Title: Does bitcoind support deterministic wallets?
Post by: arosca on September 19, 2014, 01:58:31 PM
Is possible to use a deterministic wallet with the reference client at https://bitcoin.org/en/download? I know Armory can generate a deterministic wallet, but it's not clear to me if/how I can do the same with bitcoind.

Thanks!

Only if you write your own software to generate and maintain your private keys.

If you do that, then your software can interface with bitcoind to communicate with the bitcoin network.

Makes sense, thanks!
