I don't get it. That wasn't hard. What do I do with the key now that I have it?

Nothing much, since quantum supremacy will drive all coins to zero, but it is a biohazard.

Email it to me and I'll safely dispose of it for you at a responsible E-waste site.

Why wouldn't the host just send themselves the key first and then have everyone pull slot machine for them. If you do win it, you are not seeing a penny if you roll from that site.

Generally agree that most services like this would at a minimum log a matching key w/ alert. I'm not going to audit the code but maybe OP has good intentions.

A better project would be to take the exact key generation function at the time Satoshi started it and mine possible PRNG parameters.
