Title: Is there a wallet software that can import a list of derivation paths?
Post by: buhrmi on June 29, 2019, 01:20:24 AM
Hello all,

I was wandering if there is a software that can automatically import a list of derivation paths, using a private key stored in TREZOR as the root.

For example, I have a list of paths like `m/4/0`, `m/44/23`, `m/59/2/4`, all derived from the BIP44 master xpub stored on TREZOR, and would like to import them all into a wallet to easily allow batch transactions. Is there a wallet that can do this?

Cheers,
buhrmi

Do you need it to support different coins? as the paths you are showing don't appear to be standard "BTC" derivation paths...

If you just need it to support just BTC, you could probably write a script to generate the necessary wallets in Electrum (on Linux or MacOSX) using the commandline. (NOTE: Commandline not available on Windows)... but given that most wallets don't even allow for customisation of the derivation path, I doubt you'll find any that will let you do it "automatically" from a list.

as i explained in the duplicate topic that got deleted, since this is not a common thing that wallets allow you to do when they create a wallet you will never normally end up with wallets in these paths so there is no wallet or tool that supports what you want.

your only option is to do what HCP said with a script, or if the number of private keys isn't that high (like having less than 10 keys with balance in them) then use a tool like Ian Coleman's BIP39 and get individual private keys, then create a brand new wallet and sweep all of them there and don't repeat the same mistake of creating many wallets with paths like this.
run that tool offline by downloading it from source here: https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39

Thanks for the tip with Electrum Wallet. Didn't know it was open source. Should be easy enough to add this feature myself :)
