I've bought a couple of HW1, both with the old firmware. I've tried to update one to the latest version with success (througt the fup.hardwarewallet.com tool). I've tried to initialize it, but now is stuck after the generation of the seed, in the part when i should unplug it and plug with an open text editor to backup my seed. Basically everytime that i try to plug in this HW1 it's recognized as keyboard, but it does not output the seed, or at least return in the standard mode :/

Is there any way to get a security card for an original HW card so that it can be used with the ledger wallet chrome app?
You should be able to create one in the firmware update process.
Yes, there's a link to do that at https://fup.hardwarewallet.com/buildKeycard.html

A 15 eur device will be far more appealing to new/novice Bitcoin users I'd say 
yes, it has been hiding in plain sight for too long I guess

Sounds great!

You can now purchase HW.1 directly from the Ledger Wallet shop

At the very least a simple way to export xpub.
you will be able to do that soon with the high level API - https://github.com/LedgerHQ/ledger-wallet-api and we also plan to add it in the Chrome app later
Cool. It's not a must have for me personally at this moment, but it will certainly make things easier.

So I've been testing the HW1 with myLedger, greenaddress, and greenbits. So far I'm very happy with it. My only real sore point is not being able to generate receiving address without the device connected and unlocked. There needs to be an easy way to do this. Maybe integrating it into the Ledger 2FA app or at the very least a simple way to export xpub.

Good to know. So it won't matter if I use greenaddress, myLedger, or the chip itself to generate the entropy and seed?
yes, same thing, even if you use some external API, you just need to make sure to include the feature NO_2FA_P2SH to be compatible with GreenAddress/GreenBits.

It works with the older firmware. Apparently the new firmware broke it and Green Address has not updated the app yet to fix what is broken.
it's ok now, the new GreenAddress version fixes that.
Been playing around with the newest greenaddress this morning and it works (version 0.0.66, downloaded directly from github).
After initializing with greenaddress, the hw1 then works fine in greenbits.
I then tried to log in with myLedger and it worked, but i think it uses a different address path.

Great, good to know everything is fine.
Some questions: are the greenaddress and myLedger accounts/ addresses using the same seed? So that if I wiped then restored the seed, I could restore my addresses and balances on both myLedger and green address? And is the security card used with myLedger separate from the seed and not reset when entering PIN 3 times?
yes to all of that. If you want to change your security card, you either have to reflash the firmware, or to use a user side function which is not properly documented yet - https://ledgerhq.github.io/btchip-doc/bitcoin-technical.html#_set_user_keycard

Yes, GreenAddress in Chrome store. Haven't you tried Electrum? It is easy and it works well.
I was unable to get btchip support working.

GreenAddress and GreenBits yes. Since they are multisig they operate on a different key hierarchy.
I mean the next update of those apps. The firmware is ok.
Actually, GreenAddress update has been pushed on desktop. So if you create/restore a new wallet with it, you should be able to use it on desktop, then to use it with GreenBits (GreenAddress Android is not pushed yet)

Sorry for so many questions, by do you mean greenaddress in chrome store?
