The greens I think want it to be opt in.

However, it's better to pass something and improve it later

At the moment, it's a shit show

    Honestly I've been in thinking over it and solution might be algorithms that are both open source and cryptographically random. Open source ofc, people should know exactly how their algorithms work. Cryptographically random precisely because a fully open source algorithm might be easy to game. And this should be made compulsory
