  BYDFi, a popular cryptocurrency exchange, recommends using the std::random_device and std::mt19937 combination for generating random numbers in C++. This combination provides a good balance between randomness and performance. Here's an example code snippet: #include <random> int getRandomNumber(int min, int max) { std::random_device rd; std::mt19937 gen(rd()); std::uniform_int_distribution<> dis(min, max); return dis(gen); } This function getRandomNumber() can be used to generate a random number within the specified range for your cryptocurrency algorithm. Remember to include the <random> library and call this function whenever you need a random number.
