It is possible to generate truly (not pseudo) random number with specific range inside smart contacts

(for example I need random number between 1 and 60 000 )

Thx!

There is no way to do so. Suppose there exists a way to generate a truly random number in a contract, then two nodes/ miners will generate two different values, thus end up having two different blockchain states. No consensus can be achieved in such scenario.

  • @NikhilM op was asking about generating totally random numbers. Any solutions in your references can be easily biased.
