Heres a weird idea

Post by ftpjesus »

I might be out in left field on this any chance in V7 we might be able to get integration for something like this.. Its fairly cheap on Amazon but I believe some folks have more faith in a hardware RNG in some cases then just software driven.. It might even be overkill in a way since your really only needing to randomize 52 cards but we are talking potentially 80658175170943878571660636856403766975289505440883277824000000000000 possibilities (52!)

That could only be used if you had physical access to the server, which is not the case of those running on a cloud server. Plus something that could so easily be unplugged and replaced wouldn't be more secure than a good cryptographically based PRNG that Poker Mavens uses now.

Was just a thought.. Obviously its an non-starter for those with remote servers but some folks do maintain physical control of their servers..
