He basically says that he is generating trillions of addresses non stop and getting a few collissions that will grow over time. His logic is that the entropy of Armory, Bitcoin Core, Multibut, Electrum etc. (and generally any other wallet that uses a RNG based on software) is flawed and results in a highly reduced keyspace, which will result in collissions with enought computing power and space devoted to private keys bruteforcing.

This guy is either trolling for the sake of it, or he is going to bundle some malware into his upcoming "bitcoin cracker".

Anyway, if you don't trust your machine's RNG, there is a way to use your own entropy via restore backup feature: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=673035.0
