        ========================

        

        This package provides a command-line script and a library module for

        generating Kin accounts from BIP-0039/Electrum seed phrases. It

        performs deterministic generation of Kin account keys from mnemonic

        seed phrases. Each seed phrase may optionally be extended with custom

        words that play the role of an additional passphrase.

        

        seed-phrases-for-kin accepts two kinds of mnemonic seed phrases:

        

        - seed phrases that comply with the BIP-0039 specification

          (https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki), and

          

        - seed phrases generated by the Electrum Bitcoin wallet (https://electrum.org/).

        

        Since these are the two major standards for wallet seed phrases,

        seed-phrases-for-kin accepts nearly all mnemonic phrases generated by

        cryptocurrency wallets. Note, however, that this software does NOT perform

        random generation of high-entropy seed phrases. Its main purpose is to allow

        cryptocurrency wallet users to derive Kin account keys from high-entropy

        seed phrases that they already have and that probably were created by their

        wallets.

        

        By following either BIP-0039 or Electrum, `seed-phrases-for-kin`

        derives a binary seed from a mnemonic seed phrase. Then it derives

        Kin keys from the binary seed, as specified by SEP-0005

        (https://github.com/stellar/stellar-protocol/blob/master/ecosystem/sep-0005.md),

        SLIP-0010 (https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/blob/master/slip-0010.md) and

        BIP-0044 (https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki).
