I've released a new version of bitaddress.org with improvements to the entropy collection:
https://www.bitaddress.org/bitaddress.org-v2.8.0-SHA1-87dcf19f02ee9fb9dd3a8c787bcf52eef944aa82.html
 - more entropy from browser fingerprinting for PRNG seed
 - user can add entropy through URL hash tag
 - seed mouse movement as 16-bit number
 - whole seed pool initially filled by window.crypto.getRandomValues
 - added textbox as an alternative input source for entropy
 - address will not generate without a minimum amount of human added entropy from mouse or keyboard
 - discard mouse movements less than 40ms apart
 - visualize points of entropy collection from the mouse

@mikewoods, thank you for the ideas about discarding mouse movements less than 40ms apart and about visualizing the mouse collection points to encourage people to move the mouse more randomly.


That's great news! I'm very happy to be able to help!

I like how it works now - users will be motivated to try to get that number to 0.  Smiley
