This is a simple api to generate random numbers, random strings and UUID's. This project was built using the GO language.
One of the features of this API is to use reddit comments as seeds, to generate what I am calling a "free-will" seed. The thought behind this, is that if you believe in free will, then this seed should be random and unable to predict
This API uses GO's random functions.
The Reddit random function does use the GO random function seeded by reddit comments.
This has not been tested for and should not be used for secure cryptographic purposes
