If you roll a regular coin without any quantum effects, every version of you will either see only heads, or only tails. You need quantum in order to make the choice nondeterministic.

I keep getting "500 Internal Server Error" when trying to login. It's not logging in. I get this error after entering the "IBM verify code" which I receive in an email.

I had this issue with IBM SSO many times. You may have to wait 24-48 hours before it’s resolved for your acct.

How do I know they won't just give me a cached output from someone else's identical job, or from a simulator? I don't really trust IBM to not mess it up.
