I played around with a few Bitcoin wallets to test them and recover via seed phrase in different wallets. When I tried a nostr:nprofile1qqsfy229w70e8lgtxavlz9t78k06yrel6fxyhreteafqet8kfxhhwmg2c6av2 Jade, I could add another account but when I put in the seed phrase in another wallet the sub account is not found. I've tried blue wallet and nunchuck. What am I missing? #Asknostr #Bitcoin

You mean with the Green app? Aren’t these sub accounts different address formats? (Legacy vs segwit)

Yeah, green wallet. Not sure. They are a BIP32, but I thought that if you put the master key in another wallet it would find all sub accounts.

The derivation path for Green is m/84'/0'/0' or m/49'/0'/0' and Blue uses m/44'/0'/0' and Nunchuk uses m/84'/0'/0'

So I'm guessing that your using m/49'.... and the other wallets aren't seeing it

I had no idea this mattered. Where do I learn about this?

Unchained has a good article about them https://unchained.com/blog/bitcoin-derivation-paths/

If you have sparrow you can manually enter them when you import a wallet so you can really mess around and look for your account
