@ -767,7 +767,7 @@ BIP0044 specifies the structure as consisting of five predefined tree levels:
+m / purpose' / coin_type' / account' / change / address_index+
The first level "purpose" is always set to +44'+. The second level "coin_type" specifies the type of crypto-currency coin, allowing for multicurrency HD wallets where each currency has its own subtree under the second level. There are three currencies defined for now: Bitcoin is m/44'/0', Bitcoin Testnet is m/44'/1′ and Litecoin is m/44'/2′.
The first level "purpose" is always set to +44'+. The second level "coin_type" specifies the type of crypto-currency coin, allowing for multicurrency HD wallets where each currency has its own subtree under the second level. There are three currencies defined for now: Bitcoin is m/44'/0', Bitcoin Testnet is m/44'/1'; and Litecoin is m/44'/2'.
The third level of the tree is "account," which allows users to subdivide their wallets into separate logical subaccounts, for accounting or organizational purposes. For example, an HD wallet might contain two bitcoin "accounts": m/44'/0'/0' and m/44'/0'/1'. Each account is the root of its own subtree.
