Add vs Import #92

Closed sudeshrshetty closed 3 years ago

sudeshrshetty commented 3 years ago

in latest spec, new interface add looks similar to import. Is it intentional ?

The intention with add is to push one or more content items into a a wallet, whereas import is intended to take an encrypted wallet and produce a wallet instance from the encrypted content.

These distinctions should probably be made clearer.

certainly wallets need interfaces to add and remove content.

and you might import an encrypted wallet, add content, and then export it.

agreed, closing issue
