    1. Decide on a random N and what tails (even) and heads (uneven) mean.

    2. Each party generates a random number

    3. Combine the numbers with a conmutative operation of some sort, the harder the operation the better.

    4. Take the hash N times. (Can be done independently by each participant)

    (4.5) optional: for extra robustness, do some hard-to-calculate transformations to the result of 4. (Can be done independently by each party)

    1. The final result is either uneven or even === coin toss. (0 will be treathed as even*.*)

    This is not infalibe, one party could get all the numbers a precalculate a answer to get a specific result but they will need to randomly try numbers. adding some timing constrains, using big numbers and hard operations would make that sort of attack not really practicable.

    Nice question, had fun thinking about it!


  • Either you run the RP in the VPS and point to the ips on your server or you run it on the server and access it like you are accessing Jellyfin.

    Easiest option is a container with Nginx proxy manager (imo) with NPM you can get free let’s encrypt certs, but be aware, in case you want automated certificates, NPM will need to run on the machine pointed to by the DNS (in your case, your VPS I guess)
