Nice digging up there NLNico  Grin


RHavar already gave a solution for in back in July 2015: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1065847.msg12018096#msg12018096 The easiest solution is just calling that "new clientseed" function after each bet, takes literally 1 minute to implement.

Yeah, although I think step b) and c) are also very important. It's good for BB, as they can be sure their customers aren't getting cheated, and it's good for MP because it removes the ability for them to cheat so there's no doubt in anyone's mind. And I doubt it'd take more than 10 minutes, so it's pretty good bang-for-buck. One of the features I was planning on adding on MP but never got around to, was a "cheating" mode, where the server would attempt to cheat (e.g. give results that were not provably fair, try predict, use "bet stalling" ) and then I could test sites with server-cheating-mode enabled, and if the server was able to cheat without the site giving a warning (e.g. alert("We got a bet result that wasn't provably fair?!")   ) the site wouldn't be "certified" as provably fair.
