[erlang-questions] [ANN] nist_beacon 0.1.0

[Krzysztof Jurewicz]

I’m pleased to announce the initial release of nist_beacon — a wrapper for NIST Randomness Beacon, which can be used to obtain entropy from a public source.

Repository: https://gitlab.com/KrzysiekJ/nist_beacon
More about the beacon: https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/nist-randomness-beacon

The application is not complete and it does not perform neither signature nor blockchain verification (it will likely get signature verification before Ercoin is released). It uses the 2.0 (beta) API which does not seem to be documented on the beacon’s website yet.

Contributions and feedback are welcome.
