Blockheight depends on the chain. XPUB is not tied to particular chain/coin. Also there are already cryptocurrencies that do not use blockchain, but directed acyclic graph (DAG) for storing transactions. So it would not be obvious what number to use as a blockheight. OTOH all blockchains contain timestamps in their blocks, so we can use that. -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol "stick" Rusnak CTO, SatoshiLabs _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
