Sparrow: add BIP47 and Whirlpool paths #210

Closed ottosch closed 1 month ago

ottosch commented 4 months ago

Sparrow has implemented BIP47 and Whirlpool:

The wallet software uses different derivation paths to achieve the separate wallets. Derivation paths use different numbers to represent different details about the key path: “m / purpose' / coin_type' / identity'.” In the example below, the deposit wallet can handle a variety of address types, hence the “m/44'|m/49'|m/84'|m/47'” for each of the different purposes. The pre-mix, post-mix and bad bank wallets only handle the “m/84'” purpose.

I think this was dropped.

@nvk, FYI:

In light of recent developments, Sparrow v1.9.0 has been released which removes the Whirlpool client and other Soroban related features. All wallets and accounts are still accessible.

The users who want to recover Bitcoin from PayNym and Whirlpool Accounts don't matter? Many people still have Bitcoin under these derivation paths. I guess if they want to use walletsrecovery.org to recover their funds, they will be shit out of luck.

Happy to merge, I'm not super familiar with this so I thought it wasn't useful anymore
