Hi,
I'm wondering if I can access the shared random value[1] while developing a protocol/application on top of Tor onion services. The application is still in early development, but it would be great if I could depend on the shared random value.
If this is not the correct mailing list for this question, I would be glad if you could point me to one.

You can through the ControlPort with:
"GETINFO sr/current" "GETINFO sr/previous"
From control-spec.txt:
"sr/current" "sr/previous" The current or previous shared random value, as received in the consensus, base-64 encoded. An empty value means that either the consensus has no shared random value, or Tor has no consensus.
