Nice to see !ALIVE and dCrop supported now.

I have a friend asking me what this hashscore game is, and I'll tell you what I told her. You can tell me if I'm close or way off. :)

Basically it is a trading market where you pay with one token and get another token, but the amount you'll get is random, which is the "game" part of it.

Am I close?

Then she asked, why not just trade on hive-engine for the token you want? And I said I think you might get a better "price" in this game if you're lucky. Then she asked if there was some published info on what the probabilities were, as to how often one would do better in the game than on hive-engine, but I had no answer for that.

Anyway, I like the game and own lots of HASHSCORE on another account, currently number 5 on the richlist. https://he.dtools.dev/richlist/HASHSCORE

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy 2026!!!

cool I read it and i will reply.. you are almost spot on! let me explain...

> Basically it is a trading market where you pay with one token and get another token, but the amount you'll get is random, which is the "game" part of it.

Am I close?

Yes you are close! the token you get from the main game is HASHSCORE. and when you spend ( what ever token you want to play ) the game takes that TX Hash that looks like this:

[IMAGE: https://hashscore.fun/images/hashsample.png]

and puts it through a simple algorithm, with this key:

[IMAGE: https://images.hive.blog/DQmaeAa7fZox4HVHo1uP6rYZNsou7CtzmysUMWJLdatRhkj/hashscorekey.png]

then based on the total from that ( it also adds a random string to the end, changed every minute ) you get a "HASH SCORE" and based on that score if it matches or above / below how and low:

you get rewarded based off of the payout key for the token you used:

Anyway I hope this helps to make it clear :) I hope i did not make it worse!! lol

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy 2026!!! As well to you!

Most excellent explanation, thanks!

Another question!

I'm trying to find the expected value (average) Hash Score based on my understanding of how it is calculated.

The TX hash seems to be 40 hexadecimal characters. So the average of that is

40 hexadecimal digits * digit average value of 7.5 = 300

But then I see a secret of
LuXrTeVVcldo5XmP
in one of my game wins -- at https://hivehub.dev/tx/3ecbae0f3182bfb6c3b9cd4e44e2cf5dc725746d

These are not hex digits, but seems to be 16 lower case and upper case and digits, so
26 + 26 + 10 = 62 different values for each digit with an average value of 31
then 16 * 31 = 496

Then 300 + 496 = 796.

But I don't think this is correct because you show the average hash score over the last 100 transactions as is 483 which is a lot lower than my calculated average of 796.

Of course any particular 100 scores averaged will be somewhat different from the absolute average, and I could probably figure the probability of 100 numbers taken from a random number between 0 and (2*796) averaging out to 483, but I think it's going to be a very low probability, so I think one or more of my assumptions here is in error!

I guess my question is, where did I go wrong above, and/or is the code for the game open source or not. If it is, I can just go look at it and see how it all works. :)

And just because I am asking a question certainly does not mean you have to answer! Maybe this is proprietary info, which is fine. Maybe it is best to just play the game and not be concerned about the details. So feel free to ignore this comment if you choose, I'm good with that. :)

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy 2026!

It takes the hash of the play:
$txhash = "dfbb86ee2c62780867cb3cd5bfc556613cf4f52c";
Then it takes the secret for that minute:
$secret = "LuXrTeVVcldo5XmP";

Then it makes a new hash using:
$salted_hash = hash('sha256', $txhash . $secret);

so $salted_hash ends up being
cc4cd8939f53f438002f756102774768cfabff78588cfe34b4561a940794fab9

and that is the string that your score is added up from: 489

so it ends up being a 64 char string making your score :)

Thanks for taking the time to read my ridiculously long comment, and for the most excellent reply! :)

64 hex digits averages to 64 * 7.5 = 480 and now it all makes sense. I appreciate you!

You are welcome, I should have explained that in my first reply but I simply said its added with a random string to shorten up my reply some. Im sorry and happy to explain it!!

!PIZZA !BBH (I need to stake more !ALIVE i think 🤔

Also to be clear the average on the side of the website is the total score average of the last 100 transactions. And that's the average you want to match with you total score to win the "Average" payout multiplier

That seems a nice way for a Hive user to play with #HiveEngine tokens that they don't need or want !INDEED. 😎 !LOLZ
