==Account discovery==
115-
116-
When the master seed is imported from an external source the software should
117-
start to discover the accounts in the following manner:
118-
119-
* derive the first accounts node (index = 0)
120-
* derive the external chain node of this account
121-
* scan addresses of the external chain; respect the gap limit described below
122-
* if no transactions are found on the external chain, stop discovery
123-
* if there are some transactions, increase the account index and go to step 1
124-
125-
This algorithm is successful because software should disallow creation of new
126-
accounts if previous one has no transaction history, as described in chapter
127-
"Account" above.
128-
129-
Please note that the algorithm works with the transaction history, not account
130-
balances, so you can have an account with 0 total coins and the algorithm will
131-
still continue with discovery.

===Address gap limit===
134-
135-
Address gap limit is currently set to 20. If the software hits 20 unused
136-
addresses in a row, it expects there are no used addresses beyond this point
137-
and stops searching the address chain. We scan just the external chains, because
138-
internal chains receive only coins that come from the associated external chains.
139-
140-
Wallet software should warn when the user is trying to exceed the gap limit on
141-
an external chain by generating a new address.
