private key security

Just read about profanity incident.

Please check

vanity-eth/src/js/vanity.js

Line 21 in 620a2c1

const randbytes = randomBytes(32);

Does this project have the similar problem? Is 32 bytes enough for a private key?

No, it doesn't have a similar problem

Is 32 bytes enough for a private key?

32 bytes is literally the size of a Ethereum private key, so yes, it's enough and could not be higher even if I wanted to.

Profanity uses 32 bit seeds, which is the same as 4 bytes.

Please read #43 for more details
