Please use version bytes for bech32 xpub
The xpub generated by bech32 bitpay wallet is currently starting with prefix xpub
This creates multiple problems:
- Incorrect balance display in watch only wallets / blockexplorer using xpub
- Mismatch of xpub with other wallets like electrum, trezor, samouri
- Incorrect address derivation from xpub - used by Merchant utilites like BtcPay
