Hi woltx,

Thanks for working on silent payments improving it in each version.

1) All inputs being used sounds good although I do not understand how it would 
benefit coinjoin.
2) New RPC command name is better.

Not sure about the concerns expressed by Andrew Poelstra in the pull request 
related to rogue-key attacks.

I could not understand the warning in the output for `getsilentaddress` RPC 
when used with a label.
