Import Bitcoin Address to Create View-Only Wallet

[A-Diddy]

Bitcoin users would like the ability to import a bitcoin address (instead of a key or seed phrase) for a view-only wallet.

This would allow users to quickly create view-only wallets without having to generate or expose public keys.

Currently, it appears that only a public key can be imported for a view-only, bitcoin wallet. Since some wallets (hardware, paper, etc.) do not make public keys easily available, many users must jump through extra steps to get the public key or simply use different software.

Many other wallet applications have this functionality (i.e. Electrum, BlueWallet), but none are as awesome as Cake Wallet.
