A hd wallet that derives public and private keys from a 12 word mnemonic phrase with support

# Tnb-hd-wallet

Keeping all your crypto in a single wallet has some disadvantages because hackers or private investigators can track transactions back to you, and accounts with large amounts of coins give hackers more incentive to hack it.

Creating multiple accounts as a solution to this problem also poses some risks as managing multiple keys can prove to be a difficult task with the added risk that they could also be misplaced.

This project solves both these problems as all you need to control an infinite number of accounts is just a 12-word mnemonic phrase. With a 12-word mnemonic, you can generate keys not just for thenewboston alone but for other cryptocurrencies as well while increasing your privacy if you use different accounts for different transactions.
