Hello, when trying this and getting to the step where I sign my byteball address with my electrum wallet. When I try to validate the signing (it says to remove and replace the ledger wallet and it will come back as a keyboard and type something in a note pad, but this does not happen, on either of my computers). Secondly, when I try to sign any message, it says that "unfortunately this message can not be signed with ledger wallet. Only 140 alphanumerical characters are allowed, please delete all tabs, spaces ,etc and retry" but there is no special characters.

I've even tried signing the message "hello" with the same issues. Whats going on here?

Thank you.

Also, I can't verify by sending from address because my ledger wallet chaanges addresses with each send, even though I have it checked off on electrum.

Thank you.

It seems there are some problems when signing message with Ledger hardware wallet and Electrum on Windows
I found this similar issue on github: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/1675
It says that signing messages is more likely to work on Linux
It also says that token should be configured to use keyboard 2FA, not keyCard, because keyCard is not currently implemented for signing messages

Verification by micropayment works: you just have to send back all your bitcoins to the address from which you paid the bot (make sure it is indeed your btc address before sending anything!)
