They note they're actually reshuffling, not just cutting the deck, but even then there are only 2^32 possible seeds and thus 2^32 possible reshuffles. What's stopping them from pregenerating server seeds that are biased in their favor? Maybe using MT makes that even easier.
- bigiain 13y agoI don't think that works - they have to tell me their server_seed before I tell them my client_seed. That makes the PRNG seed dependent on the SHA256 hash of something out of their control.
- sirclueless 13y agoI think tlrobinson means seed decks, not server_seeds as used in the generation of the MT seed.
