If that is the case, the wallet is not following the standard. The =
wallet hierarchy standards like BIP44 specify how to walk an address =
chain. They all specify that you should keep going until you don=92t =
find any more used keys within the lookup window. If a wallet leaves =
gaps that are too big, that is also not compliant.

In any case, if the sweeping wallet understands how the =93old=94 wallet =
uses the hierarchy, it can be safely swept without a potential loss of =
funds.

Yes, wallets with more addresses take more time to process.

[5]

Some wallets do and for those that don=92t, implementing it is straight =
forward if it already implements BIP32. It=92s just a matter of knowing =
how the old wallet uses the hierarchy and prioritizing the work.

Both TREZOR and KeepKey have developed strategies to prevent MITM =
attacks during seed recovery. TREZOR asks for the words in a random =
order and in some cases, adds =92noise=92 words. KeepKey uses a rotating =
substitution cipher.

I don=92t think it is as hard as you think. If a wallet uses BIP32 HD, =
all of the hard code is already implemented. It is just a matter of =
stringing the correct sequence of steps together.

Also, if the new hierarchy is under a separate purpose code as specified =
in BIP43, there is no need to create new seed. The BIP44 hierarchy and =
the new hierarchy can be extended from the same seed.
