Ledger Nano X

in #cryptocurrency6 years ago (edited)

Hi Steemians

I recently bought a Ledger Nano X. I own a Ledgee Nano S already, and expecting an upgrade with the Nano X. Bought directly from Ledger Website.

Comes with this box which has a short instruction manual and the papers to write your word Seeds, also a USB cable, although it is bluetooth enabled for connection to your smart phones. I prefer the USB cable for now, haven't tried the bluetooth.

It is larger than the Nano S, but has shorter keychain

The cable is also different from the Nano S

The buttons are bigger and located at the front part, instead of the top for the Nano S.

The Ledger Nano X has battery inside as sometimes you need to run it with your smartphones. The Usb cable also works as charger when connected to the laptop.

The biggest reason for upgrading to Nano X is that it allows you to install more Apps than the Nano s which only allow about 4, and the hassle of deleting and installing apps if you have more than 4 coins will probably make you buy NanoX.

If you are upgrading from Nano s , you can use your Nano S word seeds and it will give you access to all your coins you hold in the old NanoS.

Small problem

There was one problem though, my Bitcoin App cannot sync to the Ledger live. So i am currently using the old Nano S to access BTC, and then all the rest with the new Nano X. Not sure why. I have sent email to Ledger and still awaiting for their reply. Will post an update on it when the problem is solved.

Is it worth the upgrade?

If you are holding many different coins then i would say so. If you only have 4 coins or less then no

Thank you for viewing

Nice crypto wallet . I have not deeply info on such wallets .

This is valuable article. such a great technology . useful information @djohan
Have a nice day

thank you goldcoin, yes they were successful with the Nano S, now Nano X would be an upgrade from the Nano S

That's great time to keep crypto safe and secure with that and one question i would like to ask is there any way to personalize with name i have seen somewhere so just wanted to ask

thank you blazing, yes i have seen some people put writings or labels or names on their ledger device, but i think it's better to not name it for security reasons

Good move...be safe!
