To clarify: BIP64 has a much stricter definition for accounts than BIP32. In BIP32, it is not well specified what accounts are used for. They can be used for "subwallets", "receive accounts" (as in bitcoind's account feature), "recurring payments", part of a chain used as multisig addresses, ... determined individually for each index. In BIP64, they are strictly used for subwallets, and can't be used by anything else. -- Pieter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start Your Social Network Today - Download eXo Platform Build your Enterprise Intranet with eXo Platform Software Java Based Open Source Intranet - Social, Extensible, Cloud Ready Get Started Now And Turn Your Intranet Into A Collaboration Platform http://p.sf.net/sfu/ExoPlatform _______________________________________________ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
