Hi,
Does anyone think a geiger (radiation) based
real number generator would be of interest ?
We are developing a small battery powered
unit for a project and may market it to the public
if it is viable.

No. It is much easier and cheaper to get random data from transistors
or resistors.

I have a working model of a TRNG. At 115,200 baud the device can output 11,520 completely random bytes per second. Simple input changes the output to 0..9 plus A..F, 0x20..5F or 0x20..5F -plus 0xA0..DF and if your system can take it, 0x00..0xFF.

The quoted preliminary prices have a profit margin built in. The hardware guy and I hope to make something for our efforts.
