MnemonicHdNode implements the WalletHdNode from jellyfish-wallet. HdNode implementations is purpose and derivation agnostic.
In #555 a significant change was done to
"@muirglacier/jellyfish-wallet-mnemonic". Part of the BIP32 specification literature defines the use of HMAC-SHA512.
"Calculate I = HMAC-SHA512(Key = "Bitcoin seed", Data = S)"
. The Key
in this implementation was updated
to "@muirglacier/jellyfish-wallet-mnemonic"
. Although a novel idea at that time, this, unfortunately, created
incompatibilities with other 24-word providers.
Detailed in this issue https://github.com/DeFiCh/wallet/issues/726, where one explores a conscious bank owner that takes extra measures to guarantee the safety of his assets. A large part of the change was motivated by that narrative, although that narrative comes from the best intention of the developer for the safety of users' funds. Many users see it as an annoyance more than anything else.
