Can I add inputs from different accounts coming from the same Bitcoin HDWallet?

0

Say I have 1000 users, each one with its own account with paths m/49'/0'/{user.id}', and I am controlling received/sent funds.

Could I collect all the funds (i.e. inputs) in a sole fat transaction output even though they belong to different accounts of the same HD Wallet?

note that since you are using hardened keys at the user level public derivation won't be possible. if you instead use non-hardened keys at that level you can store the xpub for m/49'/0'/ on the server and and derive addresses for user level accounts. it's safer than storing the xpriv on a server which you would need to do for hardened derivation. – Abdussamad – 2019-10-22T15:18:28.787

It might be, but that'd deviate from the standard, which would make the wallet much harder to export and manipulate in a different scenario, isn't it? – Molina – 2019-10-22T16:28:41.287

Yes. Each input has its own signature with which to sign, so as long as you possess the private keys (or a master private key above the account level), you can add those inputs into any transaction you want.
