It’s just as arbitrary as any other number. You can pick at random, but starting with a dictionary attack of easy, non-random keys would probably be a better start.
I remember playing a game of dvd-deal or no deal, where you would pick random number from one to twenty and see if you won money. The people I was playing with were mad because I just started guessing 1, 2, 3, 4…
I told them statistically it was just as likely to be those numbers as anything else.
Ain’t no way I’m starting from 0 if the standard key is 256-bit
