Yeah it's very tricky. I'm not sure how to make it practical; it has to be the *souce* value that you're testing for uniformity. It doesn't have to be *perfectly* uniform, or even that close. But it h...
This explains running Health test as part of the generation. So maybe something of that nature. https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/nist.sp.800-90b.pdf
We all (who have tech skills) are at least a little bit at fault.
We never developed some kind of norm of: how can you assure your users that their private keys are 'proper'?
Were they supposed to l...
How many random numbers do you need to generate to be able to reasonably verify the distribution is uniform? There could be a well tested lib that does that and that's included by the wallets? I guess the issue is that getting the randomness even for a single number takes too long?

What would you do as nvk in this situation? #asknostr
Probably hire non-psychopath to take his place and quietly disappear from the space while financially supporting open source devs for at least 2 years. Then gradually come back into space humbled.

The thefts are part of a wider attack affecting 500 private keys across different wallet types, not just Col...
At this point you should know not to trust what nvk strongly states.

I asked barista "hey, how are you doing, I would like iced matcha latte to go for nout".
And she asked "do you want it to go?", I say yes as she puts the ceramic cup back and gets paper cup. Then she asks "what was it again iced?" I say "matcha latte, thank you" and as I'm leaving she asks "I'm sorry what was the name?"
