It is popular among mathematicians that generating a true random number is very close to impossible with our current technology of deterministic devices. In simpler terms, it means that "If you give a Computer, and it's (Pseudo) Random Number Generator, the same starting and finishing conditions, it will produce the same number over and over again". For the fun of it, I think our Nigerian Mathematicians aren't gunning for some recognition here.. I mean... PHCN... (^_^).. Rather than seeding your PRNG with some other random seed, you can seed it with the exact timepoint which PHCN cuts and restores Electricity ... (^_^) Aggregating and Modeling PHCN's behavior (throughout Nigeria), you'll get a truly nondeterministic system... ..I think . . ...   2 Likes |

LMAO Nice one But I don't think it is non deterministic, I beleive non determinism means multiple possible transitions/outputs on a particular input. It doesn't make it random. |

I don't understand. What has PHCN got to do with PRNG? am I missing something here? |

[center][/center] Javanian:True. Computers are fairly deterministic. My premise for the post was that, aggregating PHCN power supply state at any point in time, t in every location, L will likely result in values with some degree of stochastic characteristics; ....(I am a Maths enthusiast , but not a crypto expert  )Its not a serious topic; but you can get multiple outputs with in stateless system. danvery2k6:Don't mind me ohh.... I thought o being a bit silly.... |
