When we are generating addresses using Bitcoin-QT, what is the starting point ? I mean what input Bitcoin-QT takes from Windows OS, say Win 7 ? Windows generated random numbers ?
Yes.
Wait what? How is Yes valid answer?
EdIt: oh I see. kind of

Yes.
So it is a random number, NOT a random string. Ok... Any idea about the length of the number ? If there is no fixed length then probably the max length ?
Did I hear it was number of microseconds since last boot for this or something else??? Taken as the seed... anyway, something like that.
No

wow
that really explained it faster then I thought it could be
Ask a simple question:
"When we are generating addresses using Bitcoin-QT what input does Bitcoin-QT take from Windows OS, Windows generated random numbers?"
Get a simple answer:
"Yes."
I suppose I could have been a bit more wordy...
"Yes, when generating addresses using Bitcoin-Qt, Bitcoin-Qt gets a random number from the operating system."
Is that any better?
