blogpost/whitepaper of cointoss algorithm #252

Open zippy opened 7 years ago

zippy commented 7 years ago

The cointoss algorithm represents a nice pattern for "trustable random initiation" in a distributed environment, i.e. how pick white/black for chess, or how we do rock/paper/scissors.

This is worthy at least of a blogpost maybe even a whitepaper if someone wants to do the litterature search to see what's been done before on this and if what we came up with here is actually a contribution.
