I find it fascinating how Dabs is able to write so much and at the same time say so little. Cheesy

I have magic seeds? I think I know one reason why. I was born in the year of the Golden Dragon. Now, I'm not Chinese, but my Chinese friends say that is good luck. Also, my first born son was born last year, and that was the year of the Black Water Dragon. So I've got two dragons in my family.

We will carry the magic seeds far and wide, to profit all the way up to the sky, and as far as you can see on the horizon.

Is it possible to brute-force the secret server seed, given the client seed + past lucky numbers?

Theoretically possible? Yes. Applicable in practice? No. There are too many calculations that need to be made.

The answer involves the age of the universe. Even if you had every atom in the Sun working as a computer, it will still take the age of the universe (about 4 billion years) to get to less than a small percentage of the server seed key space. You're better off just applying some pixie dust and chanting to the Goddess of Dice for good fortune. That works better and produces less head aches.

If I have bankroll of 0.512 btc and I martingale with min bet 0.001 with the only purpose of doubling that 0.512:

Chance to double: 45.315736365781955072%
Chance to lose all: 54.684263634218044928%

Correct?

I didn't quite answer this in the chat, but to double 0.512 means you will take it to 1.024. Which means you have to win at least 512 times. Since you will lose half the time on 50%, you need to play approximately twice as many rolls. However, with a bank roll of only 512, you can only lose 9 consecutive times in a row, which happens once every 512 rolls.

Now, if you do it Dabs style playing at 87.7779%, you start betting at 0.00000849, but due to the dust delaying tactics, it's going to take you at least a couple of weeks to do the half million rolls required. You can speed it up a bit, by recomputing from your balance at key points in time, to effectively compound your profits.

If you don't have the time, or patience, or fortitude, or perseverance, or stubbornness to do that, you can send your coins to me and I'll double it for you in about 2 weeks. (This is the DIGS or Dabs Investment Gambling Security.) The advantage I hold, aside from the magic seeds, are that my initial bets no longer get any delays for being above the dust levels.

However, due to internet latency, I still bet only about 2 rolls per second; and I'm not online the whole day, just when I'm at home or at the office.

Hope you find it interesting - post any questions about it that you might have.

I have a question. Can you put those equations into a formula I can easily paste into a spreadsheet? (like excel, or open office). I'm an admitted math fail, and those formulas that require pictures to show, have too many greek letters (or none?)

Thanks.
