Overview

Technology that makes re-draws impossible to hide

The filed technology detects when a draw is re-run under identical conditions, assigns it a round number, and includes that round number in the sealed value created at the moment the draw starts — so no one, Unipicker included, can alter it afterward. The record is published.

The key idea — it doesn't block "redrawing until you like the result." It makes that behavior impossible to hide, because every re-run leaves a public record.
Background

An extension of Unipicker's fair-draw philosophy

Unipicker has built its fair-draw technology on sealing (locking draw data with a hash), public randomness (using randomness like DRAND and NIST that nobody can know in advance), and verified draws (reproducing the result from the original data and seed). This patent filing adds one more step: recording and publishing the fact that a draw was repeated at all.

SealingThe moment a draw starts, entrant and settings data are locked with a hash, making later changes impossible.
Public randomnessThe draw seed comes from an external public randomness source, so the organizer can't know or choose the result in advance.
Verified drawsThe original draw data and seed reproduce the result exactly, so tampering can be checked.
Round sealing (this filing)Repeated draws under identical conditions are detected, and the round number goes into the sealed value and is published.
Unipicker will keep advancing the fair-draw technology it has built on sealing, public randomness, and verified draws.
