See the jobs How the vault works

Dry Creek, 1889. The railroad came through and brought the money with it: a stagecoach every morning, a bank with a lazy lock, the mail train, and once a month the federal gold train. Every job posts its odds before you ride. Three of every hundred coins staked burn on the spot, win or lose. The rest pays at exactly those odds, out of a vault that only trading fees can fill.

The Jobs

Four targets on the board tonight. Every one posts its odds before you ride, and every one has the same expected value: minus three percent, which is exactly what burns.

Pick your risk, not your edge

The Gang

Card sharps, safecrackers, a crooked sheriff and at least one ghost. 22 of 777 drawn so far, every one a full render.

The Vault

The vault holds the coin that pays winners. Trading fees fill it and nothing else does. It takes no cut of any ride, and it can never be emptied by one.

Fair Play

We commit to the outcome before you choose, and hand you the seed afterwards. If the numbers don't add up, you'll know before we do.

Don't trust us. Check.
  1. We commit

    Ask for the odds and the server draws a 72-character seed, locks it away, and shows you sha256(seed) plus a nonce. The outcome is fixed from here.

  2. You choose

    Job and stake are yours. Nothing you pick can move the seed, and we can't swap it without the hash changing.

  3. We reveal

    The roll is the first 8 hex of sha256(seed:wallet:job:nonce) as a number, mod 10000, ÷ 100. Under the odds wins.

  4. You check

    Paste it below. The seed hashes to the commitment you saw, and the roll comes out the same. Or we lied.

Wanted

Ranked by balance. Your wanted level is your current win streak, five stars at most, and it resets the first time a job goes wrong.
