SatoshiMines - Source of entropy is bad, the house can easily bruteforce the hash to make you win/lose. Including "random" non-preselected strings in the hash render the whole process insecure.

Just show me only one sha256 or one sha1 collision...

- The addition of a "random" string at the end of the mine positions seems necessary, otherwise you'd just need to hash the few millions possible result combination (that's not that much), considering there's no timing in the game, you'd be able to search for the corresponding hash in a rainbow table, and use it to win.

Having played quite a lot this game, I also have the feeling it might be rigged, but I don't see how. The only thing I can think of, if that it bases the position of the next mines on your previous moves, rather than a true random game. But that would mean the game is still "fair" in a certain way.

I'm sure they do to get better odds for themself. I read somewhere in this forum about a guessing javascript that exists on satoshimines but the real code for the guess will for sure be on the server side. But looking at how one played in the past isn't scaming for me. Not even cheating. It's like Poker bots, or even trading bots, if you know how they work you can get everything out of them.

Satoshimines isn't a scam for me but please exactly calculate the odds before you play. If you do play with real BTC afterward you didn't calculate them correctly.
