I'll try to play with the js API, then see if I can understand what is happening...

In Windows Device Manager it will show up as an HID (Human Interface Device). The computer sees it as a keyboard. It will not show up under the USB tab.

Is there any support of java or C/C++ API for recent version : Ledger Nano S ?
I've seen Javascript and chrome embeded version, not well documented, but for C/C++ or java, it is only BTChip obsolete version...
Github have much projects, but documentation is brutal... It seems all i need would be a "Howto" setup the dev env, a helloworld for the HID transport layer, and a reference documentation for the service (the app managing the secondary passphrase). BTChip java APi was good enought, so i could contact the Nano via WinUSB+usb4java, but even getFirmwareVersion is not compatible...

Is there any way to claim bitcoin gold from ledger nano / hw.1 segwit address ?
Good question, i got in touch with ledger support, nobody was able to give a precise answer. I would not buy a ledger device again!!!They keep ignoring me. Well then.. Ordered the new Trezor T.

I wanted to buy a Ledger Nano S to replace my HW1, but the only shipping option is UPS express for 179.04 € !
What's up with that? Can't remember the shipping cost on my HW1, but it was a lot more reasonable.

They may be having a glitch with their shopping cart or your country is one where shipping options are limited. Have you checked prices in Amazon?
Yeah, maybe there was a glitch with their shopping cart. Shipping is now down to €50.03, which is still crazy compared to the cost of the ledger itself, but is probably the correct order of magnitude for what UPS actually charges.
The third party resellers on Amazon ask US$154. They probably only get away with this because direct purchases will only ship a month later, and cost so much in shipping.
I wish Ledger offered lower cost shipping services to Asia.

Why can't I sign a simple message with the Ledger ? I signed the same message using mycelium with no problem..

I've been having this problem for several versions now. I can't use Electrum with my HW.1 at all.
March 10, 2017, 02:39:14 PM
I've tried many times to setup the dongle via the python API but when i try to sign transactions with electrum I always get stuck. May I ask if the dev has a setup command that works with the standard verification via unplugging and plugging the btchip?

Till now, for me, this is hands down the best hardware wallet that offers security at a decent price. Security trade-off exists even with premium devices like trezor that use a proprietary controller, so to me it makes no sense to invest more money than 20 euros for a device that you should trust at least a little.
I'm trying to fix the compatibility issue with the last firmware and electrum (basically electrum btchip-python doesn't support the security card feature, so the device get stuck when signing a transaction). At the moment i need to use the python console to sign transaction and it's really a pain.

I usually have to re-pair my phone with the hw wallet when that happens with my hw.1. No longer an issue with my nano s

dont know if this is the official ledger forum but last week i tried to use my verified phone and ledger wallet to send some but it kept hanging on the last phase waiting on verify the phone. rebooted both the phone and pc but it kept the same. had to use the card any tips to fix this?

What firmware version are/were you running on the HW-1
Can you show the USB bus report for the HW-1
Ledger Wallet:
Product ID
Power cycle your HW-1 and see if the Product ID changes.

I have an HW.1 that is no longer recognized by the computer. Something must have gone wrong during initialization with Electrum.
I think I had unplugged it as instructed and was trying to display the seed in my text editor on an offline computer, but nothing was ever displayed. Now it is not recognized in ANY computer. I've tried the chrome app, the ledger starter iso, and https://fup.hardwarewallet.com/ledger/, and none of them are aware that I have plugged the device in. My other two HW.1 are detected normally.
Is there any way to recover it? Thanks

You should get them when clicking on Settings / Tools / Export Logs, but since it appeared, it might just have been a temporary mempool glitch, as we're still tweaking servers a bit.
I'll let you know if it ever happens again
Great product, even better to see you're active on the forum, and responding to questions your users have: +1
