A week ago, I took a quarter out of my wallet and flipped it. This wasn't some random.random() garbage. This was a true coin flip.
You should have been there. It must have spun 1,000 times before it hit the ground, sealing our fate.
Now, you're probably thinking - are you planning on doing this over and over? You're the coin flip guy now, letting us plebs bet on it?
No. That's where you wrong. This is the last time I'm flipping a coin. You heard correctly: this is the ONLY time you can bet on the result of me flipping a coin - so think carefully. Are you sure you want to miss out?
I'm done using quarters after this. In fact, I've already thrown out all of my quarters in this week's trash.
How can we prove this?

Tomorrow, after the event is over, I will publish the result and secret string, and you'll be able to sha256("result-secret string") and verify the hash for yourself:
4349be1ba39869d64d60a375a88cb702540456040fce5cc830ec1eae4c75c376
This proves that the result is already determined and can't be modified by me.
You do have to trust that I'm not participating in the market, though. You have my word! It wouldn't be fun to bet on my own coin flip.
