version numbers. Version numbers are user visible, with the version numbers. The new version numbers encode the script type,
following prefixes: and they result in the following prefixes:
* xpub/xprv : p2pkh or p2sh * xpub/xprv : p2pkh or p2sh
* ypub/yprv : p2wpkh-in-p2sh * ypub/yprv : p2wpkh-in-p2sh
* Ypub/Yprv : p2wsh-in-p2sh * Ypub/Yprv : p2wsh-in-p2sh
* zpub/zprv : p2wpkh * zpub/zprv : p2wpkh
* Zpub/Zprv : p2wsh * Zpub/Zprv : p2wsh
These values are identical for mainnet and testnet; tpub/tprv
prefixes are no longer used in testnet wallets.
- The Wallet Import Format (WIF) is similarly extended. After a
base58-encoded key is decoded to binary, its first byte encodes
