1. Plug in your Nano S.
2. Uninstall the current version of the Ledger Bitcoin App on your Ledger Nano S.
3. Install the latest version of the Ledger Bitcoin Chrome App.
4. Open the Ledger Bitcoin Chrome App. (Make sure that "browser support" is disabled in the settings, on your device, by hitting the left button to select "x")
5. Select "Settings"
6. Select "Blockchains"
7. Select "Bitcoin Cash"
8. Select "Main"
9. Voila!
* In order to see your BTC balance once again just click "Blockchains", and then "Bitcoin".
Why pick main? They recommend picking split?
You have to choose MAIN before you can actually split those tokens. What you can do is click "Split", get a "Split" address by copying it from "Receive". And then log into MAIN, and SEND your BCH over to the address you copied, by pasting it in the SEND tab.
That will put it in a separate chain altogether, which is what is recommended. You need to get access to those coins on the main chain, basically, first.
My brain seems to think that it would be more logical to move the main BTC over to a new address for security reasons, then send the BCH to a new address. It doesn't seem like a good idea to proceed with either coin having the same private key as before?
Thanks a lot for the reply!
ok
This is why the split function is there. It separates the funds to the new address.
I thought so but I wasn't sure lol - I've been waiting for you all to test it out first before I tried to do mine Lol, so thanks for doing this! I'll pass along the info for sure :)
I tried to send it from the main to the split but transaction keeps failing, tried to shapeshift it, failed too.. i'm stuck
Who is ”they"?
Ledger
Glad everything went perfect with the fork and I am about to check out my ledger now reinstall the app. Thanks for the post...Steemians get a ledger if you don't already have one.
@crpt0 you couldn't have hinted the BTC balance lol ;) At least show the last Satoshi hahah. Keep steeming and UPVOTED.
Update !!!!

Loaded MAIN, then tried to SPLIT, but got an error modal :(
Have you accessed the wallet from the Bitcoin Cash App ot the Bitcoin app? If from Bitcoin app then it will show that error so check it again from Bitcoin Cash wallet.
I have been getting the same error message and I am on Bitcoin Cash....Just have been watching the price drop. Can't do anything about it Ledger.
You need to open the Bitcoin Cash App on your ledger. Otherwise all transactions will fail caused of verification problems.
I got this after I lost 20K this morning and subsequently recovered it with their help (before the bug fix)
Hello,
The Ledger Wallet Chrome app had a display bug issue which has been solved in the v1.8.4 which has just been published.
Please make sure that you update the Chrome app to the latest version (restart Chrome should be enough, otherwise uninstall and reinstall the Chrome app).
The bug may unfortunately have wiped the name of your accounts, as well as your settings. If this is the case, you'll have to enter them again (you'll see that the name of your accounts have been replaced by "Recovered account #x").
No funds have been at risk, and you will see all your balances and transactions normally once you have updated to the v1.8.4.
Thank you very much for your patience and understanding.
Best regards,
-- Eric Larchevêque, CEO
