We are still far from main stream adoption.

I recently wanted to test / check my seed phrase for my #blockstream #jade wallet. Just to make sure I didn’t have a typo somewhere. Turns out you can’t do that. I had to move all the funds, wipe the device, setup from scratch and generate a new seed phrase. I wrote that down like four or five times to make sure.

Then, when I tested the seed phrase on Sparrow wallet I could only see one account balance. I have three accounts on the device.

There zero documentation that I could find explaining I needed to change the derivation path to access the funds from each account. Zero.

I stumbled upon the solution quite by accident. I now have added the paths to the seed phrase for future use, that I hope I will never need.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the Jade and it’s a great device. But, while I’m no dev, I do run a full BTC node, and LN node, #alby hub, using #btcpayserver to invoice clients in bitcoin, etc.

But, if I had lost my #jade and needed to restore the wallet I would have needed help to access all the accounts. This is not how it should be.
