Suggest adding Default address column #37

In order to recover the user needs to try a few address types (if unknown). It would be great to have all this info already available. For starters we can use this matrix

I'll create a PR if @nvk OKs it.

Many of these wallets will have more than one default no?

Maybe we should create another page called WALLET-DETAILS.MD and add an extra for each there. They would be longer and deep linked into each wallet section. Alternatively a doc file for each wallets/WALLETNAME.MD

By default I mean whatever address type you get when you hit "Receive". It's usually just one type as seen on the above compatibility matrix. So for Trezor it's P2SH-P2WPKH but for Samourai P2WPKH and so on. Whatever type the user needs to select to have the greatest chance of recovery in Electrum (or similar software)

I agree yet another column will make this table a bit less readable and packed though so maybe a details page for each wallet is a better option. I'll create a PR for another column and then you can decide.

Uncertain how helpful that would be as wallets change their defaults as they progress. Maybe in this extended page/file we could have "Expected default addresses for this wallet:"
