Add damaged word recovery option #8

Closed Coding-Enthusiast closed 2 years ago

Coding-Enthusiast commented 3 years ago

The individual words used in a mnemonic could be partially damaged and require to be recovered. It is faster to do that instead of using the mnemonic recovery option.
For this purpose we could use the Levenshtein distance (or maybe other string metrics) that was added to Bitcoin.Net recently.
Probably an option to be added to FinderOuter v.0.6.0.

This option was finally added in https://github.com/Coding-Enthusiast/FinderOuter/commit/f7576c931fcd4ea10d0b55bb0f70e225513c29b8 as part of the Search Space Limiter feature and will be released in 0.15.0.
