The OS in this case is OSX (17.7.0 Darwin Kernel Version 17.7.0). In Linux the "path" is shorter.
Starting from version Bitcoin Core v.0.17, It is possible to to retrieve
the Unspent transaction outputs relevant for a set of Output Descriptors
From Bitcoin Core with the scantxoutset
funcion.
To retrieve the outputs relevant for a specific hardware wallet it is necessary:
- to derive the xpub of the hardware wallet until the last hardened level with HWI (because the private key is required)
- To use the obtained xpub to compose the output descriptor
These are some schemas used in hardware wallets, with the data necessary to build the appropriate output descriptor:
Used schema | hardened path | further derivation | Otput type |
---|---|---|---|
BIP44 | m/44h/0h/0h | /0/* and /1/* | pkh() |
BIP49 | m/49h/0h/0h | /0/* and /1/* | sh(wpkh()) |
BIP84 | m/84h/0h/0h | /0/* and /1/* | wpkh() |
NOTE:
-
We could also use "combo()" in all cases as "Output Type" because it is a "bundle" which includes pk(KEY) and pkh(KEY). If the key is compressed, it also includes wpkh(KEY) and sh(wpkh(KEY)).
-
It is possible to specify how many outputs to search for by setting the maximum index of the derivation with the "range" key. In the examples it is set to 100.
-
The output of all the search is zero outputs (the hardware wallet is empty).
