By API, unpredictableSeed() only returns a 32b uint and will
never meet crypto standards. Beware of anyone who offers to
review it based on their "crypto expertise".
unpredictableSeed() is just for things like making single-player
games more interesting. It simply isn't for security, and that's
pretty much what cym13's post was about.
