I recently purchased the excellent "Ledger Nano S" which allows you to store your cryptocurrencies on. In today's crazy world digital age where the dangers of hacking, losing passwords or hardware failure are all to prevalent, this great little device proves a great security option.
It works by allowing the user to interface between your Internet Chrome browser and the wallets stored on the device. A total of five different accounts can be saved on the Nano S at any one time, however all the other wallets on offer are interchangeable at any time. You will find the usual suspects such as Bitcon, Ethereum and Litecoin as well as other less supported ones like Neo and Ripple.
The main advantage as opposed to keeping everything on a desktop wallet is that the latter option is pretty much an "offline" solution. It is similar to the popular "paper wallet method" but more robust, I feel. Though you still need to remember a 24-word phrase (in the right order) to restore your wallet just in case the device gets lost or stolen.
It's amazing how fast crypto is moving. As the prices continue to climb to astronomical levels, the privacy and security of your personal funds will become ever more significant. Therefore I decided to opt for a hardware based method of storage and I urge you to do the same if you want, what I feel, is near the pinnacle of safe keeping and in turn, peace of mind.
The Ledger Nano S is one of the best hardware wallets the market has to offer (there is also the TREZOR and Keepkey to choose from too that both offer similar type functionality) and one I highly recommend as your go-to store of "digital wealth".
大家都知道虚拟币的存放一直都是个问题。 我最近购买了一个硬件钱包Ledger Nano S。硬件钱包其实就是安全的离线设备，它能离线储存你的虚拟货币，免受黑客攻击。这款出色的Ledger Nano S是一个非常好的安全选择。
Ledger Nano S的工作原理是允许用户在互联网浏览器和存储在设备上的钱包之间进行交易。 Nano S可以同时存放五个不同的虚拟货币，但是所有其他的虚拟货币随时都可以互换。这个硬件钱包除了支持我们常见的虚拟货币，如比特币，Ethereum和Litecoin等，它还支持Neo和Ripple。
与桌面钱包上相比，它的主要优势在于“离线”。这与流行的“纸币钱包”有点儿类似，在我看来更安全可靠。万一硬件钱包丢失或被盗，只要你保存好recoveryphrase (24个特别的单词 ，而且要按正确的顺序)，就能在任意一个Ledger 硬件钱包上还原。这个非常重要。
随着虚拟货币的日渐增长，价格继续攀升至天文数字，个人资金的隐私和安全变得越来越重要。因此，我决定选择一种硬件的存储方法。自从我买了Ledger Nano S，真心感觉保险安全。
我认为Ledger Nano S是现在市场上最好的硬件钱包之一。当然也有其他像TREZOR和Keepkey可供选择，他们两者都提供类似的功能。如果大家拥有一定量的虚拟货币的话，我会建议大家也考虑一下购买硬件钱包。
I am wondering what the shelf life on this is. I know that with flash memory, you could maybe trust it for 5-10 years. I know that seems like a long time, but for your long term holdings, it may need to last awhile.
I guess you could always swap them out. But I would prefer something more permanent.
I also don't like that it only has the ability of keeping track of 5 wallets. I have more than 5 cryptos in my portfolio and I would imagine they know that. I feel it is a way to make us give them more money by buying multiple.
It anything does come out that supersedes this device, I have no doubt we will all have ample time to swap over to the newer tech. However, I feel they will be a great option for years to come.

That's a good idea. I personally feel safer with some titanium dog tags though
ya is more safe
Im considering buying one to secure my crypto portfolio
It's a great way to secure your precious funds. I'm happy with mine for sure... :)
its a great innovation.. i would like to try where from we can buy?
Direct from their website is where I got mine from (https://www.ledgerwallet.com/products/ledger-nano-s).

Thanks for this. I was thinking about getting one of these hardware wallets for my bitcoins.
I need to get one of those!
Yeah. Useful stuff.
just got the same one :) I legit posted about that t on Facebook a couple days ago lol.
Good going. :)
How is this better than keeping your passwords on regular USB's?
Keeping your wallet passwords (in plain text) on your USB is quite dangerous. This is a much safer option and quite user-friendly.
You can just buy a USB drive and encrypted with Veracrypt. This will make the drive password protected.
There are other options for sure. But I feel this choice is more compatible with the masses in terms of "ease of use" and "user friendliness". Let's see what other options the future brings though... :)
a regular usb drive?
Yes, you can take any USB flash drive and you can use veracrypt or some other linux tools to encrypt it. Personally I recommend creating a live USB of your favorite linux distro, secure it to all hell, and keep your wallets there.
When you create the linux os, make sure to encrypt the entire system and you are all set!
Yes, you can get any USB drive or any kind of drive including MicroSD and you can encrypted with Veracrypt. USB drives are more versatile and easier to carry that's all.
Veracrypt is the offshoot of Truecrypt which was very effective encrypting any drive.
wow that's very efficient I am definitely going to have to purchase me one. I think is very sophisticated and personal. Looks like a good way to keep all cryptocurrency secure. Great post as well keep up the great steeming. I will be upvoting as well. well done
Thanks very much. One of the options available, I felt most comfortable with this one. :)
Nice i love the tool
Greetings @rea
數位資產的儲存一直讓我頭疼也害怕，決定跟隨妳的腳步買一個讓自己安心點！😊
我是觉得不错啦。
Damn, i've been thinking about buying this for the last couple of weeks, seems like a great innovation. I might actualy get one today
Seems like a great idea. Easy to use and safe. Maybe i should buy one too
I need to get something like this sorted... currently at the mercy of the exchanges which are off line or not working half the time!
how much does it cost?
I think it's a little over 100$.
Last time I checked it was on amazon for $119 but I looked today and its currently out of stock.
These hardware wallets are amazing tools but I think it's really only a necessity for people who have large amounts of crypto.
The way those prices are skyrocketing, I think "everyone" will eventually have a large amount of valued crypto, lol.
I just doubt about the usb port is blue in color, is that a special edition xDD Reflection!
I don't see that as a big issue. :)
I think I need to start looking at one of these too.
BTW, The Chinese portion has a typo "Bitcon" :-)
After some research, I feel they are very useful and secure, @ace108.
good suggestion for everyone , thank you !
Thank you, @bxt. :)
wow brilliant thoughts
据称这是土豪的必备！
呵呵， 也是一种投资啦 ，买个安心而已。
Great choice!
I think I should also buy this.
哇，高级
黑色星期五减价的时候买的，呵呵。
其实买来我也不会用😭
很简单的，看youtube视频， 呵呵。
哇，高级
I wonder how the company prices these devices. Of course, the customer would make purchase decisions based on their technical knowledge & their risk-price assessment.
It is not much money considering how much crypto most people have. Better safe than sorry, I say.
好主意，转发了。。。
谢谢。
Desconozco el idioma pero es un post algo llamativo, intentaré traducir. Éxitos..
Great, i have ordered mine too which in the way!
Good job! You won't regret your decision to buy one. :)
Can't wait to get my hands on it :)
I need one of those!
The future wallets, crazyness ;P
Interessante..
I think I am going to order one.
I need one :D
What happens if these get lost or stolen, do you lose your coins?
Now is a great time to buy. I hear supply is running thin.
really need to get myself one of these. when you send stuff out, do you plug it in and then go through some software? i'd love to see that process too.
I bought the Ledger Nano (no longer in production), and months later bought the Ledger Nano S with a friend (we did the 2-pack deal) when it released. Ended up giving my first Ledger Nano to my brother.
I'm satisfied with their products and you guys should have confidence when buying a Ledger product. A few of my friends are picking one of these babies up before Christmas. If you're new to crypto -- Rule #1 never leave your investments on the exchange, the hardware wallet is the solution.
Cheers!
nice post! resteemed :)
very nice thing!
i met a guy before who order this crypto wallett as well, i tried to ask him how that supposed to work because at that time i was kind of new into that topic, but it was hard for me to understand how that work.
