FYI: Due to issues with U2F support in other browsers any actions using a Ledger within Misthos require you to be logged in via Chrome. Read here how to set up integration if Chrome is NOT your default browser.
Misthos has just introduced the ability to integrate Ledger devices to your Ventures to greatly improve the security of your funds. Here is an overview of the steps you need to take to set up the integration:
- Submit public keys to Venture: Ledger integration is a per-Venture setting. Load the Venture you want to integrate with and click on the ‘Settings’ icon next to the Venture name.
- Connect your device and click on the ‘Submit Public Keys’ button.
- That’s it! In a few seconds your public keys will be submitted and the integration will be complete. From now on, addresses you generate will be backed by your Ledger and you will need your Ledger to sign the transactions whenever you propose or endorse a payout.
- To ensure that everything worked click on ‘Receive’ to generate a new address. Then check the new address in the Wallet History screen to see if it says ‘Ledger Backed’ next to your name in the details of the address you just generated.
- As a privacy precaution, whenever a Partner leaves a Venture you will be prompted to rotate the public keys you have submitted. This is to prevent Partners that have left a Venture from being able to derive future income addresses from the keys that were submitted while they were there. The rotation process is exactly the same as the original integration process.
We hope you benefit from the additional security provided by this integration, and we look forward to your feedback. Reach us via contact@misthos.io or on Twitter.
