Peercoin extended key prefix? (BIP32)

Protocol
1

For consisten BIP32 wallet generation, a public and private extended key prefix should be used.
Does anyone know which ones to use for Peercoin?

As far as I know, nobody has proposed standard prefixes for Peercoin yet.

I’d follow mably’s lead and use the original values

Thanks guys, this is exactly what I needed to know.

I don’t get why we need different prefixes for different networks anyway.
For Addresses I understand, but for these extended keys, these shouldn’t be user facing.

Any way we can formalize this decision?
Or do we just provide this answer to anyone posing the question?

Thanks!

I agree. There already is BIP44 which defines how to derive altcoins from a master extended key. I don’t think any altcoin should change the extended pubkeys prefix.
