Remove it? X-BeenThere: bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.9 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2014 21:58:14 -0000 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. :) Aaron There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you -- Will Rodgers On Fri, Apr 25, 2014 at 8:49 AM, Mike Hearn wrote: > I generally agree, but I wonder how popular cloning wallets between devices > will be in future.
