Ask HN: What usage for a global simultaneous random integer generator?

1 pointsby dimitriarendtalmost 6 years ago
The service is providing every second anywhere on the globe simultaneously the same 128-bit random integer. It means being in London, New York or Singapore you have access to the same random integer at the same time. Actually, the jitter may be maximum 5ms between two locations but it could possibly be further reduced. The system would be transparant to guarantee by design the true randomness of the generator. Thankz for the ideas.
