xpub/ypub/zpub - Correct xpub prefix for Wallet xpub #517

Open shivaenigma opened 3 years ago

shivaenigma commented 3 years ago

Blockchain Segwit wallet that is generating bech32 addresses is still showing xpub starting with prefix xpub . This creates several derivation issues for receive address generation utilites /websites/watch only wallets that use the xpub for address derivation.

Major wallets like electrum/trezor/samouri are already using the xpub version prefix. Also includes projects like btcpay, blockonomics and bitcoinjs-lib
