Has there ever been an example of a problem with the derivation pathway used to generate an address?
Recently, leishman (npub139n…kwf4) mentioned a precaution used by river is to never hodl a large number of bitcoins in an address that has not previously been spent from. This guarantees you actually have the private key used to generate the address.
Although you sacrifice privacy, I understand the point.
What if one of the addresses along the deriv path is faulty?
Are there protections against this built into the key managers?
Any thoughts?
