Description

Magnum Wallet somehow generating WIF when user is exporting a private key.

However, it is not quite clear how they are doing that.

It their algo looks reasonable, should we add support for WIF key import / export

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect Magnum Wallet's WIF generation approach and implement WIF key import/export in the Ergo wallet, ensuring compatibility with existing key management.
