Been looking at various provably fair implementations on sites here and came across something weird. Basically all sites have 256 char server seeds, but stake uses a much shorter one. Can anyone more knowledgeable comment on why the server seed on stake is shorter than any other site? Isnt this a security risk?

Well, theoretically this should not necessarily be an issue, but its a somewhat weird decision not to err on the side of caution. I would agree that 128 byte seeds (=256 hexdec chars) should be the minimum.

Don't shorter seeds necessarily imply worse security? I know primedice already got hacked for millions. For now I am keeping my gambling money on stake (<1btc), but things like this concern me.

So far it has been so good with the current seeds and even if there is hacking attempt. I believe they will directly take a short break to increase the security. As for now I believe everything will be fine so rest assure. And for primedice, I believe they only got one time hacking and sure it costs them a loy but after that I also never heard any attempt that succeed piercing their security as well

Btw if you are having below 1 btc on the gambling wallet then you should not be afraid to lose them either cause in gambling you will also have this chance to lose as well
