Hermes Loves Digital Divination

It is my personal UPG that Hermes and the Internet are like strawberries and chocolate (and, from talking to people, I'm probably not the only person who thinks this way). For as long as I can remember, I have used dice and coin divination to inform my decision-making; after converting to Hellenic Polytheism, I found a coin divination outlined by Sannion at wildivine.org that made considerable sense to me.

Now, I am also incredibly bad at flipping coins. Flipping coins on the Internet with Hermes's good guidance brings together the best of two of his realms.

This is where RANDOM.ORG comes in. The organization

offers true random numbers to anyone on the Internet. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs. People use RANDOM.ORG for holding drawings, lotteries and sweepstakes, to drive games and gambling sites, for scientific applications and for art and music. The service has existed since 1998 and was built and is being operated by Mads Haahr of the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College, Dublin in Ireland.

So ... if people already use a truly random service for so many things, why can't we add divination to the mix? ... especially since RANDOM.ORG has a section for virtual coins. More importantly, one can decide on the kind of coin. It currently offers six coins from the Roman Empire and one from the Bactria Indo-Sythican Greek Kingdom. One can decide the number of coins to flip as well, so you can use any coin divination system you feel comfortable with.

Personally, I'm 100% Bactrian.
