Seed phrases
Now why do not we generate a seedphrase from the pockets.dat and vice versa for extra flexibility, agility and safety.
I do not know – however possibly it is as a result of seed phrases arguably have much less flexibility, much less agility and much less safety.
-
Seed phrases do not restore imported keys and so could be much less protected for inexperienced or incautious customers.
-
Seed phrases do not restore descriptors and so haven’t got sufficient flexibility to revive the kinds of deal with in use for every derived key.
-
Seed phrases do not restore labels or different kinds of metadata that is perhaps necessary to some individuals.
-
Seed phrases do not restore the pockets passphrase used to securely encrypt contents.
So, though extra expertise individuals might don’t have any issues in coping with these, it’s controversial that restoring from a seed phrase could be much less safe and is not versatile sufficient to deal with imported keys and many others with out further work.
I think seed-phrases are a great factor when you do not use or want further flexibility and safety. Their finest characteristic is their shortness, enabling restoration from info that may be stamped onto fireproof steel. Perhaps that is what you imply by agility?
I do not work on Bitcoin core or observe the developer discussions so there could also be fully totally different causes influencing the absence of seed-phrases in Bitcoin core.
