Over time we want to see \"MultiBit Classic\"\ngracefully retire and be fully superseded.\n\nRight now, HD is not out there but there is a lot of work going on between\nwallet developers to harmonise on HD implementation through BIP32/39. The\nresult of that work should see a significant migration away from random\nprivate keys.\n\nThus it would appear likely that by the time this protocol sees widespread\nuse the presence of HD is likely to be rising fast or possibly dominant.\n\nAt MultiBit we anticipate a release of HD code within 2 months, with\nprivate beta occurring within weeks. Trezor and Electrum may be earlier\nthan this. As far as I am aware both Hive and Haskoin are committed to HD.\n\nIf anyone wants early access to the alpha code, let me know and I'll make\nthe arrangements.\n\n\nOn 11 March 2014 14:44, Jeff Garzik \u003cjgarzik at bitpay.com\u003e wrote:\n\n\u003e (#include \u003crant.h\u003e)\n\u003e\n\u003e Right now, HD is hot air.
