what about a tutorial for Ledger Wallet (HW.1, Nano), anyone?
Unfortunately, it is not possible yet to sign a message with a Ledger Wallet and its
Chrome appThe "sign a message" feature is in development (roadmap:
https://trello.com/c/xMK8hj9r)
It's possible since you can use your Ledger Nano - (or Nano S) with Electrum.
I've made a tutorial for Ledger Nano S with Electrum
Please send me your feedback
Tutorial: linking Ledger wallet Nano S to Byteball account via signing a message with ElectrumStep 1: Install and configure Electrum wallet- Download and install latest version of Electrum:
electrum.org/#download- Select Standard wallet
- Connect your Nano S to your computer, enter the PIN and select the Bitcoin app
- Then select "Use a hardware device"
- Your Nano S is detected
- Press Next, and select your Account Number. If you are not sure, leave the field with 0, otherwise enter the index of the account you want to import.
- Click on Next, and Electrum will sync your account. Depending on your connection and the server, it may take from a few minutes to half an hour.
- Once the sync process is finished, you can use Electrum normally.
Step 2: Get a NEW bitcoin addressOn Electrum:- Click on "Receive" tab
- Copy your "Receiving address"
Step 3: Move your bitcoins to your NEW addressOn Electrum:- Click on "Send" tab
- Paste your receiving address (from step 2) into "Pay to" field
- Enter the amount you want to transfer (you can send the maximum possible amount by pressing the "Max" button)
- Select the Fee amount
- Click on "Send"
- Validate the transaction on your device (Nano S)
Step 4: Install and launch Byteball wallet- Download Byteball wallet from
byteball.org (make sure it is the LIVENET version)
- Install Byteball wallet
- Open Byteball wallet
- Click on the link provided by
byteball.org to launch the Transition Bot
- Click on "Insert my address" then on "Send"
- Enter your bitcoin address (the one from Step 2) and click on "Send"
Step 5: Sign a message (your Byteball address) with your Bitcoin addressOn Electrum:- Click on "Tools" --> "Sign/verify message"
- Paste your Byteball address (from step 4) into the "Message" field
- Paste your Bitcoin address (from step 2) into the "Address" field
- Click on "Sign"
- Validate the signature on your device (Nano S)
- The signature should now appear on the "Signature" field, copy it
Step 6: Link your Byteball address with your bitcoin address- In Byteball wallet, paste the signature (from step 5) and click on "Send"
- You should get a confirmation from the Transition Bot with your current balance on your bitcoin address
Note: If you spend some of your bitcoins, you will have to repeat Step 3, so that your bitcoins are always on the
linked bitcoin address

Hello, when trying this and getting to the step where I sign my byteball address with my electrum wallet. When I try to validate the signing (it says to remove and replace the ledger wallet and it will come back as a keyboard and type something in a note pad, but this does not happen, on either of my computers). Secondly, when I try to sign any message, it says that "unfortunately this message can not be signed with ledger wallet. Only 140 alphanumerical characters are allowed, please delete all tabs, spaces ,etc and retry" but there is no special characters.
I've even tried signing the message "hello" with the same issues. Whats going on here?
Thank you.
Also, I can't verify by sending from address because my ledger wallet chaanges addresses with each send, even though I have it checked off on electrum.
Thank you.
