17:38 < gmaxwell> 20:21 < gmaxwell> warren: if the kernel developers are malicious you're in trouble, if they make mistakes— well no need for bitcoin to be utterly brittle to weaknesses  in the kernel rng.
17:38 < gmaxwell> :P
17:39 < warren> gmaxwell: fun
17:39 < gmaxwell> Seems the author of that article doesn't know about weak nonces.
18:13 < petertodd> Bitcoin really shouldn't be using the system PRNG directly IMO.
18:14 < petertodd> I figure we already have a good RNG pool with the keypool - hash in the last key generated with whatever the OS RNG gives us.
