Derivation path

[aguycalled]

Currently navcoin core shares with bitcoin the derivation path used for the generation of new addresses (m/0'/0'), this should be changed to m/44'/130' while preserving backwards compatibility with old wallets.

@aguycalled we should add an issue over at NavPay as well, and Next?

We only have 3 wallets to update right?

NEXT uses core? So do we have anything to change on that end?

[aguycalled]

NEXT uses core, NavPay should see an issue opened too

ACK

I think NavPay is easier as it's just changing the default on creation and the default on import

Then adding a note on import page.

This statement was WRONG 👍

i do not see anything on this here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0130.mediawiki
so you're talkin about m/44'/130'

[alexeyneu]

and i found this:

navcoin-core/src/wallet/wallet.cpp

Line 119 in 498e75f

// for now we use a fixed keypath scheme of m/0'/0'/k

so what is it you finally wanna?

[aguycalled]

you are right, updated issue description

it'll be 44'/130'/0'/0'/0'
in 44'/130'/0' all three lose its meanings

EDIT:
you can go with letter stuff

[mxaddict]

@alexeyneu What do you mean by "letter stuff"

[mxaddict]

@alexeyneu are you working on this? If so I can assign this issue to you.

[alexeyneu]

may be i'll do it , may be not
the bad is that you'd to add mnemonic early . And now all this deriv path stuff goes straight to user coz no one knows what he'd used to export it.
say in mew during import you choose path used , but before that you did it on export . So how i see it is to add option to importmnemonic like -before17 .
on the other hand it's new stuff so is not being used by many.
