nondeterministic wallets each change address is randomly generated out of nothing, HD means they are derived from a seed in a way that can be easily recovered if you have the seed
nondeterministic wallets you MUST back up the file, and every new address on it is missing from earlier backups compared to new ones
these are UTXOs private keys
