I still think this shouldn't be merged until the official client comes out of beta.

@imaginaryusername what do you think?

imaginaryusername commented 1 year ago

Not sure what's the relationship between their different clients, but found this on the website:

so the current "official way to access" seems to be entirely web-based at https://app.shapeshift.com

someone known with a keepkey needs to test this and report if it works with BCH.

Which client are you referring to? If you're talking about app.shapeshift.com, it already has bch support enabled and operational.

greatwolf commented 1 year ago

I'll share a couple screenshots here to show that it's working, at least the basic sending and receiving part of it is fine.

When I get a chance I'll also test Electron Cash with my KeepKey and will report back. If it's anything like the regular electrum or Dash's fork of electrum then it should work fine.

greatwolf commented 1 year ago

Okay I just tested my KeepKey on Electron-Cash-4.2.12, current latest at time of this posting. This was tested using firmware v7.5.0 and bootloader v2.1.4 btw. It's able to communicate with and verify the pin as well as passphrase on my KeepKey. I'm able to send and receive fine using addresses generated from the device. All the transaction history shows up as well.

From what I can tell, everything works as it should.

Yea they do support BCH. But why is it using a DEX online instead of an offline open source app?

yeah, it's not ideal. The quick backstory is before Shapeshift acquired KeepKey the main way to access it was through the Chrome Extension. After the acquisition they basically wanted to migrate users onto their shapeshift platform. Unfortunately not all the features were made available, like for example bitcoin gold, digibyte and some other altcoin support.

I needed a way to access those too and since it's clearly not a firmware support issue, it was a UI interface issue, I just took the original Chrome Extension source as the starting base and started improving and maintaining it myself.

That all said, there is work being done in the shapeshift community since turning into a DEX/DAO setup, specifically highlander is working on a standalone webapp client. It's still in it's early stages you can find it here: https://github.com/keepkey/keepkey-desktop. That gets you closer to an open-source standalone app you can use. Feel free to hop on their shapeshift discord: https://shapeshift.com/join

I haven't tested that though, I've only confirmed app.shapeshift.com works, ElectronCash works and the KKClient fork I've been maintaining works.

Have used a Keepkey with Electron Cash without issue for years. Not that I'm an anybody :)

imaginaryusername commented 1 year ago

@SayoshiNakamario I think you definitely qualify as "known community member" tbh, can you give the shapeshift webapp a quick try? :)

SayoshiNakamario commented 1 year ago

Verified sending/receiving with Keepkey on shapeshift's webapp works for BCH, but only on Chrome (Version 107.0.5304.123), Firefox (107.0.1) would not detect the Keepkey. I Shapeshift has only ever officially supported Chrome though.

imaginaryusername commented 1 year ago

Thank you. @merc1er I think it's safe to recommend a merge.

yeah, I think any Chromium-based browser should work. I think the issue stems from firefox not supporting the webusb api interface. Without that any site or webapp won't be able to communicate with KeepKey or any other custom usb device for that matter.

He is? His account seems almost not used in GitHub and pretty new actually.
