 I wonder if the frequency could be increased if we used block composition (I am a complete n00b in that regard so take it with the grain of salt)? 🐶🐾🤔 
 What do you mean by block composition? 
 Now that's a nice application of Bitcoin

 Saved the zinger for the end
 “That's why you can also use the Merkle root (by default) as a source of entropty.” 
I thought it was block hash all along 
 Nice to see such innovative use of btc. 
Shared randomness could be a very useful tool!
