recently had a conversation about the us powerball lottery and why im not interested in playing; it depends on a bunch of trusted third parties.
that sounded familiar and sparked an idea for a trust-less implementation:
1. take a Block Hash: 0000000000000000000a1b2c3d4e5f...
2. convert hash to integer and use as rng seed
3. Call rand.IntN(69) five times → White balls: 7, 23, 45, 58, 62
4. Call rand.IntN(26) once → Powerball: 18
someone build this on nostr with zaps.
claude code is so fun. I originally got into coding for the creative feedback loop - it's really fun to write some code and then see the computer do something. claude code is that on steriods.
