Enhance your security with truly unpredictable random number generation. Generate unique ids, hashes, API secrets, and more using a CSPRNG powered by an array of chaotic lava lamps.
Introducing Lava Lamps as a Service—because your random numbers deserve to be groovy. Tired of crypto.randomUUID() or whatever cryptographic mumbo-jumbo your device uses? Need random numbers that are extremely safe + 1? I’ve set up an array of real lava lamps, pointed a camera at them, and built an API that turns their unpredictable, wavy chaos into pure entropy. Inspired by Cloudflare’s LavaRand (which I bike past on my way to work), this is random number generation for developers who like their code with a side of 70s flair.
Tom Scott did a great coverage of this, love the idea of turning it into a service, well done on the launch!
It’s great to see tech like this that’s not only functional but truly unique. @samuel_crombie Definitely a conversation starter and a top choice for secure randomness. Good work keep it up.
What an innovative solution for CSPRNG. @samuel_crombie Using lava lamps to generate entropy is genius secure ,unpredictable and visually awesome. Great work.
A hybrid option that kicks in during high-demand periods could be interesting. Still, this is a very cool and effective tool. @samuel_crombie Good work keep it up.
It definitely brings a fun twist to CSPRNG. @samuel_crombie I noticed though that it might be challenging to scale if it’s dependent on the lava lamps for entropy. Well done.
This is such a creative approach to secure random number generation. @samuel_crombie Well done.
Congrats @samuel_crombie but does the system recalibrate or ‘refresh’ the entropy levels over time to maintain true randomness? Overall great work keep it up.
Well done @samuel_crombie using lava lamps as a random generator source is brilliant. Keep it up.
Huge congrats to the team on today's launch! I love the quirky twist on security - who wouldn't trust their secrets to mesmerizing lava lamps? Seriously though, how do you ensure the lava lamp array's 'chaos' is consistently, well, chaotic enough to maintain top-notch randomness across a large volume of requests?
I love this unique approach to randomization with lava lamps. Such a fun and clever idea.
It perfect for developers looking to secure their applications with something unique. Well done.
Great work @samuel_crombie but one idea might be to add an option for users to access real time entropy measurements or randomness quality stats. Great job pushing boundaries in security.
Wow, a random number generator powered by lava lamps is just what I needed! Your invention is both entertaining and useful
The unpredictability from lava lamps is perfect for secure API secrets. Well done!
