I cannot come up with an usecase where "path" parameter would be needed. FWIW childnumber and depth are already expressed in xpub itself. I like the general idea of "subchains" parameter, but I would like to further specify it: a) parameter should contain values described as comma separated list of values (such as 0,1,2,3,4) b) consecutive values can be shortened via dash (0,1,2,3 == 0-3) c) should we allow non-consecutive values (e.g. 0,1,3,8)? I am not sure. If not the "subchains" param can contain just upper bound of indexes to scan (e.g. "3") d) a wallet uses just the first specified chain to generate receiving addresses, uses the other chains just to add to the balance OR should a wallet be able to generate receiving address for second, third, etc. external chain? if yes, we should split "subchains" param into "external" and "internal" params both containing a list of numbers. this seems like an overkill to me and I am fine with using just the first chain as the external one. > Why not have more descriptive parameters?

I am not against Unix timestamps, I just said I expected something else there. Unix timestamps have a lot of advantages. Another option that might make sense is the block number. -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol Rusnak <st...@gk2.sk> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
