05:24:42 | ebfull: | i'm struggling to understand how a client implementing HD wallets can know what addresses to watch in advance, when there are an infinite number of addresses that can be generated deterministically |
05:33:18 | jcorgan: | usually, the owner of the hierachical wallet will only issue receivin addresses one after the other, so the wallet software only scans "ahead" by a few keys to see if there are any transactions |
06:36:20 | maaku: | ebfull: either there is some system by which the addresses are generated in sequence (e.g. incrementing nonce) and you only look a few ahead |
06:38:35 | maaku: | or you encode (a portion of) the path in the the payment invoice or the transaction itself (a la stealth addresses, although its not very stealthy in this form) |
06:39:19 | maaku: | in most cases you don't expect to receive payments generated from random paths |
