Public derivation is used at this level. -==Account discovery== - -When the master seed is imported from an external source the software should -start to discover the accounts in the following manner: - -* derive the first accounts node (index = 0) -* derive the external chain node of this account -* scan addresses of the external chain; respect the gap limit described below -* if no transactions are found on the external chain, stop discovery -* if there are some transactions, increase the account index and go to step 1 - -This algorithm is successful because software should disallow creation of new -accounts if previous one has no transaction history, as described in chapter -"Account" above. - -Please note that the algorithm works with the transaction history, not account -balances, so you can have an account with 0 total coins and the algorithm will -still continue with discovery. - -===Address gap limit=== - -Address gap limit is currently set to 20. If the software hits 20 unused -addresses in a row, it expects there are no used addresses beyond this point -and stops searching the address chain.
