Ahead of schedule, Hive Ledger Wallet is prepared to handle changes in the incoming hardfork and help people to manage their Resource Credits.
Hive Ledger Wallet is a new app that supports Hive on Ledger hardware wallets.

Resource Credits delegations
Incoming hardfork will bring a lot of great changes but I believe the one that will impact average user the most are RC delegations developed by @howo. Long story short, everytime you interact with Hive blockchain, you spend Resource Credits. Those credits regenerates over time and the max amount of them is related to your Hive Power. This is a mechanism design to rate limit blockchain usage.
Problem with RC is that if you don't have enough HP, they will limit your abilities to interact with the blockchain (f.e. playing games like splinterlands). And if you have enought HP, you probably won't use them all whatever you do.
Here comes the delegations - people with enough Resource Credits can delegate it to people with far lower amount. Win-win ;)
Fakenet
RC delegations will be available in the incoming hardfork, but there is a way to test it already - mirrornet aka fakenet. Without the fakenet and it's API managed by @gtg it wouldn't be possible, so consider voting on his witness!

If you have your account already configured to use hardware wallet, just try the fakenet configuration - it should just work. If you didn't try it before, this is a great opportunity to checkout the wallet!
Just remember - fakenet is not real. Whatever you do there, it's not going to happen on the mainnet and all assets are worthless. But this is a great space to test everything, including incoming RC delegations!

Improvements
The new version of Hive Ledger Wallet contains also multiple small but important changes, like the ability to override stake delegation without the need to remove the old one.
Other fixes and improvements:
- updated toast styles to match the overall design
- indicator of the fakenet and testnet
- the login modal does not dissapear during the authentication
- fixed witness paging
- delegating form won't create a transaction with more VESTS than you have
- transaction history with paging
Resource Credits delegations will be deployed to production right after the HF26 but you can help our network and core developers by testing it right now.
Stay safe, and enjoy using Ledger wallet with your Hive account!.
