Quantum RNG created using a Smartphone camera:

Make this a core component of Sailfish, & it may end-up being FAR MORE appealing to those whose attention you covet!?

Is the camera in the jolla faster than the one of the N9?

"Faster" in what sense? (there's several diff. metrics)

I don't see how that's relevant to the topic...

The speed of the camera is definitely relevant. ...but the question could be rephrased: Will the jolla output random numbers at a higher rate than the older hardware of the N9?

"Speed of the camera" is way too generic or vague...

You need to be more specific about a hw component of the cam. module, or an element of the sw stack.

At a guess the Jolla one should be marginally "for the intended application", but...

Given how this RNG works, speed isn't that much of a factor, the old N9's more than fast enough already.

"Vague" is good enough when looking for alternative solutions...
