For some reason I can't get the "reallyreallyrandom" link to work it just endlessly loads for me. I want to know how they actually know it's quantum randomness and not just thermal noise. If they can genuinely prove it's quantum random then they should throw it on a PCIe card and sell it. There is a small market for it, I own one from Quantis and that cost me like two grand, it's optics based QRNG and has a bunch of papers proving it is quantumly random. I'd want to see something like that for that transistor diode method if it's really that cheap to build a QRNG.
