Title: Ledger: "Lightning is not in the short term roadmap for the moment" Post by: hugeblack on August 17, 2019, 12:33:28 PM Is there really feasibility of applying a lightning network using Hardware wallets, @Ledger said that [1] so but there are many who supported this approach.
I just wanted to move the discussion to this forum. You can support it using reddit.com ---> Upvote this if you want Ledger Live to add Lightning support. (https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/cr3sot/upvote_this_if_you_want_ledger_live_to_add/) I do not know if this can be used for stores and how it will reduce safety but is not meant for personal use.

1. request a channel open 2. receive channel address to pay into 3. fund from hardware wallet pretty easy Title: Re: Ledger: "Lightning is not in the short term roadmap for the moment" Post by: Carlton Banks on August 18, 2019, 05:53:58 PM well, that's basically saying "hardware wallets can't be used practicably as a hot wallet", which will always be true. You could do it (in theory), but it would mean manually signing everything, so you couldn't realistically route payments.
what I meant was, you can skip the stage where you fund the hot wallet, c-lightning negotiate the channel opening with a Lightning peer, and just fail it if you don't fund the opening transaction |
