Enhancement: (Re-)Separation of view/spend key-pairs #55

Open

Description

As mentioned in the discussion here: #53...

Viewkeys are deterministic, currently (derived from the spendkey, of which the mnemonic is a representation). I think this is a disavowal of established best-practices, and to the best of my understanding, was eliminated because a single mnemonic couldn't be used to generate two distinctly unrelated keypairs. That was a problem for MyMonero mainly, and general usability. But since, we don't have any plans to use any solutions that are like MyMonero's requirement to divulge your keys... I dont see anything but good that could come from a reversion to that practice. A loss in usability maybe, but a worthwhile one for a gain in security.
