#11 add random seed option to client

Open
opened 1 year ago by j3tracey · 0 comments

Rather than always seeding the RNG from the system randomness (in Shadow experiments, this would transparently use the Shadow-supplied PRNG), we should add an option in the client config to seed the RNG from a particular given seed. This could help with reproducibility, ensuring that message timings and sizes are the same each time we use a chat, helping to debug any issues we encounter down the road, and would especially be good for if anyone were to try to use this on an emulator.
