BIP: 1 (11/09)
Title: BIP Purpose and Guidelines
Author: Amir Taaki

BIP stands for Bitcoin Improvement Proposal. A BIP is a design document providing information to the Bitcoin community, or describing a new feature for Bitcoin or its processes or environment. The BIP should provide a concise technical specification of the feature and a rationale for the feature.

BIP: 2 (16/02)
Title: BIP process, revised
Author: Luke Dashjr

Because the BIPs are maintained as text files in a versioned repository, their revision history is the historical record of the feature proposal.
This particular BIP replaces BIP 1 with a more well-defined and clear process.

BIP: 31 (12/04)
Layer: Peer Services
Title: Pong message
Author: Mike Hearn <hearn@google.com>

This document describes hierarchical deterministic wallets (or „HD Wallets„): wallets which can be shared partially or entirely with different systems, each with or without the ability to spend coins.
The specification is intended to set a standard for deterministic wallets that can be interchanged between different clients. Although the wallets described here have many features, not all are required by supporting clients.
The specification consists of two parts. In a first part, a system for deriving a tree of keypairs from a single seed is presented. The second part demonstrates how to build a wallet structure on top of such a tree.

Layer: Applications
Title: Mnemonic code for generating deterministic keys
Author: Marek Palatinus, Pavol Rusnak, Aaron Voisine, Sean Bowe

This BIP describes the implementation of a mnemonic code or mnemonic sentence — a group of easy to remember words — for the generation of deterministic wallets.
It consists of two parts: generating the mnemonic and converting it into a binary seed. This seed can be later used to generate deterministic wallets using BIP-0032 or similar methods.

BIP: 42 (14/04)
Layer: Consensus (soft fork)
Title: A finite monetary supply for Bitcoin
Author: Pieter Wuille

This BIP defines a logical hierarchy for deterministic wallets based on an algorithm described in BIP-0032 (BIP32 from now on) and purpose scheme described in BIP-0043 (BIP43 from now on).
This BIP is a particular application of BIP43.
