A long time ago I bought a geiger counter for crypto exploration.
Problem is, you can't buy rad sources strong enough to generate enough
entropy (which is *still* subject to conditioning of course, despite the
hype, and any way a GM tube will saturate..). Even if you take your
smoke detector apart and use an alpha-windowed tube.
But a detuned FM radio card seemed to do quite well. Admittedly, no
white vans driving my amps. Are these sources not supported as
entropy sources? (Pardon my linux randomness being out of
date)
Also, why u no trust Intel's RNG? :-)
