Ledger signMessage support

[hudymvol]

Hi, are there any plans to add signMessage support for Ledger?

As far as I can see, it is not available at the current moment.

@hudymvol the issue seems to go a little deeper: https://github.com/phantom-labs/sandbox/issues/14

@neverything I'm not an expert in this but, as I can see during the transaction we also getting some signature. Won't it be possible just to implement function signMessage and return that signature? I believe signature which is created during the transaction has the same creation logic as signature which should be created during message signing.

@Crispried iirc this is a different type of signature that gets created differently. The signMessage can be done just between the wallet and the website and doesn't need a connection to the blockchain itself to be generated.

@neverything so, the way how wallets create signatures for transactions is different from the way how they create signatures for message? I was sure it's the same. I believe it means they use different cryptography algorithms for that. Could you explain how it works? Or maybe share some links where I could read about that?

My point was that if we can get signature from Ledger but, by calling some "non-standard" API from Ledger side then let it be and we could handle that on wallet adapter level. The main thing is to get the signature. But, obviously if the way how transaction are signed is completely different from the way how message are signed it doesn't make sense.

Has anyone reached to Solana ledger app devs?

@devourer66 yes, I think the Phantom folks have already raised this: https://github.com/phantom-labs/sandbox/issues/14

Just back from vacation! This is currently blocked by https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/issues/21366. Once it's supported natively in the Ledger app, we can find out how support it in the adapter.

Seems like there is some good news out and this will hopefully be delivered in Q1 2022, according to https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/issues/21366#issuecomment-994886128

@Sunnyjson this isn't the place to track Ledger features. Please subscribe to the above linked tracking issue.

Hi, there. I wanna a random string and a signed message which is called signature. It is possible on called signature.

Since it isn't like this is coming any time soon, I've created an app that let's user just send a amount of SOL to "sign a message": https://github.com/kizzx2/solana-sign-with-payment

I'll add my message to the graveyard here, any update?
