+generator, you cannot guess the future numbers, and you cannot guess the seed.
address@hidden There are so many possible seeds that it would take decades, 
centuries,

address@hidden The seed comes from a source that generates relatively strong 
random
+data on your platform, so the seed itself will be as random as possible.
