## Issue Addressed #1992 and #1987, and also to be considered a continuation of #1751 ## Proposed Changes many changed files but most are renaming to align the code with the semantics of `--network` - remove the `--network` default value (in clap) and instead set it after checking the `network` and `testnet-dir` flags - move `eth2_testnet_config` crate to `eth2_network_config` - move `Eth2TestnetConfig` to `Eth2NetworkConfig` - move `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_TESTNET` to `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_NETWORK` - `beacon_node`s `get_eth2_testnet_config` loads the `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_NETWORK` if there is no network nor testnet provided - `boot_node`s config loads the config same as the `beacon_node`, it was using the configuration only for preconfigured networks (That code is ~1year old so I asume it was not intended) - removed a one year old comment stating we should try to emulate `https://github.com/eth2-clients/eth2-testnets/tree/master/nimbus/testnet1` it looks outdated (?) - remove `lighthouse`s `load_testnet_config` in favor of `get_eth2_network_config` to centralize that logic (It had differences) - some spelling ## Additional Info Both the command of #1992 and the scripts of #1987 seem to work fine, same as `bn` and `vc` |

Lighthouse Account Manager
The account manager (AM) is a stand-alone binary which allows users to generate and manage the cryptographic keys necessary to interact with Ethereum Serenity.
Roles
The AM is responsible for the following tasks:
- Generation of cryptographic key pairs
- Must acquire sufficient entropy to ensure keys are generated securely (TBD)
- Secure storage of private keys
- Keys must be encrypted while at rest on the disk (TBD)
- The format is compatible with the validator client
- Produces messages and transactions necessary to initiate staking on Ethereum 1.x (TPD)
Implementation
The AM is not a service, and does not run continuously, nor does it interact with any running services. It is intended to be executed separately from other Lighthouse binaries and produce files which can be consumed by them.&
Usage
Simply run ./account_manager generate to generate a new random private key,
which will be automatically saved to the correct directory.
If you prefer to use our "deterministic" keys for testing purposes, simply
run ./accounts_manager generate_deterministic -i <index>, where index is
the validator index for the key. This will reliably produce the same key each time
and save it to the directory.
