A quantum-resistant RNG powered by collective human entropy
EntropyGrid Friday, January 02, 2026Hi HN,
I’m not a professional developer, but I’ve been obsessed with the idea of "Human Entropy." With the rise of quantum computing, I started wondering: Can we create a random sequence that no machine can predict because its source is the unpredictable nature of human behavior?
I built this web app using Flutter and Firebase. It's a simple idea: users perform actions on the web client, and those unique interaction hashes are sent to a secure Firestore pool. A server-side Cloud Function (hidden from the client) then joins these hashes daily to create a massive, non-deterministic random string.
Key Security Measures:
App Check: To prevent bot-driven entropy.
One-way Write: Users can only append to the pool; they can't read or modify existing data.
Hidden Logic: The actual concatenation happens in the cloud, so the core logic isn't exposed in the frontend.
It’s still a work in progress and currently supported by a small community of 15 people. I’d love to get your feedback on the logic and, more importantly, have you contribute your own "entropy" to the pool.

Looking forward to a brutal but honest technical discussion!
