+Basic key derivation from mnemonic seed phrase
+----------------------------------------------
+
+`draft` `optional` `author:fiatjaf`
+
+[BIP39](https://bips.xyz/39) is used to generate mnemonic seed words and derive a binary seed from them.
+
+[BIP32](https://bips.xyz/32) is used to derive the path `m/44'/1237'/0'/0'` (according to the Nostr entry on [SLIP44](https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/blob/master/slip-0044.md)).
+
+This is the default for a basic, normal, single-key client.
+
+Other types of clients can still get fancy and use other derivation paths for their own other purposes.
