Hi Jeremy,
Thank you for your reply. P2C tweaks are unrelated to BIP32 derivations and
can't be mixed with BIP32 derivation paths. Specifically, P2C commitments can't
be relying on extended key chain code, which should be not known to the
verifyer. Thus, P2C is incompatible with BIP32 CDK.
Kind regards,
Maxim Orlovsky
