Description

Right now felony.json stores all keys added. This creates a problem since the User's private key is also stored in that file.

Some ways to go about this:

  1. We need to think of a more secure way of storing the private key
  2. not storing it and forcing the user to input it.

Definitely open to suggestions.

I could see this getting worked on with (#9)

Contributor guide

Research direction
