Does it calculate the rng one per crystal, not at all (average of 3.5 resulting in 35 or 175 depending on stack) or once per stack (the least favorable option, naturally)? (not at home to check)
Based on this screenshot posted on Reddit, it seems like the convertion is calculated separately:

Thank goodness, now let's work on lockboxes now..
50 Converted into 102, 203, 139, 136, 169, 196, 196, 130....
Yeah RNGesus plays with my heart here. 104 prothean for 50 anemos. Lmao
Exchanging the items one at a time still gives way more crystals overall due to the way the rng is working on trading in 10 or 50.
The difference is huge
I mean, I know that with RNG you will see lots of outcomes that seem improbable given enough trials. The thing that seems crazy to me is if the probability of a 2,3,4, and 5 are all even, i.e. 1/4 for each one, then the odds of seeing a 102 total with 50 rolls is about 1 in 10 ^ 27, or one time out of every billion billion billion 50 roll trials. My math might be wrong of course, I never was that good at statistics and probabilites. Of course if the odds aren't even then none of this applies...
Its probably just taking a random number from 100 to 250 for 50.
Close enough. :) Here's a nice tool to calculate the probability of every possible outcome: http://anydice.com/program/f62a It is pretty unlikely, but so are a lot of outcomes. It's very slanted towards the middle.
This is also assuming they are doing 50 rolls. If they're doing a single roll and just multiplying by 50, the odds of a 102 are equal to that of any other outcome.
I'm with Ariane, they're probably taking the min possible value (2 * num of crystals) and max possible value (5 * num of crystals) and then random within that range. They're not wrong, per-se, and my napkin math over lunch did show it should still average to around 3.5 average but it stings a lot more to see a result that's basically 50 2 rolls in a row
