Don't Trust, Verify: Connecting your Bitcoin Full Node with Ledger
summary
Shows how to replace Ledger Live’s backend with a local node by running a setstack bridge that translates Ledger Live requests into Bitcoin Core RPC calls over onion RPC to Umbrel/RaspiBlitz. Workflow: extract xpubs from the Nano, paste node RPC host/user/pass into a JSON, run Tor + setstack, wait 5–10 minutes to start or up to ~6 hours to initially index on a Raspberry Pi. Outcome: Ledger Live queries a personal node while the Nano still signs transactions, improving privacy and independence.
