I'll just mention this information quoted from the site we're talking about:

There's no explicit mention of anything done in addition to the above - though we can't rule it out without asking the site creator for comment.

Actually, Typoz, there's another, simpler way to introduce some dynamic randomization into code for online psi tests. It is to generate a new seed number each time a decision button is clicked. A Web server's time stamp can be used as the extraneous random input to generate the new seed number. That's how Dean Radin's GotPsi tests are randomized, as I learned recently. It wouldn't surprise me to learn Michael Daniels uses the same method for his tests.
