描述
If you want to use an external, multi-coin hardware wallet to safeguard your Neptune coins, then you quickly run into problems. Here is a probably incomplete and possibly inaccurate summary.
- Basically all wallets support BIP-32 in some or other capacity and this simply does not apply to Neptune because we don't use elliptic curves.
- Users may want to use the same 24 words they have already backed up for other cryptocurrencies to backup the Neptune Cash holdings also. However,
neptune-clionly supports 18-word seed phrases, and it will likely fail if you omit the last 6 words. Or alternatively, users who are appropriately distrustful of their machines may want to generate the seed on a secure hardware device and then copy it over by first exporting it as 24 BIP-39 words. These hardware devices rarely support the non-standard option of 18 words. - BIP-39 has optional passphrases, which we do not support. In fact, supporting optional passphrases would mean either importing SHA2-512 or breaking the standard and use Tip5 instead. I tend to prefer the former option as the relevant mechanics take place before conversion to
BFieldElements. - There is a standard for deriving a coin-specific master seed from a multi-coin übermaster seed: BIP-44/SLIP-44. Multi-coin hardware wallets generally support this standard and supply the coin-specific master seed to the wallet software.
If that summary is accurate, I derive the following tasks:
- support importing 24-word BIP-39 seed phrases
- support BIP-39 passwords
- register a SLIP-44 derivation number
- support import-and-derive-key via SLIP-44 derivation path
