Creating Wallet

If you don't have a wallet, you can create a new one with the parameters 'wallet name' and 'wallet password'.

• Wallet password can only be a "6-digit string of integers".

• A user can only create one wallet.

val result = fncyWallet.makeWallet(
walletName = "wallet name",
pin = "wallet password", // A 6-digit string of integers
)

Setting Wallet Restore Questions/Answers

If a user loses the password to the wallet, the assets in that wallet are lost forever.

However, if a user has registered a wallet restore question/answer, users can recover their wallet using that answer as a recovery key.

Requesting List of Wallet Restore Questions

The recovery key for restoring your wallet is a pair of selected questions and answers.

First, select a restore question by requesting for a list of questions to choose from.

val result = fncyWallet.getQuestionList()
