 What is needed is for the dealer node to track the entropy tx that was already broadcast into the mempool with its entropy revealed. Then before processing a dicebet, it is checked against the already revealed list. If it is found, the dicebet is refunded with proof that a different dicebet was already used to reveal the entropy
