I was wrong about Ledger pulling the update. They are actually doubling down on this. Pretty amazing that such a successful company that sells millions of special use devices that secure billions of dollars of crypto could choose to totally destroy their customer's trust in them in just a few days. Dead company. All for a $10/mo sub.
What the hell were they thinking? I've emptied my Ledgers to my old system (Bitcoin Core on a freshly wiped PC) and am checking out Trezor.  Attached File |

I’ll put my tinfoil on and ask is this yet another attack on the crypto ecosphere as a whole?
I have always worried that somebody or an entity goes after the cold wallet providers. “Going after” can take many forms. Up to and including paying off/buying out the owners/CEOs etc. I trust no one anymore and wouldn’t put anything past anybody when it comes to wealth/greed/corruption at this point. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GraboidHunter: There's a pretty big upset over the new Ledger firmware ... which may or may not be able to access and send your seed from the hardware device to other companies. The developers are being very coy about it and users are furious. Not quite sure what to think. Seems like corporate suicide to me. I just bought two new Ledgers and will be seeing if I can get refunds. Whatever you do, do NOT update your firmware. Link left cold because reddit sucks. https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/13itm7u/comment/jkbyyfp/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=14&context=3 Don't get too upset here. The Trezor's keys can be read out of the device, so it's not secure in any fashion at all. The Ledger's cannot. The new firmware has the ability, if you sign up for the service, turn it on and approve it *on the device* to send an encrypted version of your seed to Ledger's recovery services. Now why anybody would do this I have no fucking clue. But the keys have always existed in the device. Any firmware on the device can access the keys, as it must to generate the signatures. This doesn't *really* change anything, and Ledger is still the only thing on the market that isn't vulnerable to a direct readout of the keys in memory. Ledger's announcement of this was very poorly done, but it's really not the shitshow it sounds like. And btw the Nano S can't even load this firmware and isn't capable of connecting to this service at all, so go for that one if you're nervous about it. |

The Trezor is no different, except it also uses a vulnerable device that allows the keys to be read off of it externally with a logic analyzer. The Nano-s isn't supported by the recovery service. My suspicion is that the microcontroller in it doesn't have the ability to do the operations that would require. It's *very* limited, which people complained and complained about. |

I concur with your first paragraph. I did more research after my post a page-ish ago and I realized I didn’t truly understand how Ledger functions. Still have some more learning to do but I’m not as WTF about it as I was when they first announced the update (even though I’m not interested in the service) For anyone interested, Bankless podcast has the CTO of Ledger on during their Wednesday podcast. He has a heavy French accent so it’s a little tough to follow but the hosts and he gave good insight and “what if” scenarios. But what I really got from it is how ledger/trezor/etc hardware wallets function as it relates to its software. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Switchback_Arms: Anybody still buying Bitcoin? My kids say I need to, thinking about dipping my toes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ekzsZZGfskBitcoin is off the radar right now. There's been an observable 4 year cycle in Bitcoin that has repeated three times now and we were generally aware of it well before the most recent one so it's not entirely in hindsight. The theorized driving force behind this 4 year cycle is that Bitcoin goes through a "halving event" every 4 years where the issuance rate of new BTC is chopped in half. It was originally 50 BTC per 10 minutes, and then it dropped to 25 BTC, and then 12.5 BTC, and now it's 6.25 BTC. So if you make the presumption that the 4 year phenomenon will continue then now would be the best time to buy and that window of opportunity is probably until sometime after the next halving event in 2024. The fact that the next halving event also lines up with a likely time frame for the Federal Reserve to start reducing rates could help add some fuel to the fire in late 2024.  Attached FileThat said, you do have to appreciate the fact that Bitcoin can be really volatile when you "zoom in". We could easily head back down below $20k between now and the next halving just as easily as we could get above $40k and stay there until the next halving. There's a pretty wide range that Bitcoin can trade in "in the moment" even if you make a long term assumption that the long term trend up will continue to hold. You've got to be ready for that or don't bother wasting your time and mental health. |

Edit:TLDR
Ledger continues to suck ass. On my second bootload over 3 days (each reboot takes over 24 hrs) and 5 device crashes to move my holdings. Fuck Ledger. Might be better just to recall the remaining wallet addresses on a new device at this point and move them that way. Save time vs dealing with the actual Ledger. EDIT 2: Sayonara, Ledger! Broke up my final transactions. The number of old wallet addresses was conflicting with the hardware's ability to load and broadcast transactions apparently. Had to make several separate transactions for the remainder holdings to successfully load and permit approval. Fuck the Ledger. Happy I never have to enter that seed phrase with those two tiny buttons ever again since the device's ability to crash was a bi-monthly occurrence.  Mempool isn't too bad right now. More than when I was sending at 2-3sats/vB last year...but I got through in a surprising 30 mins to a confirmation on just 21sats/vB...Was tempted to go sub-20 but my last 21sat transaction took about 12 hrs after broadcast and given everything with Ledger was a PITA I just wanted to see them verified. Not so much a hurry as a peace of mind at this point. My security just got taken up a notch. |

Might be better just to recall the remaining wallet addresses on a new device at this point and move them that way. Save time vs dealing with the actual Ledger. EDIT 2: Sayonara, Ledger! Broke up my final transactions. The number of old wallet addresses was conflicting with the hardware's ability to load and broadcast transactions apparently. Had to make several separate transactions for the remainder holdings to successfully load and permit approval. Fuck the Ledger. Happy I never have to enter that seed phrase with those two tiny buttons ever again since the device's ability to crash was a bi-monthly occurrence. Mempool isn't too bad right now. More than when I was sending at 2-3sats/vB last year...but I got through in a surprising 30 mins to a confirmation on just 21sats/vB...Was tempted to go sub-20 but my last 21sat transaction took about 12 hrs after broadcast and given everything with Ledger was a PITA I just wanted to see them verified. Not so much a hurry as a peace of mind at this point. My security just got taken up a notch. Did you go with Trezor? I haven’t had coffee yet so I’m too lazy to try to find if you already mentioned it. The only ledger that gives me trouble is the OG version. If the USB connection is bad or a few years old it can't connect very well. It loses connection if you jiggle the cord. I use it to generate some of my wallets. |

Is there any problems with the block stream jade wallet? I rarely see it brought up. Always cold card, ledger and trezor.

Jade wallet is a sound choice from what I could tell, just not my choice. There's not many companies I'd put much faith in after Ledger's statements even after their backpedal. The Ledger wasn't a concern... for now... but in the long I think it's now a risk to be considered what companies will roll over to the government and back door fuck you. In combination with my shitty og nano s device it was time to move on anyways. I'm not kidding when I say I've had to reboot that device over 2 days 87x. I just don't make transactions other than as deposits so the motivation to switch was not pressing until recent affairs. Won't disclose my choice as a matter of privacy, but anyone in this thread that knows my stance on the industry probably can assume what hardware device I chose to handle my signature and security. |
