How to generate a random number for a private key:
Step 1) aquire a Geiger counter tube (G-M tube)
Step2) acquire americium-241
Mount these next to each other.
The americium occasionally emits a gamma ray in a random direction.
Sometimes that direction is towards the G-M tube.
The timing is random.
It can't be spied on because it's vector/directional.
This is how I will be generating my private keys from now on.
