I played Crash for some time now, but I can't honestly say that I know how it works. So I would like to ask the community if you could help me out here.

What is the deciding factor of the game?
Like I do understand that it can crash at any point, but what is the deciding factor for when it does? Is it random number generators that when the round starts decides on a value it will crash, or is it based on the range people have preselected as cash-out for that specific turn and makes a random number between those parameters?

I can't really find any information on what the deciding factor for when the game could crash so just want any info regarding this.

so as you said there is this random number generator,

it uses two different input to generate the random number that is used in the algorithm to generate crash result

first input -it's like server seed- is a HASH string that is decided when crash first released

 

second input -it's the client seed- is hash of the future bitcoin block so players know that it's not chosen by the house

 

first input (server seed) is updated when a new bitcoin block is mined (so when client seed is changed)

update uses the HASH string (current server seed) itself to hash itself so it's not random and based on the predetermined hash at the release of the game

They used a pretty cool method to come up with a list of 10 million crash points while proving Stake could not have influenced any of them.  First they chose a bitcoin block that wasn't mined yet and announced publicly that the hash of that block would be used to seed the result of the first game along with a non-public server seed.  Then they hashed that hash for the second game, and then repeated the process 10 million times.  

So you can take the hash of any crash game and hash it, and you've got the hash of the previous game.  With just one seed, you can go back and figure out the result of every single game that has been played since the seeding event (July 2019 I think), but because the hashing function is one way - it's impossible to go the other way.
