I was trying to explain to OP that the 2^31 limit on the client seed was probably a result of the maximum value that could be stored in an integer in the language you were coding in rather than a deliberate attempt to cheat your players.
does anyone know if this was the case? if yes that would sound actually good for the BB dev lobos and all involved parties if I understand dooglus explanation it would have been just a code language limitation
So I assume they added that "automatic clientseed generation" after that (which is good) but unfortunately had this bug in it to not calculate in the full range (like RHavar mentions earlier in this topic.) TBH it is pretty silly to make the same mistake twice, but yeh mistakes happen I guess. Too bad I didn't really check that myself anymore by that time too (:
But anyway, is fixed now and since it would require basically both MP as BB to cheat (based on bet patterns), I don't think that's likely at all and probably just an oversight indeed.
finally the right people are entering this discussion at least for me (dooglus & NLNico)
lets see if I understood what you explained. are you saying that this happened before with BB and you found it out? I understood they fixed/corrected it in those times. and then it appeared again just out of the blue?
I am asking because you said it is pretty silly to make the same mistake twice. but how can that happen again after it was fixed? I am not a coder and will not be in this life
let me also emphasize again that I never thought that RH or new MP owners would use this to their advantage. yes they could but it would kill their business in a second imo they are not stupid and not thieves. so there is no reason to attack me again as always (not that I am afraid of any attacks)
we love BTC and the Provably Fair option (& casino) and want to learn and understand and if people have patience we will understand (not many out there)
thx to NLNico & dooglus for chiming in
