I noticed that in the discord chat, people were confused where they could get their public key, and what the export address was. In fact, it is a bit confusing for someone who isn't a developer.

Currently we have:

ironfish wallet:export
xyz

ironfish wallet:address
Account: abc, publicKey: xyz

There are two potential fixes. You can decide which one to pick:

  1. We make both addresses consistent, and display a message
Ironfish wallet:export
Account: abc
Private key: xyz
Keep this address in a secure place. You can use it later to recover your wallet

Ironfish wallet:address
Account: abc
Public key: xyz
You can use this address for sending and receiving IRON.
  1. Same as above, and we update the export name to privateKey, and address name to publicKey
Ironfish wallet:privateKey
Private key: xyz
Keep this address in a secure place. You may use it later to import your wallet

Ironfish wallet:publicKey
Public key: xyz
You may use this address for sending and receiving IRON.

This is a quick fix, so I can get started on fixing it.
