Why is it so difficult to create randomness? Input from microphone or even variations in electricity input should be more than enough, no? Why is it such a huge struggle, I don't understand, especially in machines that depend on the randomness.
- tomjen3 10y agoThose would be random, but not necessarily uniformly random (an input from a mic in a casino is going to register very loud noises often).
- gspetr 10y agoEven so, how would one go about defeating such RNG?
- triangleman 10y agoOh I get it! If you can't prove that it's predictably random then you can't prove the outcome (house advantage) and then the casino won't buy the machine. Am I right?
- deelowe 10y agoThere are several hardware RNG solutions available now that are truly random (based on physical phenomenon). But, these are older machines and maybe before security was taken so seriously.
