Excuse the spam, but here is our implementation of bip39 with UI in JS, that we use for account access control, client and server side with checksum recalculation. https://github.com/VivaRado/BIP39UI

ACK b588ff8. went through the noise protocol spec. also sharing a [pictorial represantion of the NX handshake](https://github.com/stratospher/blogosphere/blob/main/noise.pdf) if it's useful to other reviewers.

b588ff8: nit: could move the MixHash log up (after `DecryptAndHash`)and before Validate log for more clarity.

b588ff8: typo - s/ephmeral/ephemeral in a few places.

since the template provider behaves as the server and only performs the responder handshake flow, it might be useful to mention initiator handshake flow is just for tests.

b588ff8: (micro nit/feel free to ignore) could `return m_cs1.EncryptMessage` to keep it consistent with how it's done in `DecryptMessage`.

d08a2ebf: sv2 is OFF when fuzzing - so we need to turn it ON here to fuzz locally. Also the sv2 fuzz tests aren't run on the CI.

I switched one of my monitoring nodes to run https://github.com/0xB10C/bitcoin/commit/ba39837d999407a55c3784059f7cf07bdbdfce76 to collect some data on this. Having a glance at the logs since yesterday, I've mostly seen the same few peers sending me unsolicited transactions - at a rate of a few per minute.

I assumed (incorrectly) that almost no one would be doing this anymore since building the fuzz binary is no longer the default behavior. What I'm proposing would require you to do a separate build with `-DBUILD_FOR_FUZZING=ON`, which is of course annoying if you just want to check that the fuzz binary compiles.

Another assumption I have (perhaps also incorrect) is that no one

So we delete the comment about BIP39 UI implementation because @junderw down voted, without probably even looking at the code. @junderw your behavior is not appreciated. If you do not have something constructive to add, avoid negative displays of grandeur.
