docs: the wallet is not only for names
The seed, the accounts and the derivation are a wallet. Owning a name is the first thing it is used for, not what it is, and the title and the problem it solves now say so.

## Problem
|

|
||||
A name bought in the app has to be owned by an address, and the client has to
|
||||
derive that address again after a restart, after a database restore, or on a new
|
||||
device. Otherwise the name is lost with the device.
|
||||
The client needs keys of its own, outside the messaging protocol, at addresses
|
||||
it can derive again after a restart, after a database restore, or on a new
|
||||
device. Otherwise whatever an address holds is lost with the device.
|
||||
|
||||
Buying is not here. The key lands first, so the key material can be reviewed on
|
||||
its own, before the names protocol, the registrar and signing.
|
||||
The first of those is name ownership: a name bought in the app is owned by one
|
||||
of these addresses. Buying is not here. The keys land first, so the key material
|
||||
can be reviewed on its own, before the names protocol, the registrar and
|

The plan is one meta address per profile: a spend key and a viewing key, whose

public halves are published with the chat profile, opt-in. A sender derives a

fresh destination from it without a handshake, so one meta address serves any

number of names received that way, and those keys are not at a derivation path.
