EXTRA SPEED:  .....


Punch your keyboard and take SHA256 of the results. It's way much better than using an online third party RNG.

I actually tried this... it worked great!   Thanks!

This is a decent RNG for small numbers, but not a lot of entropy for a whole key.  It has only as much as the variety of punches, so it is not so great for high value long term storage if the generation method is known.
