Multiple schemes per wallet

Open pedromvpg opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Is it possible to have multiple derivation paths and address schemes based on the same private key? I'm experimenting with importing from other wallet softwares that actually use one single mnemonic to control segwit and legacy addresses.

Can I add BIP39 and BIP84 derivations and signatures?

This has been requested previously, but I feel doesn't fit well with Sparrow's UI architecture. It would be difficult and potentially quite confusing to explore a wallet with multiple derivation paths/addresses for a particular receive or change index, given the detail that Sparrow presents. Also, there would need to a good deal of additional UI to determine which "wallet" the user wanted to work with. Probably, it's simpler to just use multiple wallets in this case, which achieves the same thing through a different mechanism.

Outstanding Action: Access multiple wallets in a single file without compromising sparrow's UI architecture Proposed Priority: Low
