### Required for building `tangle-accelerator`
==generate address==:
- [ ] get_new_addresses

==get tips==:
- [ ] get_transactions_to_approve
- [x] get_tips

==send transfer==:
- [x] get_inputs: check balance for nonzero transfer
- [x] broadcast_transactions

==find transaction by tag==:
- [x] find_transactions

==get txn msg==:
- [x] get_trytes

## API flow
### getNewAddresses
not implemented in iota.lib.cpp

To generate new addresses:
1. generate private key with seed
2. generate digest according to security level(2)
3. generate address

* require `addressGenerator`
* require `keyGenerator`
