Uses insecure library for generating Bitcoin addresses #2

A couple of people have experienced their Bitcoins vanishing when using addresses generated by the PHPCoinAddress.php library. See https://github.com/zamgo/PHPCoinAddress/issues/3. This doesn't inspire confidence. Possible that someone is generating the same private keys and sweeping up the coins?

ACK - Need to find a stand alone CPRNG PHP lib that can generate key pairs.

I'm going to post a pull request for the patch that fixed it for me.

@qirtaiba did you find a decent php library? I'm not working on this project anymore, but if someone is stealing funds based on PHPCoinAddress library then I'm going to delete the repo like @nelsonmurciia suggests.

what do you mean by saying that somebody is stealing bitcoin using PHPCoinAddress?, if I used the official one can that happen too?
