Ledger-live-desktop: Add support for Helium (HNT) coin

Created on 1 Nov 2020 · 6Comments · Source: LedgerHQ/ledger-live-desktop

[X] I have checked this feature was not yet requested.

I would like native support for the Helium (HNT) crypto coin in the Ledger Live desktop and phone app.
Due to the Helium Network gaining traction many are now owners of this currency, and I for one would like to secure and use it with Ledger as easily as BTC and other currencies.

There is already an CLI application that can be found here: https://developer.helium.com/blockchain/ledger-hardware-wallet but its far from as easy to use. Nowhere near with for example BTC. This difficulty to use is preventing me to moving over my HNT assets to my Ledger device.

adding my support for this. Have had a ledger sitting on my desk for awhile now not getting much use; have been hesitant to fully entrust my HNT to a patch solution but will definitely reconsider using as my main store when this goes official!

HNT is currently used in the real world for Proof of Coverage and other rewards for LoraWAN & IOT applications currently being deployed globally. Here's a current map of deployed devices for your reference: https://network.helium.com/coverage. Honestly, I would rather use Ledger to store my HNT as I deploy these sites but it is not formally supported by your team. Please prioritize as I do not like using a wallet on a mobile device due the inherent risks.
