Subject: Re: [bitcoin-dev] RFC: HD Bitmessage address derivation based on BIP-43
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2015 10:45:05 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHabJ+NLVSsgu5k6aGRwTSFybp-K0h+=5v0=8+=eicrt1NLj7Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAGH37SJZm0qJL==aBfBGG7QsVfde-V80pnhpyPG_M0uumA+vbw@mail.gmail.com>

The primary purpose is to allow Bitmessage users to benefit from
eternal key backups by generating their addresses from a seed.


In addition, they can use the same seed for a Bitcoin wallet and a
Bitmessage client.


This method also enables future use cases where senders calculate
Bitmessage addresses based on a recipient's extended public key and
some other index value.
