> And 512 bits is more than plenty. Famous last words.

  "A typical supernova releases something like 1051 ergs. (About a hundred times as much energy would be released in the form of neutrinos, but let them go for now.) If all of this energy could be channeled into a single orgy of computation, a 219-bit counter could be cycled through all of its states." You're not getting through 512 bits of entropy unless your cryptographic methods are severely broken, so broken that having more bits would not meaningfully help.
