ETH feature request

Given Ledger has access to the mnemonic/seed/extended private key, AND that Ledger/MEW/Metamask are all HD wallets (deriving only one ETH address but still HD wallets), there should be an option to export the extended public key so that users could easily import the xpubkey into watch only wallets.

That's something very common with Bitcoin, that is gaining traction in Ethereum.

Cross posted on MEW and MM githubs.

Thank you for you feedback on this!

In current implementation accounts no longer have xpubs for Ethereum, we only keep the fresh address on our side so it would not be possible to allow this.
Ethereum's status quo is still that 1 Account = 1 Address and i don't see this changing anytime soon (at the time where nowadays fees are quite expensive).
Unless you have other information?
