What about multiple state adversaries? It would be hard as hell but it could be done.
I'd still opt for an astronomical source. If God wants to backdoor our crypto we're SOL, but other than that it would be pretty solid. I also don't get what's wrong with nothing up my sleeve constants. Hashing the word "YOLO" is mathematically unlikely to be a rigged constant to almost "probability of falling through the floor due to random quantum fluctuations" degrees.

Cryptography is usually made solid enough so that there are easier ways to break the system. http://cryptoexperts.github.io/million-dollar-curve/#lotteries http://cryptoexperts.github.io/million-dollar-curve/#lotteri... > what's wrong with nothing up my sleeve constants It's not unpredictable. There are a million constants you could choose from if you wanted to make a backdoor. I think the badass paper is about that.
