Visual tool to explain entropy in bitcoin (TRNG, PRNG, ...)
 | After reading about cases where weak entropy led to unsafe keys and people losing funds (recent bitcoin COLDCARD attack) , I decided to learn more about entropy and how it is generated. There are different ways to generate entropy, like TRNGs, PRNGs, rolling dice, or flipping coins. But for me, it was hard to make these concepts click and understand how we go from a random source of entropy to something like a private key. So I made a tool that explains this visually.
