RE: Ledger Nano S Does not work!!!!!!! FUCK MY LIFE! August 1st is coming! Coinbase not supporting both chains!

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Sorry to hear about this. I know people say your an idiot if you keep your money on an exchange but after hearing about people having issues with electrum, ledger, trezor, etc not really sure who to trust lol.

Did Coinbase come out and say they wouldn't support both chains? I thought they had just kept silent but I could have sworn someone posted something on here or another forum that alluded to Bitcoin giving you both chains as long as it was in the vault as opposed to regular wallet, although not sure why that mattters.

Sort:  

Their words were they intend to do what they can to ensure customers "Value" is maintained. To me that says they will be issuing their customers what they believe is the "real" bitcoin, and keeping the other tokens like they did with Ethereum Classic.

They did eventually release the ETC. I think them stealing the duplicate would literally be the nail in their coffin. Sorry to hear about all of your troubles in the past. I have done Ubuntu bootables that were quite useable in the past for drive formatting while authoring DCPs.

The linux issues sound like you may need to track down GPU firmware for linux before attempting a bootable. Have that available so you can update the stock firmwares included in the OS. The keyboard issue is again sounding firmware related possibly a USB firmware... is the keyboard plugged into a USB 2.0 or 3.0 slot? It may not come as a bootable and be able to use 3.0.

I know their were plugins installed to make our Trezor work. Is it possible you are using an unsupported browser or it requires a version of Java to work that you have disabled for security reasons?

It's a newer computer so I'm assuming USB 3.0. Seems like a lot of work lol. I would prefer to keep my coins on coinbase. I know everyone says it isn't the safe thing to do because they could get hacked, but I believe they keep less then 1% of the coins in their hot wallets. So in the event of a loss due to a hack they would retain 99% of their funds. I cannot say the same for myself if I was to get hacked holding my own coins...

The danger really is that you don't own your private keys with Coinbase...they do. I live in New York and with the local laws and fed depts we have to deal with here protecting wallstreet... Coinbase is a nightmare and can freeze assets without warning or stated reason, but we're stuck with them.

Yeah, they are the best at what they do. With a Ledger I don't control my private keys though, so it's the same thing isnt' it?

if it works like a trezor you hold your private keys on the nano.

I wanted to get a Ledger but backorder is so long you think Trezor is worth getting in the interum?

I was going for Trezor but it's backordered... So I ordered a Ledger from amazon and paid like double...
