[Bitcoin-development] String-based Hierarchical Deterministic Keys - Alternative to BIP 32

2012-12-04 Thread Mike Koss
I've implemented an alternative to the BIP 32 proposal. I wanted a system based on a hierarchical string representation (rather than hierarchy of integers as BIP 32 proposes). For example I name keys like this: [hd1.7549].store.1. 1D7GM5dkUtxvGeWgn7SYtanBuyj1MD1EZy [hd1.7549].store.2.
