v0.3.0
You can enter an existing BIP39 mnemonic, or generate a new random one. Typing your own twelve words will probably not work how you expect, since the words require a particular structure (the last word is a checksum)

The account extended keys can be used for importing to most BIP44 compatible wallets, such as mycelium or electrum.
+The BIP32 derivation path and extended keys are the basis for the derived addresses.
