I can model tossing dice and flipping coins very easily and cleanly.
For example, 256 flips of a fair coin, recording "H"/"T" per flip, then hashing the result with SHA-256 should work.
I can prove the coin is fair, show the entropy per flip (1 bit), save the raw flips as well as the post-processed SHA-256 hash.
It meets all of the requirements in NIST SP 800-90B, althoug cumbersome. So it should work, no?
