-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Curious; anyone know much about what these inexpensive (comparatively, price seems steadily falling) ASIC Block Erupter USB Bitcoin miners can be adapted to doing? Could they be repurposed as RNG sources? I know they are designed / programmed for running the SHA256 hashing employed in mining Bitcoin, but as the difficulty rate goes up, their value in that arena becomes less and less... Just wondering if they might find new life as inexpensive RNGs. Any pointers to the circuit or the code they run? Disclaimer: I have no idea if this is even remotely a valid or good idea... But a cheap hardware thumb drive RNG might be useful, no?
