Sorry, I have a small OT question about this:
I thought all wallets were HD wallets. But I think I misunderstood something. Legacy wallets newly created with Bitcoin Core are HD wallets, but the old ones from 10 years ago are/were not, right?
Seems on-topic to me.
Yes, but the actual timeline is about 7years and 2months ago.
It's implemented in Bitcoin Core version 0.13.0. (
November 2, 2016)
Here's the link to version0.13.0 release notes:
