 # go-onerng
-A Go port of the OneRNG tools
+
+This is a Go port of the OneRNG tools distributed at https://onerng.info/. Much credit is due to the OneRNG creators - all I'm doing here is porting a bunch of Bash and Python code to Go.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+This isn't anywhere near ready for prime-time yet. Here's what I want to be able to do with it:
+
+- [x] print the version (`cmdv`)
+- [x] print the ID (`cmdI`)
+- [ ] verify the image (`cmdX` & verify PGP signature)
+- [ ] generate some amount of entropy
+- [ ] add extra AES128-whitening
+- [ ] run as a daemon and integrate with `rngd`
