Either the account shows up or not at all. The user does not have to check his balance after using the same seed in different wallets. + + +==Specifications== + +This BIP defines the two needed steps to derive multiple deterministic addresses based on a [[bip-0032.mediawiki|BIP 32]] root account. + +===Public key derivation=== + +To derive a public key from the root account, this BIP uses the same account-structure as defined in +[[bip-0044.mediawiki|BIP 44]], but only uses a different purpose value to indicate the different transaction +serialization method. + +<pre> +m / purpose' / coin_type' / account' / change / address_index +</pre> + +For the `purpose`-path level it uses {ThisBipNumber}'.
