Timepool Random Generator

https://codeberg.org/sugarbug/timepool

A demo of how to gather clock entropy from a deterministic environment.
This demo is designed for visual aid with fluffy overkill.
This program generates strong seeds for feeding to a CSPRNG.

One can extrapolate more entropy by timing dice rolls than from dice face values. This overcomes the problem of a constrained system with an anemic or unknown random seed source. This is a digital equivalent of timing a dice roll then using system
intransigences and proof of work hashing to stretch out the timings.

Generate random seed on a system without well-seeded random number generator. Gather output from several iterations of this program and seed it to CSPRNG. Herein we hash, truncate, and whiten the timestamps for strong randomness.
