How do I connect to the Ledger Live app over Websocket?
4 projects | /r/ledgerwallet | 24 Aug 2021

Here's a minimalistic Python implementation I'm using on my system https://gist.github.com/btchip/85b4018f0c421bd72c8f818ec31c69ef - from the client side of the bridge you can just use the HTTP transport of ledgerjs (https://github.com/LedgerHQ/ledgerjs/tree/master/packages/hw-transport-http). However I wouldn't suggest to use the bridge and rather focus on a native webhid/webusb implementation as the user experience would be much smoother. You can have a look at this Metamask fork to see how it's done https://github.com/hectorchu/metamask-extension , or Keplr https://github.com/chainapsis/keplr-extension or Terra Station https://github.com/terra-money/station
I modified MetaMask to run Ledger devices over WebHID
1 project | /r/ledgerwallet | 23 Jul 2021

So I decided to hack MetaMask for a day to see if I could make it use WebHID instead of the ghastly Websocket transport to the Ledger Live app (sorry MetaMask devs!). I'm pleased to report that it was straightforward, and I've decided to make my changes available and a release is also available for download, at https://github.com/hectorchu/metamask-extension. Rest assured there isn't any phishing code in there to steal your keys, besides if you only use your Ledger with it then it can't steal the keys from it.

Is there a way to retrieve the private key of an account with ledgerhq/hw-app-btc ?
1 project | /r/ledgerwallet | 9 Oct 2021

In that case, is there a way to programmatically transfer my funds somewhere else? I noticed that there are methods for creating a transaction of signing a transaction, but I didn't find anything regarding sending a transaction to an other address. Link for the documentation is here: https://github.com/LedgerHQ/ledgerjs/blob/master/packages/hw-app-btc/tests/Btc.test.ts
