BIP43 "purpose" number for bitauth key generation from a BIP32 seed

Open voisine opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

For bip32 wallets, it would be nice to have a recommended bip32 path that conforms to bip43 for generating the auth key. Will bitauth itself will become a bip standard? Because it should use that number in that case.

I see that copay is using bip32 path m/1H/0

That'll work fine. I'll leave the issue open and suggest you document it as the recommended key derivation path for bip32 wallet implementations of bitauth.

I recently learned about derivation paths for bip32 and was wondering if there existed such a path for bitauth. Unfortunately this project seems somewhat abandoned.
