Haskoin Wallet

Haskoin Wallet (hw) is a lightweight BIP44 command line wallet for bitcoin and bitcoin-cash. It can be used to manage cold storage funds in an online/offline environment. It requires a haskoin-store server for querying addresses and transactions. It is suitable for small-ish wallets that are managed by hand although work is being done to improve performance.

Critical Bugs

  • Versions prior to 0.8.0 do not derive the correct accounts when using more than one mnemonic (not the --split option, but different wallets). For example, creating an account with mnemonic 1 yields account /44'/0'/0'. If you then create an account using mnemonic 2, it yields the account /44'/0'/1'. As it is a new mnemonic and thus a new wallet, it should yield account /44'/0'/0'. Your funds are still secure and not lost but you should write down the account derivation that you are using for reference if you need to recover it. This bug is fixed in version 0.8.0.

  • Version 0.7.0 does not derive the correct account when using a --split mnemonic. Your funds are still secure and not lost but you should use the 0.7.0 binary to move your funds to a new wallet created with the latest release.
