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)

Both should work again with the update. But on a different wallet than the Ledger Wallet application of course.


Do you mean greenaddress and greenbits? And do you mean with the next update of the android and chrome apps or update of HW1 firmware?

Sounds good. On the software side the only app I can use is myLedger. I really hope you guys get an android based client working over OTG cable. So far greenbits hasn't worked and greenaddress hasn't worked and I can't get electrum setup with btchip support.

Mycelium support is also coming, that one will be fully compatible with Ledger Wallet (same addresses derived)

My main use case is for cold storage so I don't have to keep making paper wallets. Being able to withdraw from that without a computer would still be nice though.

Glad to hear that. We'll make it easier for the next updates. Also GreenAddress support is moving forward, on time for the beginning of the week.

Sorry, the update process is a bit flaky right now. Posting here since it can help other users.

If you want to use it with GreenAddress, don't upgrade yet. The latest changes to support the new firmware have not been merged yet. That should happen soon.

If you upgraded without a Security Card and want to use it with Ledger, you'll need to reset it the hard way. To do that, visit https://fupbeta.hardwarewallet.com/old/ledger - perform an update (without the security card), approve the override, then remove the dongle while the progress bar is moving in the longest "Flashing Application" sequence. Then go back to https://fup.hardwarewallet.com and enter a Security Card ID (that you can print yourself) before uploading.

This will get sorted very soon.

This more or less worked. Thanks.

@btchip I got an hw1 in the mail. Tried everything and can't get it to work. You prefer troubleshooting here or by email or irc? (or are you even the right person to contact?)

Hi! I maybe able to help you. Can you give more details please?

• Which wallet are you trying to use with HW. 1?
• Which OS?

I suggest you to use Electrum 2.0 or Multibit beta wallet or GreenAddress. You may also use BTChip API.

I'll still email support, but basically greenaddress chrome app doesn't see my hw1 as being connected to have a seed written to it or to create its own entropy.

I then did a firmware upgrade.

I then tried greenaddress again and it didn't work. Since hw1 and ledger are identical after the latest firmware, I tried myledger. It sees the device then later says it's not supported. Support site/faq says this means it was flashed without a "security card" (which I believe is a ledger-specific thing). I tried reflashing with a security card seed but it didn't help.

All was done initially on Linux with chromium (yes I added the udev rules). I then tried everything in Windows 8 with chrome and got the same result.

Oh. A bit too early then Smiley

Thanks for the heads up. ETA?

I'd say a few weeks. Everything is more or less done on my side regarding physical devices, just need to add support for our upcoming TEE application.

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
When it's possible to order the cards? I prefer it more than the USB stick.

The cards have always been available but they are still a USB device.

He is maybe talking about Ledger Blue?

Multibit is not integrated yet. We did Mycelium first.

Can anybody list the dependencies so that I can install them one by one? If the dependencies are pre-installed, it will be skipped when running the setup right?

If nobody is at it before I do, I'll have a look in the coming weeks. The Python implementation has some annoying low level bugs (related to the HID support) that need to be addressed.

P.S. What can we do with signTxArmory?

Initially perform multi signature with Armory lockboxes, but we run into an issue regarding compressed keys support in P2SH scripts when this was done (circa October 2014) which prevented us from moving forward. I don't know what's the status nowadays.

Does hw1/ledger/greenaddress work on chromium instead of chrome? Wasn't sure if this is a btchip question or a greenaddress question...

yes, everything should work fine on Chromium. The USB connectivity extensions are present in both versions.

yes, it's possible. It's not widely used so far, but you can find some examples in https://github.com/BitMEX/btchip-signing-tools for example.

Error. Obviously because of the slow internet.

Code:
Processing dependencies for btchip-signer==0.1
Searching for python-dateutil
Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/python-dateutil/
error: The read operation timed out

Sounds great. Being able to easily load up xpub into mycelium, the ledger companion app, or btcrecieve (which the trezor folks have rebranded into the "my trezor lite" app) would make it much easier to receive funds to new addresses in the hd wallet without needing the device connected. Definitely something I would think most users would be interested in, especially if btchip-based devices are being used for cold storage and kept in a safe, not readily accessible place.
