Hey guys,
I am trying to connect by blockstream jade to Sparrow wallet so I can do some UTXO management but sparrow will not scan my xpub. I've tried both my desktop and laptop as i wondered if maybe it didnt like my web cam. The camera pops up and i hold my xpub from my jade up to allow the scannning and nothing ever happens. I use the blockstream Green wallet to unlock my jade then make sure the green wallet is closed before attempting to scan it as instructed on the blockstream website. Just wondering if anyone knows what I am doing wrong. Any help welcome. Thanks.

I've had the same issue for a while. Tried with a laptop camera and a good quality webcam without any luck. Even using the Green app, when I try to scan my xpub it doesn't scan properly. Just returns what I believe is the data for 1 of the QR codes it's cycling through.
Using Nunchuck, however, it works. You get a progress bar showing it's scanning through each of your QRs and it populated in within 15 seconds or so.
It's really frustrating. Maybe certain wallets just aren't optimized for scanning animated QRs? Weird that it doesn't even work with Green cuz it's their own hardware

hmmm that is super strange. It's strange it gives the option to scan with the jade and yet it doesn't work. Hopefully they are working on it. Thank you for the Nunchuck tip. I'll try that. I appreciate it man.

I've had multiple problems with BS Jade, and have since converted mine into a lottery miner. Practically useless at 80kh/s but at least it keeps me up to date with the current block.

I actually have been really liking the Jade other then this small issue. That's super cool you converted it to a lotto miner though haha. That's a cool idea.
