmmm... -assets doesn't seem as capable of spamming 3rd party sites like it was earlier this year.
BingoBoingo: Right, Primedice's implementations suck in that it counts on implementator honesty too heavily
Namworld: It basically doesn't provide any verifiable results unless you change client seed manually before each bet. Which is incredibly poor practice. No user will want to manually change their secret before each bet and type a new random string.

assbot: Is PrimeDice really (provably)fair? Well, it isn't.
pankkake: I have a hard time rembemering faces
Namworld: He says wouldn't CR and JD be able to cheat by altering provided server seed, explaining exactly what PrimeDice does but CR and JD doesn't...
BingoBoingo: Essentially all provably fair schemes come down to an evaluation of the implementor's reliability.
Apocalyptic: "the point I want to make is his use of the phrase "powerful encryption". There is no such thing. There's only two types of encryption, that which works and that which doesn't" // a fact that still eludes some people
Namworld: it has nothing to do with implementor's reliability and it has all to do with hard maths and frequency of verification on the user's part.
Namworld: The scheme provided itself is the reliability of the site. It either is poor or is strong. Regardless if the owner is untrustworthy or trustworthy.
BingoBoingo: Namworld: You pick an implementation based on the choices the person who implemented it made. If you really want to roll dice you pick the most "fair" system.
Namworld: The owner being trustworthy only impacts risk of fleeing with users' balance.
BingoBoingo: Otherwiase you write off the implementor as a snake BECAUSE they chose poorly
BingoBoingo: The right choice should only have to be Tradefartress vs. Dooglus. Not Dooglus vs. politically correct mathzors
BingoBoingo: Scammers rarely compete with hard targets though when they can spz. an advantage.

pankkake: Quoting numerous recent red head studies published in The Lancet, the ASA did confirm that red heads do in fact have souls, the carpet matches 90% of the time, most red heads hate when ‘red headed slut’ shots are ordered for them, and yes they truly are amazing in bed.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well... in most of the US maintaining water delivery infrastructure is a low priority... Lead pipes are a menace not unlike aluminium mains wiring
BingoBoingo: It isn't unheard of for athletes to take less money, but it always happens when the contract has expired or when they want to negotiate for more years at less money per year.
mike_c: well, salary isn't their total income. they can make more in aggregate by being on a winning team (endorsements, etc.)
BingoBoingo: Never though for the cause of "I want less to be the shiniest specialest person on the team"

jurov: but the fact that nobody knows where the pipes are at all
jurov: in NYC large part of water is not even paid for because of this
mircea_popescu: mike_c they're going to be on a winning team by moving to one that can pay,

assbot: Bitcoin miner startup HashFast could be forced to liquidate | Ars Technica
jurov: The involuntary bankruptcy filing came days after HashFast’s CEO told Ars that his company was “as poor as church mice.” Prior to that, the company fired half of its staff and declared “we’re not scammers.”
cedivad: they basically decided to destroy the company in December when they saw that they would have had huge lawsuits against them due to their lies
cedivad: so they sinked the ship and got everything out via alternative means, imho
cedivad: what they spent 20M on... Good question, the filings are not answering to that for now
jurov: linked article mentions parnership with some PepperMining anon company, maybe that was it
cedivad: nah, that was the tip of the iceberg. And ars is good, but not good enought. it's difficult for us to understand what is really going on, a jurnalist cannot do miracles
