Another scam wallet: Cashaddress paper wallet

There is a malicious version of https://cashaddress.org being hosted at an almost identical URL (one d instead of two). I made a typo in referencing it and it resulted in a prominent member of our community losing a very large sum of money. I won't name them but they can step forward if they'd like to.

To be safe, NEVER USE A HOSTED VERSION OF ANY PAPER WALLET GENERATOR!

You can very easily clone cashaddress from the source @ https://github.com/theantnest/bccaddress. Run it locally and ONLY while disconnected from the internet. Double check any address pasted from your clipboard.
