What am I missing? How to iterate derivation path to get new address every time?

Derivation path follows this convention:

m / purpose' / coin_type' / account' / change / address_index

So you can increase address_index from 0 to get new addresses from same mnemonic.

  • yeah i know that but i don't want to do that manually every time Commented Mar 29, 2019 at 6:12
  • i want to itearate index on every request by it self i am stuck in that Commented Mar 29, 2019 at 6:13
  • That sounds like a good use for a backend database :-) Each time you call this routine, do an atomic table update to get the next index. Your index can have really large numbers so it should keep working for a long time. Commented Jul 17, 2019 at 19:53
