Wow, this is incredibly simple! I just have to install a new operating system, a ton of software and a development environment and then I get a non-peer-reviewed alpha version of software to protect real money!

What an achievement!

well
better than nothing - definitely not perfect

after the next electrum version this should be fixed

What I would like to know is whether there is really someone working on a serios consumer ready solution of a Dash hardware wallet with masternode support.

And what exactly is "electrum"?

And the argument that after the next version of "XYZ" a hardware wallet solution will be available gets repeated and repeated and repeated.
It is frustrating, that customer fund security has such a low priority for Dash developers! I know at least two people (institutional investors) who just for that reason do not invest in Dash.

It's not a matter of low priority, but a matter of time: I have worked 60+hrs/week three weeks in a row before and after 12.1 release - I am exhausted.

Electrum is a SPV client for Bitcoin-like cryptocurrencies --> https://electrum.org
Electrum-Dash is a clone of that client, supporting masternode start via Hardware wallets.

There is a working prototype, but it's not ready for rollout. And it's being worked on. I prefer rolling out something that works in favor of something half baked which will explode the support cases.

Wow! Programming 60+hrs/week is huge! Don't do that for too long! Take a break!

As mostly it is not the fault of programmers but of the people who do the resource planning. But of course as an outsider I have no idea how internal priorities are set. Therefore I can only present my frustration because I believe it is such an important issue to have hardware wallet based security for the sums involved in backing masternodes. Don't take it personally!

Nevertheless I'm happy to hear that someone is actively working on it. Please announce the rollout over the usual Dash Twitter accounts! And maybe in this forum.

Any changes in masternode from hardware-wallet problem?

Q : which hw wallet supported ?
- Trezor
- Keepkey
- Ledger nano s(no transaction yet)
- dashmnb will not run without hw wallet

- starting mn(s) works
- sending payout(s) works
- voting works

 

[maky]

"Ledger nano s(no transaction yet)" - what does this mean?

 

[maky]

I'm waiting for noob-proof solution but... Your job is great and it is obvious that You put a lot of job in existing solution so Thanks!

 

[chaeplin]

"Ledger nano s(no transaction yet)" - what does this mean?

start masternode with nano s works(tested). cant send mn payout(s) received to another address

 

[maky]

I set 'dashmnb'. I get adres for 1k transfer but how to get masternodeprivkey with Your app?

no menu to gen masternodeprivkey.

Use any dashd or QT.

dash-cli masternode genkey

 

[maky]

Do You mean that masternodeprivkey is not created from certain mn adress? Just random?

Yep. random.

 

[maky]

Hah! Thanks! You are great, and Your 'dashmnb' is a very usefull app.

Is this problem 'fixable'? Or it is just Ledger hardware problem? Or Ledger software?

I am still working on it.

 

[maky]

OK, I will be patient. Just let us know. Thank You.

Any new info.

Any new info.

Just starting MNs yet.
