We just released a flipping coin game for bitcoins [our twist: with chained flips] http://www.mangofuzz.com/ and we are using the following method to simulate the 50&-50% chance of tossing a coin.

!!!!We just released a flipping coin game for bitcoins [our twist: with chained flips] http://www.mangofuzz.com/ and we are using the following method to simulate the 50&-50% chance of tossing a coin.
In C++ we :
- seed it with the current time stamp
- get a number between 0 and 1 like this: rand()/((double)RAND_MAX + 1
If such number is less than 0.5, the user wins.
We will use R instead of C in the next incarnation.
