Lol.  No way you're going to steal my coins based on an "only" pseudo random key.
Anyway, not trying to rain on the parade here,  carry on!   Grin

I think you miss the point.  If a PRNG is secure then you have no problems.  Are you SURE your PRNG implementation is secure?  Coins have be stolen in the past due to flawed PRNG implementations.  Now it is unknown if it was just a flaw or an intentional weakness (put there by 3 letter agencies which know they can break unbreakable ciphers when they rely on weak random numbers).  Still it doesn't matter the coins were stolen just the same.

This isn't a commercial project just something I want to do as a hobby and I will make the hardware and software open source.  Hopefully it leads to other open and transparent designs.


Sure... All I was saying is that making a PROVABLY unflawed rng isn't going to
substantially help customer acquisition for reasons I won't bore you with...
Just making a business comment, hope you don't mind!
