The addresses for Bitcoin testnet is incorrect.

Description

After comparison with many other Bitcoin wallets, I found that the addresses for Bitcoin testnet which generated by UniSat wallet is different with others; such as Electrum, Sparrow and so on.

I think the derivation path which UniSat wallet used is incorrect.

Please read this section of BIP-0044:

• The derivation path for Bitcoin testnet should be m / ${N}' / 1' / 0' / 0 / 0 .
• But in UniSat wallet, the format of derivation paths for Bitcoin testnet is m / ${N}' / 0' / 0' / 0 / 0 .

Not only is it incorrect, if you do send coins to them they show a zero balance in the UI. I think they're gone forever.

yes, we used different derivation path.
you could restore the same testnet address with custom path as below, when restore.

@nardholio about the balance issue, sometimes the indexer indeed has some issue, you could report to us, our dev will fix it asap.

it eventually showed up. took almost a day though

we used different derivation path.

So, can I just say Unisat wallet is NOT a BIP-compatible wallet.

you could restore the same testnet address with custom path as below, when restore.

Also, I can do it with other wallets, or I could write my own code to use that wallet.

No offense intended, I just wanted to emphasize that this non-standard are dangerous for users who don't understand the technical details.

A bit irresponsible.

I have no more question, you can close this issue.

We have noticed this issue, and we are looking for the right time to make adjustments. We hope to be compatible with BIP-0044 while maintaining the previous address format.

I am encountering the same issue as previously reported, and it remains unresolved, which is concerning
