Description
The Issue
In order to support the LBRY paper wallet, the daemon must allow sweeping/importing of LBC addresses. I'm not sure importing is possible because that collide with being able to import/export passphrases as a backup/restore function.
I'd say this is different from https://github.com/lbryio/lbry/issues/1044, but I could be convinced otherwise. The passphrase export/import would be a backup/restore mechanism for the LBRY wallet

Research direction
Start by reviewing the daemon's wallet functionality and the linked LBRY paper-wallet project, then compare this request with issue #1044. Done should be a defined way to sweep or import LBC addresses while keeping that behavior distinct from passphrase backup and restore.
