A new section titled "Beginner Tutorial" has been added to the README, including a link to a step-by-step guide on sending BSV and NFTs with the Python SDK. This aims to assist new users in getting started with the project more easily.
Implements private key splitting and recovery using Shamir's Secret Sharing scheme. Includes `KeyShares`, `Polynomial`, and `PointInFiniteField` classes, unit tests, and examples demonstrating functionality. Added integrity verification and robust error handling for share validation and recovery.
Incremented the version in `__init__.py` from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4. This prepares the library for a new release, reflecting recent changes or improvements.
Bump the version from 1.0.3 to 1.0.5 in the `__init__.py` file. This reflects recent changes or updates made to the codebase.
