The security of cryptocurrencies is an issue for some people. The founders of digital coins know that stories about exchanges being hacked damage their image.

The developers of privacy-obsessed digital coin zcash have gone to unique (and extreme) lengths to ensure their digital currency’s security.

Zcash used nuclear waste from the infamous Chernobyl power station to create low-level radiation. This was converted into random numbers to generate zcash’s public cryptography parameters.
