9% OFF 🤦🏻♂️
Did something new happen with Ledger?
a new "feature" where you can recover your keys from some centralized institutions if you KYC because the software can extract your private key and upload it to external servers.... which so purely and idiotically defeats the purpose of a hardware wallet that it's hard to comprehend WTF they were thinking.
Basically they built a backdoor into their own device to extract the private key and are calling it a feature.
Oh wow... Sounds like I need to get rid of my ledger.
And move all coins to a new wallet? You could also not upgrade I guess. Not sure if that will work.
This is insane. They’ve already had a data breach where they doxxed their customers. Though it seems if you don’t update the firmware you *might* be safe. The whole idea of opening an API to pull out your seed phrase is terrifying, and the exact opposite of what most customers want/expect.
Any podcasters or YouTubers, please help get the word out!!
What cold storage do you recommend, used ledger for years but must say I am not impressed with this at all. Obviously for someone who doesn't understand code it is hard to decide what is best.
There's currently a 15% off code: NoKYCwSE
Thanks for the discount! Just used it.
I keep losing my hardware wallets... I've had many boating accidents over the years.
Should I get rid of my ledger if they ask for my SSN and birth certificate also? It seems super slick to just have these in their cloud.
Unintended consequences.
nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 disincentivized you and others that have less than 15% promo codes to spread the word by offering 15% using NoKYCwSE ;)
Can use both promo codes.
They need to make their website more reader friendly for noobs. I have been there multiple times (and today) and in a effort to preach about how good their security is it makes it look too complicated to me so I haven't bought one. I even downloaded the Sparrow wallet once and couldn't figure out how that works. I just think it's too complicated for mainstream users like myself. Which sucks because I really want one so I can be like the cool kids.
And no one replied to you yet?
what software does the cold card utilize? currently have a ledger and considering a switch.
How is this different from what ledger is doing?
