I was watching an old video of the Chernobyl disaster. The old film footage actually picked up radiation on the film. Like any other subatomic particle, it randomly bonces around in the footage.

That's super interesting! I was chatting with someone on Twitter that built a homemade radiation based TRNG. The one I built used an accelerometer which was quite fun, as well as the diceware tool. There's so many possible sources for seed data.

I'm not super into the speculative side of cryptocurrency. I save some and use some just like normal money.
