SOMEONE LOST MONEY USING A LEDGER.

ENTERED PIN WRONG AND LOST SEED.

THE CONCLUSION SHOULD BE THAT LEDGER IS BAD FOR MOST PEOPLE. NOT SELF CUSTODY.

Same happens on all hardware wallets. The conclusion is to have secure backups in metal.

- LEDGER UX IS COMPLETE SHIT.

- DEVICE AUTO WIPES AFTER THREE WRONG PINS AND YOU CANT TURN THAT OFF.

- YOU CANNOT VIEW SEED WORDS AFTER FIRST SETUP. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE YOU SAVED THEM CORRECTLY OR IF YOU LOST YOUR BACKUP YOU HAVE TO WIPE DEVICE AND CREATE A NEW SEED.

YES. SECURING SEED PHRASES IS ESSENTIAL FOR MOST HARDWARE WALLETS (NOT BITKEY) BUT LEDGER PARTICULARLY SUCKS.

I thought this so I got a Jade. Thing glitched hard and I couldn’t open it. Went to my computer and entered a 6 digit pin into the desktop software. Proceeded to drain my entire wallet without ever connecting or unlocking the hardware device. My take away, Jade is worse

You either did something horribly wrong or install malicious firmware

Followed the manual and bought the device directly from Blockstream. How the fuck can someone drain a wallet without the device. Didn’t stick around to figure out.
