Like you I am no expert. What I mean is you can construct a challenge that is provably very hard, such as a hash input that produces
zeros (translates to near infinite compute power in terms of mining, or some mathematical or quantum computing breakthrough that renders modern cryptography useless then this Ethereum thing is the least of your worries).

- rrobukef 3y agoThey don't need one number, they need two (or more) that are related in such a way they have cryptographic properties. And the math says to derive them from a seed. However the seed must be secret because it's a back-door. Luckily everybody can generate their own seed and their contributions can be combined without knowing the seeds. All zeros won't work because they don't have the properties.
