well wouldn't it add up? someWhatRandom1 xor someWhatRandom2 xor notRandom3 xor ... should be more 'random' than just 'someWhatRandom1'

- throawayonthe 7mo agoi'm not sure it would necessarily be more random if you're mixing in a lower-entropy source which the accelerometer probably is
- LoganDark 7mo agoXOR is the worst hashing function imaginable, especially if the data isn't truly random, because it can cancel out to become even less random! It's better to use a KDF or something. Even a block cipher should work far better than XOR.
