Imagine the terrors of multiple government agencies synchronizing ID selection to an identical source of randomness. Congrats, you won jury duty, a tax audit AND selective service!
Sorry, can't help myself!
The Ralphie running demo on the site is hilarious.
Some say, you could just use Ralphie's actual runs from this past year, true randomness!
I recommend to also jump to "What is the Twine Protocol" [1] where they created a blockchain without a consensus layers because they have a level of trust in timestamps.
Verifiable quantum randomness sounds interesting - https://drand.love is another verifiable randomness beacon, though using more traditional cryptography
