I heard trezor is the safest cold wallet, the ledger a few months back got hacked and a lot of users emails were stolen.

Brehs we holding safe? From all the meme coins not including doge this one seems like it's here for the long run.

Where you buy? From the ledger site?

I did.

Yep I agree thats why I was asking breh. I had to jump through hoops to get my ledger from them cause their site wasn't taking my credit card.

Yeah, mine was on backorder too, they're selling out, so there's a 2 week wait on shipping. Still came earlier than expected.

I remember at the time I bought mine there was a huge backorder and folks had to wait months to get one...and my bad I should’ve mentioned that I was just stating that in general and not at you per se

Facts.

What?!? always make sure you disconnect breh. .

Yea I disconnected breh. I was connected for like a week

Yeah, I feel you. But why would you go to Staples for this though? It's not technically an office supply. I'd bank on it being in a Best Buy before a Staples. Just order one from their official site.

Appreciate the warning bro. I read up on the Ledger hack before copping this and I'm still 100% going forward with it. Exchanges themselves are vulnerable to hacks, as is every bank in the world. Hell, all of us probably have information floating around somewhere out there, of data breaches alone, let alone the corporations who sell your shyt to 3rd parties.

But what I want you to answer is, did you have the crypto stolen from your hardware wallet? Or were you keeping it online? Did you have the Nano X or Nano S?

You don't technically own ANY of your crypto until you take it off of both hot (i.e., online) wallets, and exchanges (coinbase, binance, robinhood, etc.)

The purpose of the Ledger (and most other) hardware wallets, is to take the private keys that are necessary to access your crypto OFFLINE, and then hide it behind encryption, and a 12 word passkey phrase of your choosing.

If you didn't do that, you poured jelly on yourself, my friend.

Up the thread, I want to read it.

Educate yourself.

I sent it from Bittrex straight to my ledger, I didn’t even know it was possible to have it both on and offline at the same time.

It wasn’t stolen till years later and by the time it was I didn’t even have Bittrex anymore, they closed my account (and took my 2000 ADA) because of NY residency.

I got the Nano S

 

[GoFlipAPack]

Is a reason for having a coin for the price to go up?

Yea but with so many SHIB coins in circulation is it not counterproductive to price increase?

 

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

Starting to eat off of these shytcoins. Gonna take profits and put them into stable coins soon.

they want everyone t buy in making it popular then later down the line they can burn half the rest making the value increase in price....

How was it online and offline at the same time? And to steal it off your nanos wouldn't your Nano s need to receive the code and you confirm by pressing the button on it?

that's what I was thinking...but I'm no expert

 

[ORDER_66]

that's what I was thinking...but I'm no expert

I mean that's how it should work.... you increase the value of the coin by making it scarce like bitcoin is scarce... meaning there's only a finite amount out there... once they are all scooped up then thats when the real work happens

It wasn’t on and offline at the same time, that’s what I was saying

And I’m not sure how exactly they stole it

Your crypto is "always" online. That's the entire point of having a public distributed blockchain.
