Restore 12 words wallets.

Does it make sense not to allow 12 words wallets?

LND does not use 12 word seed phrases, and Blixt is not intended to be an onchain focused wallet.

Therefore seed restores with 24 word aezeed seeds makes the most sense.

That said, I think some other foundational work will help make the onchain UX better:

  • UTXO selection
  • UTXO freezing
  • fixing of a lnd bug for rebroadcasted sweeper txns
  • payjoin

These would go well with possibly some form of external wallet support which in theory could do a lot of stuff outside of lnd's control. It would also add complexity though, but it's definitely something to think about for the future
