I have a question.

When I use the verifier on doge-dice are the results generated after pasting the data, ie.

Are these results supposed to match my last same roll numbers? Or are they supposed to be different?

If not how do I verify. And If so why are all my roll numbers not matching up?

The results are supposed to match up, yes.

Probably the reason they don't is that you're using the wrong roll generation algorithm.

On Just-Dice we used to use a simple algorithm which only used the player's "nonce" value once per roll calculation. Some investors complained that maybe that wasn't good enough (nakowa had just won a lot and investors were losing confidence) so I gave in to pressure and announced that from bet 145,000,000 we would be using a more complex algorithm to generate rolls. (We were on bet 144 million or so at the time).

When I made Doge-Dice.com, I copied the Just-Dice code, so that too uses the simple algorithm up to bet 145M, and the other one afterwards. The two algorithms are both described on the 'Fair?' tab, as is the fact that it switches at bet 145M.

So for doge-dice, which has seen less than 145M bets so far, you need to use the old algorithm. The verifier was designed with Just-Dice in mind, after the change, but if you read the small grey writing, you'll see that you can put the bet ID into the 2nd box, and if it's less than 145M, it will use the old algorithm.

I just tested it out on my most recent Doge-Dice rolls. First pull up details on a bet:

Copy the values into the verifier. Make sure you put a number less that 145M into the betid field. It doesn't matter what number you use. I put '1':

Compare with your actual rolls. The numbers should be identical:

Thanks for your help, it seems to be working now, appreciate it!
