If I'm having trouble in Linux getting /dev/random to generate data, is it safe to use the haveged daemon to help generate entropy or is that not a really good idea? With that daemon running, /dev/random works just fine, I just want to make sure I'm not defeating the purpose.

Wow, a crypto-currency forum and no one has an opinion on whether haveged is an appropriate solution?
Did I post this in the wrong section?

You're not defeating the purpose, however it's good to have multiple sources of entropy. You can use data from /dev/random as one.
