Title: If all miners used Quantum Random Number Generators to choose the "nonce"
Post by: remotemass on July 28, 2021, 12:42:38 AM
If all miners used Quantum Random Number Generators to choose the "nonce", the hash of each block would be as random as one 256-bits number produced by a quantum random number generated disconnected from the miners, right?

The question makes no sense to me. The hash of a block is already random regardless of how the nonce was chosen. Also a number (the nonce) that is supposed to be incremented and after exhaustion reset to zero millions of times doesn't need to be chosen randomly.
