Address generation

[lalanza808]

Hi Michal, is there plans to handle new wallet generation within this repo similar to Bigreddmachine's implementation, Or do you consider that to be outside of the scope?

It's definitely within the scope. Tools for generating offline wallets are super important. Ideally, I'd like to have it:

• able to generate sub-accounts and sub-addresses so that a real wallet generated from the seed would recover funds sent there,
• support different mnemonic languages,
• support seed encryption like here: https://xmr.llcoins.net/ (or other standard if it exists),
• use good randomness source on all systems,
• be named in some meaningful way (Wallet and Account class names are taken already).

I'm not familiar with algorithms used there and my priorities now are to finish the docs, extend functionality of wallet wrapper (payment proofs, multisig) and investigate the libwallet backend.

But perhaps you are interested in coding those offline tools?

Yeah, I'll take a crack at it. I'll probably just make a few issues and knock it out one piece at a time

Started this on my fork's branch, mnemonics: https://github.com/lalanza808/monero-python/blob/mnemonics/monero/seed.py

9 is ready to be merged which provides the basic functionality required for this.

We covered the basics with the recent PR's - closing this issue and making specific issues to address the remainder of functionality.
