this is dumb slow and could be much faster

It would be nice if the first time you ran the miner it asked questions and added the responses to the config. Ideally it would be nice if the wallet generation that happens when running the client for the first time could happen when running the miner for the first time if there is no wallet present. Example ``` ./miner.sh **Solo or Pool?** Pool **Pool address to connect to? Leave blank for http://snowday.fun** http://snow.protopool.io **Wallet address to mine to? Leave blank to generate and use a local wallet.** **Wallet generation in process.. Using local wallet.db** **Generate snowfields automatically? This takes a very long time alternatively you can download via torrent at http://www.snowblossom.org. Yes or No** No **Enable memfield mining? Requires enough system memory to fit the current snowfield plus overhead for the mining threads. Yes or No** Yes Starting miner.... ``` This is similar to https://github.com/ProgrammerDan/arionum-java/releases if you would like to see an example.

the problem with that is you'd have to link the client to the miner

right?

that isn't a problem

we already include the client code as a library in the miner for some stuff

Previously I avoided having the miner generate the wallet since I was worried about race conditions

but with the new wallet setup, that isn't a concern
