However, it is hard to verify the code of a webpage when accessing the webpage in a browser and thus not recommended to add features that would allow to do this. Theoretically this could be overcome by creating a node infrastructure behind a proper REST API, or with a locally running proxy. However, it is questionable if these are favourable solution, as they adds additional software on top of the blockchain nodes. @@ -64,6 +64,7 @@ The UX of the swap might be different depending on the role a party takes, espec The first version of a prototype will not include hardware wallet (e.g. Ledger Nano S) support. In previous products we focused on swaps directly from and to cold storage, however, this does not concern a large enough user base to support it in the initial version. Furthermore, hardware wallets add certain restrictions (forced user-interaction to sign transactions) that might conflict with the current prototol design. +Using the wallets of the standard implementations (monerod and bitcoind) is the easiest, most straightforward starting point. Hardware wallet support can be added at a later point if requested as feature by the community. ## Possible Solutions
