since they know the secret list ahead of time.
You are wrong again! It is impossible for the SatoshiDice to know a Transaction ID ahead of time.
Secret list! List! Not the transaction ID.
I swear it's like people keep repeating what others said instead of thinking for themselves.
This is troubling. I'm not much of a gambler, and haven't ever played SatoshiDice, but someone bringing a casino to the Bitcoin community is really not doing their homework to not understand how SatoshiDice's hashing works and why knowing the secret list ahead of time isn't a problem if it's being hashed with the transaction ID. The algorithm is too simple for someone willing to build a casino website to not understand, and the overconfident attitude is highly misplaced. Sorry, but I must apply my stamp of disapproval to this one.
Just to make it clear, I have no interest in anything gambling-related whatsoever.
Just to make things clear, I am just an administrator, not the owner or the support team or the programmers. I think you tend to get them mixed. If knowing the list ahead of time wouldn't be a problem it would be public wouldn't it?
