Introducing the Bet Archive!

Our Forum's Admin Dan posted the following notice:

As many of you have noticed, recently we made changes to our database to help reduce server load. The new protocol is that any bets older than a month are now moved to the archive. Your bet archive can be downloaded on Stake Casino via Account Settings > Bet Archive.

This is a neat feature, however I don't really think you need to provide a bet archive any older than 1 month.

Most people either

1) Never verify their bets

2) Verify their bets at the end of their session or maybe the next day.

It would seem really odd for someone to verify their bets that they placed 6 months ago.

There are few cases were the bet probably fair verifier doesn't work.. one time one of the probably fair verifier for one game didn't work for almost or more than a month.. in cases like this plyers won't be able to verify those bets. and I think that's the reason they made a bet archive.. but unfortunately.. the bets on the bet archive can't be even verified as probably fair... its useless if you're trying to verify probably fair..

You shouldn't have to rely on a 3rd party provably fair verification website to test your bets. The method that PD/Stake uses for their provably fair calculations are posted on their website. You just go to Settings -> Verify and there is a "How to Verify" section which is more or less the source code on the provably fair calculation.

Even if you are not good at programming you can just do a few bets by hand if you want to quickly confirm you are not being cheated. The way that provably fair works with the hashed seeds is basically very difficult to cheat, since the results are more or less deteremined ahead of time providing the client/server seed stay the same.
