Arweave Mnemonic Keys

This library allows Arweave wallets/keys to be generated/loaded from BIP39-compliant 12 word mnemonics. This is as an alternative to the current default Arweave dapp behavior of requiring a JSON keyfile to be provided to sign transactions and interact with Arweave dapps.

See ArMob 2.0 for an example use case

This package is also served through OpenBits (http://openbits.world)

Note: It takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes to generate an RSA key using this library cuz well...Javascript can be slow.
