Import Descriptors into Ord Wallets #3050

Open gpatkinson opened 9 months ago

gpatkinson commented 9 months ago

The documentation for sat hunting mentions that ord wallet is now to be used for wrapping a bitcoin core wallet. When following the docs, it appears that bitcoin-cli created wallets will no longer be able to be used for sat hunting. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, there is not option for importing descriptors into an ord-generated wallet, only mnemonics. This is obviously not a great idea for anyone's cold holdings.

Did I miss this option? Is there a way to generate a watch-only wallet with a descriptor using ord like the documentation shows for the deprecated bitcoin-cli method?

Just added #3048 yesterday :). Will be in the next release but good idea to also add something to the docs. I''ll have to check if it works with watch-only though.

Oh cool, hadn't noticed that. I'll build it and try it out. Will also try to put a PR to update the relevant docs page if that's helpful. Many thanks to you and the team for this software!
