Introduction: Ravencoin & Ledger

This guide takes you through the steps to get Ravencoin working on your Ledger. You will need to install the necessary software dependencies (Electrum and Python), download the Ravencoin Ledger software, and set up your Ledger to make it accept Ravencoin.

Instruction for Windows

Installing Dependencies

Step 1: Download and install the Electrum binaries. Choose the "-setup.exe" version. Windows Defender may complain. You'll have to add an exception and tell it to run anyway.

Step 2: Download and install WinPython. Save the file to your \Users\USERNAME\Downloads\ folder

Step 3: Download the Ledger app.hex file for Ravencoin. Right click the file and choose to save. Save the file to: \Users\USERNAME\Downloads\WPy-3670\scripts

Setting up the scripts

Step 4: Open a command prompt (type cmd in the Windows search bar and press enter)

Step 5: In the command prompt type in: cd \Users\USERNAME\Downloads\WPy-3670\scripts to move to the WinPython download directory.

Step 6: In the command prompt type in: pip install ledgerblue to install the Ledger Python libraries.

Setting up your Ledger

Step 7: Plug in and unlock your Ledger.

Step 8: In the command prompt type in:

python -m ledgerblue.loadApp --appFlags 0x40 --apdu --tlv --targetId 0x31100003 --delete --fileName app.hex --appName "Ravencoin" --appVersion 1.3.2 --dataSize 0x00000000 --icon 0100000000ffffff00ffffffffffff1ffc0ff80fe107c0078003f003f807f81ffc3ffcfffcffffffff

Step 9: Follow the prompts on your hardware Ledger to allow the installation. Once it's done, you should see a Ravencoin app in the list of apps on the Ledger.

Step 10: Open Ravencoin on your hardware Ledger.

Step 11: On your Windows desktop you will see that an Electrum-RVN icon has appeared. Open the program and go through the initial setup steps. When you get to the part where you can "Choose a hardware wallet" pick that option and go from there. If it can't see the Ledger, make sure you have your Ravencoin app running on it. You can accept the defaults for everything else, once it sees the Ledger.

Final steps

Your coins are now safe on your Ledger. You can always recover them from another Electrum instance or any other BIP39 wallet by simply using the seed words from your Ledger.
