# Custom signet without importprivkey

(Asked by: username_0 on 2024-08-31)

To deploy a custom signet miner the instructions at <https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Signet> rely on the deprecated importprivkey rpc method.

Is there an alternative approach so that the private key can be seeded or imported so <https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/signet/miner> script can still be used?

In the end I just enabled legacy wallets with the setting below:

```
deprecatedrpc=create_bdb

```

It would still be good to know if a custom signet can be enabled with Bitcoin Core's default HD wallets.
