Batty Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Hi there. Anyone out there using a Nano Ledger? I have had one for a few years but my laptop died on me and I brought a new one so need to install the app. Im almost certain the last time i downloaded the actual ledger live app it was from the google app store. I cant find it anywhere now? Is it safe to download from ledger website? Nervous about scams. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mohinga Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 The Ledger Live app is secure, and can only be dl/d from their site. There have been malicious apps on Google Chrome; so best stick to the Ledger Live app. There are 2 models, the Ledger Nano S, and the more expensive Ledger Nano X. I use a Nano S on Linux. It was a bit of a hassle setting it up; but Ledger's website has lots of tutorials. I assume it is probably easier to install on Windows. If you haven't used your device in a while you will likely have to update firmware. Reddit also has lots of good info https://old.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/ Youtube also has many tutorials. e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGe2GgfkO64&list=PLxdf8G0kzsUVkZ5_Jc6PyG_j4K8htg-i3&index=7 The main thing to remember is that your 24 seed words should be recorded manually (e.g. pen and paper) and never entered on a website, or electronically copied/photographed etc.. The device itself is a bit fidgity, and not as user friendly as some other wallets. But it's cheap, and does the job. I had one die on me once; so now I have a few just in case backup is needed.
