Subject: Re: [Bitcoin-development] BIP32 "wallet structure" in use? Remove it?
Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2014 14:58:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACq0ZD64RAw+p+HH=OvHzURg+pJrpRXfJ8jZ3q9v-MF99=mP6Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

On github I commented on the BIP43 pull request about adding a
"purpose" of 0' which would correspond to the BIP32 recommended tree
structure for a single account wallet. (m/0'/chain) This will allow
for backwards compatibility and interoperability at least for existing
single account BIP32 implementations like my own. The only issue is
that it would involve a new BIP, and it wouldn't follow the BIP43
recommendation of using the BIP number as the "purpose number", unless
I can get BIP0. :)
