Coldcard Hardware Wallet Plugin
Just the glue please
This code connects the public USB API and Electrum. Leverages all the good work that's been done by the Electrum team to support hardware wallets.
Background
The Coldcard has a larger screen (128x64) and a number pad. For this reason, all PIN code entry is done directly on the device. Coldcard does not appear on the USB bus until unlocked with appropriate PIN. Initial setup, and seed generation must be done offline.
Coldcard uses an emerging standard for unsigned tranasctions:
PSBT = Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction = BIP174
However, this spec is still under heavy discussion and in flux. At this point, the PSBT files generated will only be compatible with Coldcard.
The Coldcard can be used 100% offline: it can generate a skeleton Electrum wallet and save it to MicroSD card. Transport that file to Electrum and it will fetch history, blockchain details and then operate in "unpaired" mode.
Spending transactions can be saved to MicroSD using the "Export PSBT" button on the transaction preview dialog (when this plugin is owner of the wallet). That PSBT can be signed on the Coldcard (again using MicroSD both ways). The result is a ready-to-transmit bitcoin transaction, which can be transmitted using Tools > Load Transaction > From File in Electrum or really any tool.
TODO Items
- No effort yet to support translations or languages other than English, sorry.
- Coldcard PSBT format is not likely to be compatible with other devices, because the BIP174 is still in flux.
- Segwit support not 100% complete: can pay to them, but cannot setup wallet to receive them.
- Limited support for segwit wrapped in P2SH.
- Someday we could support multisig hardware wallets based on PSBT where each participant is using different devices/systems for signing, however, that belongs in an independant plugin that is PSBT focused and might not require a Coldcard to be present.
Ctags
-
I find this command useful (at top level) ... but I'm a VIM user.
ctags -f .tags electrum
find . -name ENV -prune -o -name \*.py
Working with latest ckcc-protocol
-
at top level, do this:
pip install -e git+ssh://git@github.com/Coldcard/ckcc-protocol.git#egg=ckcc-protocol
-
but you'll need the https version of that, not ssh like I can.
-
also a branch name would be good in there
-
do
pip uninstall ckcc
first
