  • If your project is sufficiently developed it would be great to see it published on GitHub.

A wallet is not the same as an address. A wallet is a collection of addresses. Wallets usually also contain the private keys for the addresses and any relevant transactions.

You can get as many addresses from bitcoind as you want with getnewaddress and they will all be part of the same wallet. Any coins sent to those addresses will be part of your wallet.

Also, Bitcoin Core is an HD wallet, but there is no need for you to have an HD wallet to do what you want. HD wallets are only relevant for backups.

  • The private keys are your private keys, not the users private keys. They are part of your site's wallet. The user should never be giving you any private keys, nor should you be giving users any private keys. They are depositing money into your website; the money is yours.
