It's Here! It's Here! - Ledger Nano S from CryptoHWwallet!
I pre- ordered a Ledger Nano S almost two months ago from CryptoHWwallet and it just arrived in the mail! I also got a FREE Monero T-shirt with my order! Nice! I will include the code for a free T-shirt in the links below.
The Ledger Nano S comes beautifully packaged in a very Apple-esque box and sealed in plastic. Inside the box are: the Ledger Nano S, a package containing instructions and Seed Card, a pretty long Micro USB cable, and a lanyard with key chain split rings. I probably won't used the lanyard, but hey, it could be handy if you're on the go without pockets.
This thing is really small. It's about the size of a USB flash drive and kind of looks like one, especially when closed. That's actually a feature in my eyes. It's a little more inconspicuous than some of the other hardware wallets.
Once plugged in, the device powers on and walks you through how to use it, setting up your PIN, and writing down your 24 word recovery seed. It then asks you to confirm a couple of words from your seed to make sure you actually wrote them down. After you do these two steps, it's set up for use. It's very easy to use and has a very clean UI on the device's screen. The screen is small, but Ledger has made good use of it.
The Ledger Nano S supports several cryptocurrencies like:
- Bitcoin
- Ethereum
- Litecoin
- Dogecoin
- Dash
- Zcash
- Ripple
- and more!
My only gripe, and this isn't against Ledger, is that it doesn't work on the Brave Browser yet and that's my favorite web browser. I guess it's too soon to expect Brave to have all of Google's Apps. 😁 I'll just have to use Chrome when I want to use the Ledger, no big deal. I have to admit, I was kind of hoping it would work.
In Chrome, you can find the Ledger wallet apps by clicking the menu(three dots at the top right), choose more tools, then choose extensions and search for Ledger Wallet. There is one for Ethereum and one for Bitcoin/Litecoin.
Once you have the apps installed on your Chrome browser, you can find them by typing chrome://apps in the address bar. This is the order you have to go in to get to your wallet.
- Open the Bitcoin Ledger Wallet app in Chrome
- Plug in your Ledger Nano S and input your PIN
- Choose the Bitcoin symbol on the Nano S and press both buttons
- Now the Wallet will launch on your computer
If you're looking for a hardware wallet with multicurrency support, I can say I really like this Ledger Nano S. It stores the major cryptocurrencies, it's small, It looks like an ordinary USB stick, and it's easy to use! You can save $5.00 on the Ledger Nano S or any other hardware wallet by visiting CryptoHWwallet through the banner below. No coupon code needed! You can still use the Free T-Shirt code listed below too!

Ooooooooooooooh shiny!
A good investment me thinks.
Yeah! I've been wanting a hardware wallet since the Trezor first came out. The Ledger is a little cheaper at about $80, and I like the form factor. It's a pretty cool little gadget. I'm excited to start using it.

Yea was just seeing might be handy still for other crypto might have to order one now thank brother
Thanks for the feedback! It's definitely a good idea to store all the cryptos you can offline. I'm surprised at how easy this thing is to use.
Thank you much appreciated Iv been looking at a few but think this as definitely sold it me now lol thanks karl steem on brother
Awesome! That's great to hear. I think you'll like it. It's pretty damn cool.
It's always nice when things come in the mail :D
Haha! Yep, especially after waiting for a month or so, because it was a pre- order.
Now that my small investments from last year are worth so much I really need to buy one of these.
I can't believe they are backed ordered for months
I know what you mean. I'll say this for cryptohwwallet. I knew it was a pre-order when I ordered it, but they kept me updated when they had news from Ledger and they shipped it as soon as they got them in. Once it shipped, it was here in just a few days.
