Earlier quoted context omitted.

https://github.com/EtherBots/EtherBots/blob/master/CratePreS... That certainly looks to me like the "random" reward is just based on the previous block's hash.

More issues: - Rarities of each part is not encoded in the contract (It just depends on how the application logic decides to decode the uint). They could swap Shadow parts with Gold and the contract doesn't do anything to prevent that > // If 23 (or a multiple of it) is generated, a lamborghini will be awarded Since this is a comment, if 23 is generated, a unit will be generated, which they _promise_ will be a lambor…

It's worse than that. They could just throw away all the sales from this contract, since it's not connected to anything.

They also failed to verify source code for the contract: https://etherscan.io/address/0x3c7767011C443EfeF2187cf1F2a4c..., and the source code on GitHub is missing a file ("Ownable.sol"), making it difficult for anyone else to verify what source code is actually running.

I suppose the lack of verified source code doesn't matter, given my first point. People who are buying are placing a lot of trust in the "Fuel Bros Innovation Team."

I felt like gambling today so I wasted a lot of money in this project and in ethercraft.

I doubt they will pay off. If anything IF they're going to succeed the buy-in has to drastically be lowered. But what the heck. As I said. Felt like gambling away my money today.

If you guys really care about non-scheme projects, look into lockchain. They're a booking website with a blockchain technology implementation. Yes I do have an interest in the project. Less than I gambled away today though. It's worth a look. I pormise.
