// public hd wallets cannot derive private keysNotice: if you create public/private hd wallet from a pair of master extended keys
they will be associated with each other, which means a private key derived at m/44'/654'/0'/0'/8 can sign a message
which a public key derived from public hd wallet at m/44'/654'/0'/0'/8 can verify it.
also remember that the standard derivation path for coreblockchain XCB is m/44'/654'/0'/0'
