Overview

Package grpc provides a drand client implementation that uses drand's gRPC API.

The client connects to a drand gRPC endpoint to fetch randomness. The gRPC client has some advantages over the HTTP client - it is more compact on-the-wire and supports streaming and authentication.

A path to a file that holds TLS credentials for the drand server is required to validate server connections. Alternatively set the final parameter to `true` to enable _insecure_ connections (not recommended).
