set RNG RandomUtils Random before generating random numbers error

Question

I am learning to program blockchain and i am using the code:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    try
    {
        Key privateKey = new Key(); // generate a random private key
        PubKey publicKey = privateKey.PubKey;
        Console.WriteLine(publicKey); // 0251036303164f6c458e9f7abecb4e55e5ce9ec2b2f1d06d633c9653a07976560c

        Console.WriteLine(publicKey.GetAddress(Network.Main)); // 1PrBDFfAiwqxe2izPcTsj5t4Dn5pjbvtH6
        Console.WriteLine(publicKey.GetAddress(Network.TestNet)); // n3zWAo2eBnxLr3ueohXnuAa8mTVBhxmPhq

        var publicKeyHash = publicKey.Hash;
        Console.WriteLine(publicKeyHash); // f6889b21b5540353a29ed18c45ea0031280c42cf
        var mainNetAddress = publicKeyHash.GetAddress(Network.Main);
        var testNetAddress = publicKeyHash.GetAddress(Network.TestNet);

        Console.WriteLine(mainNetAddress); // 1PrBDFfAiwqxe2izPcTsj5t4Dn5pjbvtH6
        Console.WriteLine(testNetAddress); // n3zWAo2eBnxLr3ueohXnuAa8mTVBhxmPhq

        Console.ReadLine();
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {    
        throw;
    }   
}

and when i run this, i get the following error pointing to the first line:

You must set the RNG (RandomUtils.Random) before generating random numbers

I know i have to set RNG as the error suggests but how do i do it?

Answer 1

Use the following code, you just have to initialize the generator and it will solve your problem.

RandomUtils.Random = new UnsecureRandom(); // this sets the random number generator
Key privateKey = new Key(); //this generates random private key
