A stream of human generated randomness

Hi, author here... you can find more information about the context of this project here: https://medium.com/@thi.ng/evolutionary-failures-part-1-5452...

Interesting approach. From their Github page (https://github.com/postspectacular/rnd.farm/blob/master/READ...):

  We'd like to do a little experiment and see if a large (or even not so large) 
  group of people can collectively generate better quality random numbers than 
  an algorithm. Intuitively one would think and hope so [...]

It's not clear that individuals can reliably generate true random numbers when asked to do so (see answers at http://cogsci.stackexchange.com/questions/3591/how-well-can-...), but this is asking whether a group of people can do better than that, and is capturing mouse and keyboard keyboard input. It'll be interesting to see how using a group compares to using a single individual's input.

Human behaviour is hardly random. Also requires JS.

Very nicely done!

This reminds me of the tiny project I built where you basically click one bit at a time to collectively generate an abstruse binary stream:

Interesting. However, when "recording," the `00` column is always significantly larger than all the others. Doesn't look normal... (Chrome 47, Win7 x64)

Still down? Been getting 502 since last week. *sadface
