2. Well pi isn't random either, I mean those are the same digits in the same order until the end of time as well. I see what you're thinking, but... no, I doubt it. I mean anything's possible and I don't know everything obviously, but it isn't random to begin with, and I can't think of any way that you'd actually get randomness out of something so supremely ordered...Lotteries don't use pseudorandom number generators, they do stuff like use balls that bounce around -- that may or may not actually be predictable. I mean at the particle (quantum) level, yes, it appears to be the only true instance of randomness in all the universe. But when you add up all that randomness from the particles interacting together to be a huge object like a ping pong ball, not everything is possible, only certain movements. Actually what's really, really cool (well I think it is, lol) is that quantum mechanical formulas for large objects -- while immensely complex -- actually reduce to Newton's formulas of motion. For large objects, mind you. Brilliant man, that Newton :)Video games are predictable. But again, the range of output from a pseudorandom number generator is enormous. I mean like, I think the Mersenne Twister algorithm could produce 10 numbers a second for years & years & years before it actually wraps around and starts repeating them. And computers save their place, basically, so that they don't just start over. Or they just use the current number of nanoseconds to seed the algorithm instead of carrying it over. That's in practice pretty damn good, but it's still 100% predictable. I mean when I say it's "predictable," it would always happen the same exact way if events were the same, but you're not going to have any luck predicting it practically unless you watch the output for years until you eventually know exactly where you are in the string of output produced & can then start predicting stuff. That's just not practical, even if it is possible technically. They just look random to us, but really they are not actually random at all is the point.I don't know why people say computers are logical. I mean if you study computer engineering and logic gates and all that -- well they're even called "logic gates." But that doesn't make a computer logical, it just... no, I'm going to cut myself off there. I see it differently, that's all. I don't want to get too personal here though, I mean I admit to a lot of stuff on these boards I don't want tied to me in person, ya know.3. No, not really, because there's also a component it gets from a pseudorandom number generator (I mean even beyond what you see). Try exporting your public key twice, then compare them. They'll be different (and yet the same! lol)
