Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is Yuzoz?
A. Yuzoz is a open-sourced platform that provides a live connection to the beauty and randomness of outer space.
Q. What is the Yuzoz Generator-1?
A. The Yuzoz Generator-1 is our proprietary software which takes live
astronomical events, such as solar flares, northern lights, the winds of space,
the movements of clouds on Venus, and breaks them down into randomly generated
numbers. These certified random numbers, in turn, can become almost anything you want: the notes
of a cell phone ring tone; lucky numbers for lotteries, special colors for a
newly painted room, or even to choose the name of a new pet! All of these
actions, available on our web site, (www.Yuzoz.com) connect you live to the forces of the stars.
And it is the stars making the choice. Using the Yuzoz Generator-1 you know it
is live, it is random, it is direct from the stars.
Q. What does the name Yuzoz mean?
A. Our name comes from the random pattern of the solar flares of the sun,
which our patent pending system turns into numbers. Those numbers generated the
letters that created Yuzoz. So Yuzoz as a name has no prior meaning.
Q. How exactly did that work?
A. On New Year’s Day 2006, the company took
data from a scientific satellite that monitors the sun; this data was fed into
the Yuzoz Generator-1 with special instructions to create a list of names using
four to ten random letters and including two vowels. More than 6,000 names were
subsequently generated. We narrowed our choices down to five names that we
liked, and then picked Yuzoz. The name literally owes its existence to the
pattern of the solar flares on January 1, 2006.
Q. Why did you create Yuzoz?
A. We believe there is something special about the solar system and sought to
find a way to make outer space part of our daily lives. We have done that with
the Yuzoz Generator-1 and the entire Yuzoz system. Experiencing space should be
for everyone, not just those who can pay millions to go to the space station.
Q. How do you get the raw data for the Yuzoz Generator-1?
A. Orbiting scientific satellites have sensors that record all sorts of
fantastic events in the solar system. We can monitor and collect that sensor
data from the Yuzoz Mission Control Center. We have entered into discussions to
locate our mission control in several very exciting places and will hold a
contest to decide the final location.
Q. The Yuzoz Generator-1 is sometimes referred to as the first “branded RNG”
(random number generator) what does that mean?
A. Up to now, “RNG’s” are usually nameless hardware devices that use
algorithms to generate a series of random numbers. They are used to power
internet games, for example. We found the use of algorithms boring and lacking
in transparency. We wanted to create an RNG that used the randomness of outer
space in a way that everyone could see and enjoy.
Q. Random Number Generators are sophisticated devices which receive
independent certification. What is the status of the Yuzoz Generator-1? Is it
really random?
A. The Yuzoz Generator-1 has been certified as generating random series of
data based on astronomical events by TST Laboratories of Vancouver, Canada, TST
is recognized as the leading laboratory for certifying RNG’s for internet games.
Q. How is Yuzoz different from other companies providing random numbers?
A. Yuzoz provides a live, direct connection to the randomness of outer space.
Most of us will never go to space, but now you can have your own connection via
Yuzoz products that are linked to space.
Q. What does your tag line, “Live Random,” mean?
A. Life is random. We all know that. It borders on chaos sometimes. Yuzoz is
about taking that randomness and having fun with it. Tapping into the energy of
the stars and planets to make your own daily decisions. What movie to see? What
vacation to take? What numbers to use to play the lottery? Can’t decide? Yuzoz
It!
Q. Who is using the Yuzoz RNG?
A. Everyone can use the Yuzoz Generator-1 at www.yuzoz.com. We are also
speaking with a number of game companies, space agencies and design architects,
about using the unique Yuzoz Generator-1 to power cell phone games, games on the
internet, educational games about space themes and light patterns on some of the
world’s most interesting buildings.
Q. How can other sites use Yuzoz?
A. A site that offers thousands of wines can have a Yuzoz button that allows
users to put in five favorite wines and “let the stars decide” which to use. A
search engine that requires passwords can use the Yuzoz button to allow users to
generate truly random passwords via live astronomical events. A site with pet
names or baby names can do the same. Yuzoz are also developing cutting-edge and very cool Widgets which will
use our space data for all sorts of applications.
Q. Where can I find the Yuzoz OS-RNG?
A. You can Yuzoz it! At (www.Yuzoz.com).
Q. How can I use the Yuzoz button on my site?
A. For now, Contact Yuzoz and we will work with you directly.
