Use m/49' instead of m/44' for SegWit addresses #9

This slip39 tool uses a derivation path starting with m/44' for both legacy and SegWit addresses, for both BTC and LTC. This is different from other major wallets, which use m/49' for SegWit addresses. Is this discrepancy an oversight, or a deliberate design decision?

Thanks for finding this; sorry I have taken so long to get to it! I'll be integrating some of your changes into the development branch ASAP!

No worries. Let me know if you have any question.
