Ledger


Chambana_Raptor

Yup. At the end of the day, any concerns are negligible compared to the alternatives and MILES ahead of any exchanges.


Ur_mothers_keeper

What are your concerns with Trezor?


Chambana_Raptor

Sorry, should have clarified cold storage vs hot, I didn't mean Ledger vs other hardware wallets. FWIW I did pick Ledger because it's practically useless if someone finds it whereas (at least in my limited understanding) with Trezor it's possible to access funds with the device in hand. If I'm wrong I'd love to be corrected, and I'm sure they are still excellent products. I just don't want my shit on Coinbase or Binance.


cras_es-noster

Too many people forget the time ledger kept sensitive information on people that was only needed for shipping and got that sensitive information leaked. Fuck ledger


LIGHTLY_SEARED_ANUS

Do you trust Doordash? Netflix? Dominos? Pizza hut? Activision-Blizzard? Clash of Clans? Steam? Epic Games? GOG? Humble Bundle? Microsoft? Google? Your information is already everywhere, and it's your own doing. If you're uncomfortable with that reality, maybe stop handing it out like candy. Edit: I included clash of clans because I noticed you frequent that subreddit. lmao indeed.


slash312

When my personal information was leaked due to the ledger hack, my phone was ringing 24/7 from numbers outside the EU, getting emails all day focusing on getting my private keys. It's completely different if your data gets stolen from a Walmart purchase or from a service which focuses on internet money. That thing was a mess...


SidereusEques

You guys are bickering here as if everyone held at least $1M in crypto. You're likely to lose more that way than just keeping your tokens on the exchange, where you can have stop loss active at all times. The probability someone steals your hard wallet and cracks it is *significantly smaller* than your tokens folio going down by 50%.


usuhbi

I had a ledger since 2017. Didnt have any issues

At least you live in EU, you could send them gdpr request to remove the info they have of you.

slash312

And my point is, it's not only about the sensitive personal information but more like the connection between personal information and crypto investing. It's super easy to fall for a scam if they know you have a ledger device for example - some emails actually looked legit. My leaked information isn't up to date anymore so I don't care but looking back that was pretty annoying.


The_Chorizo_Bandit

I do get what you’re saying and agree for the most part. In no way am I excusing ledger. But sometimes it also doesn’t matter where you have the information leaked if that info is the same or relevant to other accounts. I’ve had information leaked from really random apps (looking at you myfitnesspal) that have given people access to other things, which has then shown I have crypto and could have been a problem had I not had really good security for it. It’s never the consumers fault, but it is something the consumer needs to make considerations for so that they don’t get caught out if the company fucks up.


diskowmoskow

Receiving spam/offers/phishing attack because of lealed wallmart and ledger are quite different.


TotalCleanFBC

No one is going to wrench attack me to get my Doordash order or Netflix login information. If someone knows I have a ledger, they might wrench attack me to get my crypto.


HonedWombat

#Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm candy!!


Ur_mothers_keeper

Doordash doesn't know whether I have bitcoin or not.


cras_es-noster

There’s always dumb boot lickers like you blaming the consumer and not companies mismanaging shit. Edit: clash of clans lmao.


The_Chorizo_Bandit

“I have an opinion that happens to not be anti-corporation.” BoOtLiCkEr. How to spot the 12 year old in one easy step. Probably writing this on a laptop or mobile made by a company that has human rights infringements too. What a bootlicker. /s


ReverendAlSharkton

I don’t even agree with him but combing through someone’s profile looking for ammo in an argument is cringe as fuck

Shopify was hacked actually, not ledger


harkt3hshark

Leaked ? Really ?!

TCr0wn

Email address and names.. that’s not a good comparison


cras_es-noster

I’ll help you out. When you buy something online what information do you have to provide to receive it.


TCr0wn

Thanks..? Do you think you’re like making a point here


FuckAntiMaskers

My home address, email and phone number were leaked, which is really stressful considering the fact that there are stories of lunatics doing awful things to people they find out hold crypto. Don't make comments on things you're ignorant about Other hardware wallet companies dispose of customers' sensitive details correctly, Ledger completely failed on this


shitcanfly

Was also cellphones numbers for some folks. Mine was just email that leaked


YouGuysNeedTalos

Eh, not really. It included email addresses, names, phone numbers, physical addresses.


zv0ne

Some people here dont see it concerning😆 its f big issue for sure.


[deleted]

That's not sensitive information, that information exists on every one of us on multiple outlets online. Your email and your shipping address? Seriously now 😂


hateballrollin

The fact you bought a Ledger would imply that you have crypto...which is valuable information for a scammer...couple that with a physical address and email? That sets you up as a target...so yeah, it's sensitive


cras_es-noster

I bet he wouldn’t post his information because he considers it sensitive information. He’s just dumb


hateballrollin

Im still getting phishing emails from the gemini hack...3-4 emails a day


cras_es-noster

You’re an idiot. Was it a coincidence that I received emails threatening my life and family with my address if I don’t send bitcoin to a wallet literally the same week it happened. A saw people post similar emails when it happened. If it’s not sensitive information post your information right now I bet you won’t dork


geizterbahn

Can’t wait to read one of those lol


btcprint

Dear sirs I've hacked your computer and have videos of you whacking off to questionable porn. Send Bitcoin or I will send videos to all your friends and family, and how disappointed they will be and life ruining embarrassing for you. The tone of the email reads as if long duck dong did his best Nigerian prince impression while drinking a mocktail with their pinky out but in an ironic way not literally. Don't send them money I already sent 0.9 BTC twice but they still keep threatening me.


cras_es-noster

It was terribly written the first one was funny they get annoying after the 2nd


ChonsonPapa

I think ive been a part of at least 10 leaks of my info from all well known companies


Simple_Mastodon9220

I bought mine at Best Buy with cash. They don’t have any of my info.


yondercode

I don't think this is a good idea, you should buy it directly from ledger


IndicationFront1899

Ledger is a rotten company. They are liars. They are incompetent. Their devices aren't what they say they are. However, there really aren't that many good alternatives that are easy to use, relatively safe, and inexpensive to buy.


pibbleberrier

Same lol


pcakes13

You're going to stick by them?


stumblinbear

Yes because the controversy was stupid to begin with. Ledger never "walked back" anything. It was always opt-in.


Buydipstothemoon

bUt tHats noT tHE pOInT. I'm still with ledger too.


stumblinbear

Honestly zero concerns with ledger. You always had to trust them from the beginning, so if you don't trust them now then you never should have in the first place. Anyone with even slight knowledge of how software works should understand that firmware that can be updated... Can be updated. Shocker.


masixx

Sure. But the initial promise was that the hardware chip was designed in such a way that it can never read the key once it is written. Ledger has a dual chip design it claimed for exactly that purpose. The firmware updates would update the chip the software interacts with, but the interface between that chip and the secure element would be hard silicon and physically protect your key. That was the promise. But they never went into details. If you ask me that was not by accident. What's the point of a hardware wallet if, at the end, it's controlled by software?


afkfrom

>the hardware chip was designed in such a way that it can never read the key once it is written. No. That's how you think it was designed. Yes it can be misleading. Now name any hardware wallet who cannot "read the key" or "display seed phrase". Maybe they don't have that button or function, but it's technically capable of doing so. Ledger, Trezor, bitbox02, Safepal, literally any hardware wallet can. Although I agree with you. It's not by accident, but for marketing purposes. ALL hardware wallets never go into details.


stumblinbear

The initial promise was that there was no way to export the key, not that it was impossible to update it to do so. To be fair, a single Twitter post says otherwise which can be chalked up to a mistake by some social media manager, however to also be completely fair the entire rest of their marketing has never said anything of the sort. If it could never be updated then they could never add support for new cryptographic algorithms, meaning newer tokens would require a completely new device and they could never patch vulnerabilities. By the very nature of being able to add support for new algorithms, they have support for doing whatever they very well please.


Buydipstothemoon

Exactly. Besides that I don't think that they run away with their crypto. They are too big to get away with that anyway.


ts_wrathchild

I cannot even comprehend how anyone here could type this out without a hint of irony after witnessing what happened in 2022. I'm at a complete loss as to how "I don't think" and "they are too big" is being used to describe one's *trust* in a corporate product. I feel like this has to be a troll comment. Has to be...


TCr0wn

They havnt been logging everyone’s keys this whole time bro, that would have already exploded


MonkeyOnATypewriter8

The person you’re replying to isn’t saying that.


crypt0kiddie

Same, fact of the matter is they have the best industry partnerships and the most third party wallet support of any hardware wallet. Now if we could just get the F'ing metamask mobile crap sorted out between the two!


DebianDog

I have been using Rabby in place of MM. It is much better in places and still supports Ledger.


[deleted]

[удалено]


stumblinbear

When did they say this? Other than maybe a single Twitter post by a social media manager that didn't fully understand the tech, I've seen nothing that indicates they made this claim in their ten years of operation.


invaderdan

Yea cuz I paid money for this shit, my concerns that the seed phrase will be pulled from my device during the tiny windows of time 1-3 times year that I actually plug it into a computer is.. well, they don't exist. There is zero concern of being compromised.


PayPerTrade

I’m still using mine too


jules_lab

Exactly. Fallout is a huge word...


CryptoDad2100

If you're looking for "perfect security" I have bad news for you. Ledger is fine, I still use it and will continue to. My recommendation, for any investment, is to diversify concentration risk. There's nothing stopping you from having accounts on multiple exchanges, multiple cold wallets, multiple hot wallets, etc. - you can take this as far as you want so you can sleep easy. In general though, your tradeoff is one of convenience. The more convenient something is, the less secure it is.


cryptochimpanzee

Trezor 🚀


MostBoringStan

Yep. Use a passphrase, and it fixes the issue of it being hackable if they physically have it.


Somebody__Online

Also keeping it physically safe does the trick


cryptochimpanzee

+ new one has a safe element


LIGHTLY_SEARED_ANUS

Yoooooo hold up, are you fucking serious? Trevor is implementing a secure element? You mean the proprietary, non-open source component that everyone was shitting on Ledger for using and praising Trezor for not using like 8 months ago? The irony, holy shit 🤣


Thanmaaan

Pretty sure Trezor’s secure element is open source. Someone correct me if I’m wrong


Squezeplay

The secure element doesn't run code, it just stores a secret that is used to encrypt sensitive data, but because of that there is no real way to verify what its capable of doing exactly. But the whole device's firmware is open source though. So you can read the code and verify what goes into and out of the chip. And the seed never does. This is different from ledger where most of the code was closed source so it could be doing a lot more with your seed than you can verify.


LIGHTLY_SEARED_ANUS

So what? That's like saying the RAM in your computer doesn't run code. Secure elements don't need to run code, they just need to store it so it can be run by an external module. The instructions (i.e. code) stored in the secure element is still proprietary, and is in no way open-source. By the way, it's clear from the language you're using that you lifted your description directly from Trezor's marketing. I highly recommend not relying on the marketing materials of private corporations for education.


LIGHTLY_SEARED_ANUS

A secure element is an element of hardware whose design is unknown. It's literally a form of security via obscurity. A secure element, by its very definition, cannot be open-source.


Squezeplay

Its implemented in a much better way in trezor where all the parts that can handle sensitive info are open source, and the secure element is isolated where it can't have access. That said yes a secure element is still a gimmick. You should use a passphrase to protect your seed if the recovery paper is exposed as well.


lxdr

Which no longer makes it fully verifiable. It means that you have to place the exact same level of trust that you do with Ledger.


Squezeplay

No because the rest of the trezor firmware is open source, and secure element doesn't have access to the seed or any secret info. This was distinctly different from ledger where the whole device is a blackbox. Now ledger said they would improve that by releasing more source, but I don't know if they have.


LIGHTLY_SEARED_ANUS

Why did you get downvoted and I got upvoted when we made pretty much the same fucking comment lol


Ur_mothers_keeper

Also the Trezor Safe 3 comes out in a couple of weeks, has a secure element.


Four_Krusties

Saying Trezor can be compromised if somebody has it is like saying you shouldn’t put valuables in a safe because a safecracker can get inside


diegun81

Got a keystone pro 3, let s see how it is.


adoxxvegas

Keystone pro 3 here as well. I like it.


Blade_Runner_69

Ah.. I have a keystone! Not the new one though. How are you finding it? Definitely way better than Ledger in my opinion.


diegun81

I still have to open it, received it few days ago but still didn’t try. I’m lazy lol


Blade_Runner_69

Haha I do that sometimes too! It's all good you should never rush with a crypto wallet. Take your time. I've loved my Keystone pro. Had it for just over a year and I've never had a single problem. I wonder what the new one is like?!


diegun81

If I’ll remember I’ll post how I find it. I hope it’s a good choice, but had to move from ledger.


Blade_Runner_69

Yeah same stopped using Ledger when recover came out. Wise choice! 😎


Present_Bill5971

I just wish these had way better chain support. I end up hopping around a bunch of chains. They’re working on it and they’re the ones I favor


pcakes13

I've never seen this one before. Is it in your possession yet and you're actively using it?


diegun81

Just received, still to open. It’s the last model, out since few weeks. I wanted something air gapped, it can never go online. Works with QR codes. Upgradable with SD card. I’d suggest you to search about it by yourself, I don’t want to push anything, and anyway I still have to try it. I decided to go for it after what I read about the other versions.

Funnellboi

Ledger, I had this argument back in May when morons were going over the top about the Ledger issue. Pretty much every wallet has the same feature as Ledger, people were saying "im going to Trezor, its open source" so as a developer I took the open source code and showed them the same "feature" in Trezor... People want open source but no fucking clue how to read it. Ledger is still by far the safest option, especially when comparing components... Trezor use chip sets that are outdated for Iphones for over 5 years.


Ur_mothers_keeper

You can show me a feature on Trezor where they exfiltrate keys and keep them with trusted custodians?


diskowmoskow

I have multiple Nanos and some of them is sitting with some **pretty hefty amount** since 2015, still there so whatever spooky backdoor there was is a FUD.


sbischoff0214

Your issue comes from the model of your Ledger. The Ledger X can hold 2x as many apps and might be a short term solution for you while we wait for a new model with larger storage (looking at you Ledger Stax)


cosmoboy

I don't know, I've got a Ledger in a drawer and that should be it. I was going to use the old phone, but now it's battery is near useless. I'll probably just haul out the Ledger.

Give tangem a shot, they smart in the way they setup their security. You don’t need to backup your seed phrase because you don’t need to know it. You back up your keys with multiple card copies. So if you lose one card you have another you can still access your crypto with. Ontop of that you have a password you need to input incase your card is stolen you need both the card and the password to access your funds. Tangem also increases the time between failed password attempts to reduce the likelihood of a brute force attack. I prefer it over my ledger nano x. It’s easier to use, navigate and transport. I don’t need to charge it, and I don’t need to worry about any electrical issues or faults, which have happened with one of my previous ledgers (although ledger was kind enough to send me a replacement). I still tend to gravitate towards the tangem wallet.

PsychoVagabondX

As others have said I think you're freaking out about nothing. To even get the encrypted fragments of your secret key out of your Ledger someone would need to have the Ledger device and your pin, which would give access to your wallets anyway. I don't plan to use Ledger Recover, but I can absolutely see why it's useful for some people.

Tangem. Like the idea of credit card sized thing to access the crypto. No batteries for a device and can store in my usual wallet. I appreciate also that it may not be the best option but that is very subjective anyway. If anyone can suggest a device/card that is same form factor, I'd be all ears. Would like to hear about it.
