It is crucial that the index is increased for each new wallet joined or private/public keys created; for both privacy and cryptographic purposes.

For example, in multisignature wallets, before sending a new key record to a coordinator, the wallet must increment the <code>account'</code> level. Before creating it's own single signature wallet, the <code>account'</code> level must again be incremented.
