Ledger Nano S Crypto Hardware Wallet - Securely buy, manage and grow your Bitcoin wallet and other digital assets

Very solid product for safe offline storage of crypto - much more secure than storing on the exchanges and I would consider it a virtual must if you have any significant value in crypto assets, with the caveat that it is for people not looking to store more than a couple of coin types. Fairly user-friendly though I wouldn't necessarily call it a breeze for the novice. That said, if you have the time, there are plenty of short You-Tube videos out there to walk you through early set-up of the device itself and the complementary software (Ledger Live) is pretty straight-forward and helpful. The Nano S has very limited storage capacity - you need to download an app for each type of crypto you want to store, and the capacity is almost reached after downloading just the Bitcoin and Ethereum apps. If you're just storing those two coins (or some combination of one with some other coins, many of which have apps which take up less space), you should be fine. If you're looking to store multiple types of crypto (particularly if Bitcoin, Ethereum or both are included - given the space they take up), you should probably pay up for the Nano X. Otherwise, this is perfectly suitable and provides the peace of mind I was looking for. I would be mindful of other reviews related to experiences with customer support (which made me wary, though I ultimately overcame it based on the overall reputation of the device itself) ... hopefully I either will not need to deal with that or the company steps up their customer service before my time comes. For now, however, I'm extremely satisfied with the product itself.

I have 3 of these now. This Ledger S works exactly as described and is a very safe and secure way to access your crypto. I think many people misunderstand (and Ledger is guilty of letting them) what cold storage is - your wallet is still on the blockchain - the ledger is simply keeping the private key offline (which is exactly what it should do). Upon setup, the ledger will give you 24 words to keep track of as your backup. Do NOT put these on your computer or laptop or phone. Write these down on paper and keep it safe. Keep a copy in a safe deposit box if you can or at least a fireproof box. Again, the Ledger is only giving you access to your Blockchain Wallet with your private key, not storing the coins or tokens on the Ledger device.Yes, it only hold 3-4 blockchain apps. I only use ETH and BSC for this device but it can store unlimited token types on each blockchain! I guess if you need BTC, Cardano, Solana, and more then you need to get an X instead of the S.

As I study Crypto Currency (Bitcoin) and stay in tune with current events I realize "Cold Storage" is the most responsible way to go. For example, recently Coinbase blocked 25K Coinbase wallets due to "suspected" nefarious activity in Russia. Forget politics for a minute, my problem is Coinbase's CEO never explained with any details. I don't use Coinbase but if an exchange can block a wallet, then it's time to put your Crypto on a hardware wallet that is independent of an exchange. Actually, we're talking about private keys and access because the actual Bitcoins are on the Blockchain.Ledger Nano S is sold at a decent price, built like a thumb drive and with some patience, a quiet space and time easy to install using Ledger Live at ledger.com/start. Follow the instructions, ensure you get your Seed Phrase down on paper, they do supply a card for that, and you're required to confirm it on the Nano S via their little screen during setup. Once again, be patient, don't allow interruptions and all will go well. When you're in Ledger Live, which you download on your laptop/desktop, it will be in your computer menu, but I also pinned it to my taskbar for easy access. I have Windows 10 Pro and everything worked well.Once installed I transferred Bitcoin from my Samourai Wallet to my Ledger. Next, I setup and withdrew available Bitcoin from my Swan Bitcoin exchange via Prime Trust. Now I'm set up with auto-withdrawals to Ledger or I can manually withdraw.I use a Samsung Android phone so I downloaded the Ledger App. This is easy to set up but you must have a cable with Micro-USB to USB Type C which I purchased separately. The Ledger OTG Kit contains one of these the Ledger did not. That's it, I'm setup on my desktop and phone, I have my Seed Phrase carefully stored in 3 very safe yet accessible locations. Do not lose that Seed Phrase and keep it secure.

Hey, thanks for reading my review... I purchased the Nano S. I have had this Hardware wallet for a couple months now... The set-up with my laptop and the Ledger Live is really easy IMO... just be patient and move through the installation process slowly so you are following all the necessary steps....*** HIGHLIGHTS ****** Ledger Live ***--- I really like the Ledger Live... this is an awesome feature and its interface with the hardware allet device is wonderful... Ledger Live shows you all your crypto holdings and values, etc., I have not actually made any trades using Ledger Live ( ie. meaning buys or sales of crypto ) I prefer to do that on an exchange like Binance.US... So, I cant speak to this feature within the Ledger Live.*** The Hardware Wallet Itself ***--- It comes nicely packaged in a secure box with instructions on how to use it, it comes with the necessary USB cord to connect to your Laptop/Desktop USB port... the provided cord in the box however will not connect to an Android phone... so be aware of that... that is my experience anyway....--- The digital screen on the hardware wallet is very small and as a result this makes seeing the codes, to access the device, a bit of a challenge.... at least for me.. but again that's me.... If you wear glasses or have perfect vision or just aren't old like me.. lol... you should be able to see the digits on the digital screen with some ease.--- I gave this device 4 stars for two reasons... 1. I could not leave 4.5 stars... lol Amazon doesn't apparently allow half star ratings.... if they did I would have rated it 4.5 stars... lol... 2. The second reason I gave it less than 5 stars is due to "STORAGE CAPACITY"... this part is TRICKY just to be clear... The device comes with its own already preloaded software to interface with Ledger Live and all that Jazz... This software alone, takes up a great deal of the memory/ storage capacity on the device.... almost 30% to 33%.... so when you install software for any crypto currency, for which you want to store your Keys, you have to load the corresponding software for that paticular crypto currency... in my case I loaded software for ADA (Cardano) and ETH (Ethereum). So, all told I have two crypto's associated with the device and as a result two software interfaces for those two cryptos loaded on my device... this leaves about 8% to 10% of the total Memory/Storage Capacity open to add a third Crypto... but here is the catch... "that 8% to 10% isn't enough to load any other Crypto Software on the wallet... I've tried and you cant, as there isn't enough memory. So, if you have three, or more, different cryptos you want to store on the device... you are S.O.L. Because there is not enough space.... ENTER... THE TRICKY PART I MENTIONED ABOVE.... To get around this issue you can uninstall the crypto software for one already on your device and then load another in it's place without losing your data, which of course is already stored on the blockchain for your respective crypto currency. The catch here is this... each time you want to access that third Crypto you have to uninstall one software and install the third.. which to me is BOGUS.... this was clearly a Marketing/Profit decision on the part of the Company... Because most people are not going to want go thru the process repeatedly to install / uninstall / and install software each time they want to access their Keys for a third crypto. Enter the BOGUS part... If you want to avoid this issue, or necessity of installing and uninstalling and installing software each time (for the other cryptos you own)... you have to buy the more expensive Nano X which has more storage in its chip..... So, it boils down to how many cryptos you want to store... and how much of an inconvenience you find it to be to install and uninstall software if you have more than (2) cryptos to store, and if you have the patience.--- For my part... LOL I don't have the patience... don't get me wrong, this wallet was a great $59 dollar investment for my first Hardware wallet, but I want the NANO X... LOL... which as of this writing isn't readily available to ship... this is probably due to the Universal Chip shortage around the world that started pre-covid and pre 2020... and is still ongoing at this moment May 30th, 2021... you can order the Nano X from the company directly but delivery is 2 to 3 weeks as I recall reading...--- I hope this review helps someone. It's a great device just too little storage capacity... The Nano X is what you really want if you have more than 2 Cryptos... which in most cases we all do...Good Luck...

Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Writing the 24 security words/phrase is a little cumbersome. However, considering the risk, depending on the value of the crypto you own, it's a small price to pay for the added security. The only negative I can think of is it's limited to the number of cryptocurrencies you can access. I was able to load the top 5 cryptocurrencies - which I own. If you have more than that I suggest the Nano X. If you like the color black the price of $42.49 is a pretty good deal. As Henry Ford said, "you can have any car color you like as long as it's black" .

Wow. I'm actually ONLY writing this review because the 1-star reviews are absolutely ridiculous. The Nano S does EXACTLY what it says on the tin. Frankly mine has a row of pixels that blipped out and that's a bit disappointing, but otherwise it works exactly as advertised!I think it's great. I own a Trezor One as well and while they compare on price point, the Ledger beats it hands down in features. I'm surprised that someone else doesnt compete more seriously in this arena.Sure, it only stores a few apps but the average person reading this review should be HODLING anyway, not thinking they're smarter than everyone else and trying to day trade.I DO NOT want Bluetooth or a battery, but I need comprehensive altcoin support, so the Nano S made sense to me. Plus it seems more innovative in that apps are exploiting u2f to work in places where webusb doesn't yet work.All in all, I'm impressed with the Nano S enough to bother writing this all out, especially to counter the silly 1-star reviews. It's like people that Yelp with "Mind-blowing food, but water was 1 degree too warm, 4 stars". Yes, recovering from the 24-word seed is tedious, there's no way around that if you want to do it securely.

A lot of the reviewers here don't seem to understand what they're buying.1. If your ledger device came with the 24 seed phrase already provided for you, it's been tampered with and RETURN IT IMMEDIATELY. The seed phrase should be generated for the first time by you. No one, including ledger, will ever ask you for your seed phrase.2. Your crypto is not stored on the device. Your crypto is always on the Blockchain. This device simply holds your keys so even if a hacker found your password to your wallets, they can't send any coins without physical access to your ledger device.3. Deleting an app doesn't delete your crypto. You can connect your ledger to as many crypto as you want (as long as it's supported). The device can only install 2-3 applications at the same time.Go to the official ledger website for full information on how to safely use and store your crypto.For $60, this is a great investment to have ease of mind that your crypto investments are safe.

If you need the cheapest hardware wallet, this is it. However, it is 2021 and flash memory is cheap and available even in these trying times. It is really ridiculous how little storage this device has. I can run 3, sometimes 2 different "apps" at the same time on one of these, depending on the app.Honestly, I would be embarrassed if my company produced this product. It's like making a car that only holds 1 gallon/liter of fuel. It works but you aren't going to have a good time with it.I bought this to use with a specific type of crypto that wasn't supported my other hardware wallet. It works. The interface on the device itself is is pretty clunky with the buttons, it is a giant pain to actually use the device and navigate menus, but it does work. The PC software works well. On the plus side, there is no battery. Yes, that is actually a good thing because a wallet with a battery will eventually have problems when the battery dies. I can forgive the micro-USB connector at this price, even though I would prefer USB-C.Overall:If you are just getting started, DON'T buy this, spend 2x this price and get a wallet that is 10x better. If you just want another key to hold stuff then that's what I would use this for. Like, to hold stuff forever and store this thing in a bank vault or something, definitely not for everyday use.

I like that I can protect my crypto and sleep well knowing they are safe. The nano s is for long term, or just storage as it is inconvenient if you are away from your desktop as you send or send, or sell because it cannot link to an iphone or android, The Nano S can’t be used with mobile phones. You will need the nano x for that.When setting it up, no seed words are displayed on the computer screen or the app, they are displayed only on the unit itself.I do not know if the Ledger Nano's are waterproof, I have not been able to find any info on that, so I would try my best to keep it safe and dry. I would have liked to see more metal and less plastic in the design, over time I am concerned about the buttons.Overall, I am satisfied, but think I may move on to a Nano x later, time will tell. Just do your own research, there are many websites discussing this product.For what it does, keeping your seed phrase secure, I give it 5 stars, Value for money 5 stars, what value do you put on your crypto, it is a no brainer.

Hafıza büyüklüğü çok küçük. Bu yüzden içerisine 3-5 tane kripto altyapısı (ağ) kurabiliyorsunuz. Hangi altyapıyı kurduğunuza bağlı olarak bir çok farklı coin saklanabiliyor. Örneğin eth ağında eth'da var usdt'de var. Ek olarak birçok altcoin daha var. 100 para çeşiti varsa hepsini saklarsınız ve bu cihazınızda 1 kripto ağlık yer kaplar. kalan alana tron, bitcoin, bnb vs farklı ağlar da kurabilirsiniz. tron ağında da 20 para birimi varsa yine hepsini saklarsınız. eth+tron 2 kripto ağlık yer kaplar. Çok sayıda ağlarla çalışmıyorsanız bence nano s yeterli.

Le produit correspond vraiment à ce que j'attendais !Au début, c'est dur d'imaginer que l'on va pouvoir le contrôler avec son petit écran OLED.Au finale c'est vraiment excellent et intuitif à prendre en main. Au bout de 5 minutes, j'étais capable de naviguer facilement dans les menus / applications.Une fois le Ledger Nano S configuré ( Code PIN défini ), j'ai pu l'utiliser avec l'application "Ledger Live", et même chose, elle est vraiment simple et intuitive à utiliser.Avec l'application "Ledger Live", on peut facilement installer de nouvelles applications ( Ajouter une crypto-monnaie ) sur notre Ledger Nano S.Certaines sont prises en charges directement avec l'application "Ledger Live", pour d'autres, il faudra passer par des applications / sites web externes à Ledger pour pouvoir contrôler votre compte.Pour moi, le Ledger Nano S est vraiment un moyen assez simple pour stocker de manière sécurisée vos cryptos-monnaies ( Bien plus sécurisé que de les laisser sur un site d’échange ).Quelque petites précisions pour ceux qui découvrent le Ledger Nano S :- Vous êtes limité sur le nombre d'applications installables en simultanées sur le Ledger Nano S ( Du à sa capacité ). Mais il est important de savoir que vous pouvez installer / désinstaller des applications comme vous voulez, dans tous les cas vous ne perdrez pas l'accès à vos "comptes". En effet, les "comptes" sont en fait généré avec la "Seed" du Ledger Nano S, qui elle ne change pas.- C'est très important de noter votre "Seed" ( Phrase de récupération ou Recovery phrase ). Si vous perdez celle-ci et que vous rencontrez un problème avec votre Ledger Nano S ( Appareil cassé, besoin de reset, ou autre ), vous perdrez toutes les cryptos-monnaies stockées sur l'appareil. A noter que 3 feuilles cartonnées sont fournies afin de noter celle-ci. Vous pouvez ensuite mettre ces feuilles dans un endroit sécurisé ( Coffre fort, etc ... ).Pour conclure, vraiment très satisfait de mon achat, plus qu'a voir ce que ça donne dans le temps !

I have heard many stellar reviews for this hardware wallet and decided to get one.It only takes 6 apps but for my purpose which is to kinda do index investing on crypto, it serves my purpose really well.The Ledger Live software from the website works really well on my desktop too. Not to mention it really works well with MetaMask.I love the retro screen that gives me the Fallout Vault vibe too. :p
