Abstract

When developing smart-contracts and searching other contract-supporting blockchains I found it useful to have an integrated source of entropy. Entropy source is a real headache for every developer that need to generate a random number and this situation is frequent enough to implement a solution on protocol level.
I don't yet have a ready solution of this problem and I want to get more feedback now.

I'm now looking at AEternity that is already preparing to implement it: https://blockchain.aeternity.com/%C3%A6ternity-blockchain-whitepaper.pdf
