Not the cheapest it has been in Aus, but quite a decent price if your eye has been on this wallet

Ships directly from Amazon and sold by Ledger so still not too bad. If it was completely 3rd party then I would be a bit hesitant, but yes, your point still stands.
Save $30 on Ledger, lose all Crypto because it had malicious software installed.
It's listed as being sold by Ledger on their Amazon store, not sold by Amazon or any other 3rd party.
@studentl0an: They key words are "Shipped from Amazon".
Small risk but if I had even 1/4 a bitcoin on it, it's not worth the risk for a saving of $30.
Each to their own. Just my thoughts.
@swxfty: It can be authentic but if it's not direct from Ledger, there is a chance that someone has installed malicious software on it.
Unlikely, but possible. And if I had even 1/4 of a bitcoin on this, this $30 saving isnt worth this unlikely risk.
Each to their own like I said.
@Serpeant: There are so many guides that show how to properly format these things so that no one else can access it. If you are so scared about 'losing' your crypto to some mysterious hacker it just highlights how shallow both your understanding and belief is in the technology.
@hellousyd: Except.. he's kind of right. If you have access to the hardware, you can make all sorts of modifications to it. You can put in a completely different IC chip, programmed to behave completely normally until a certain amount of time has passed, and then phone home with the credentials.
It can even be made so the circuit board looks exactly the same, so a visual inspection wouldn't set off any alarms. You'd have to delid the chips and examine them under a powerful microscope before you could tell.
Now, normally this kind of suspicion would be in the realms of the paranoid schizophrenic. It would require an extremely high level of sophistication and millions of dollars to develop. But when you're talking about millions, potentially billions of an untracable currency, it's not so far fetched.
The question is whether buying from ledger direct alleviates any of those risks. The breaches they've had a year or two ago didn't really inspire confidence in the security of their operation.
@Serpeant: It'll see more 'unknown hands' being shipped from France to Australia than it will Amazon Warehouse to your door.
I bought one, opened it & then sold all my crypto & have zero use for it.
Second hand value: $0 :(
Buy bitcoin. Put it back on the Ledger.
Why do you want to miss the boat?
Maybe he already bought a boat.
I'll buy your old one off you, PM me lol.
For people who want jv to come with them everywhere they go.
Can't. I'm in lockdown. I'm a prisoner of Dan.
I think that would be the Negger nano.
(Neg JV on the go)
In simple terms it's a USB wallet for your crypto
Why can't you just use any USB memory stick?
Have you tried searching that on bing?
nano S or nano X?
S
Doesn't the S have pathetic storage?
Ships from AmazonAmazon
There is no guarantee that the cold wallets shipped from the Amazon warehouse haven't been tampered with by the picker packers.
People should always buy cold wallets directly from the manufacturer's website. Saving $30 or whatever isn't worth the exposure to 3rd party risks.
Remember that the safekeeping of your private keys is your responsibility and yours alone.

For this kind of 'saving', I'd rather buy direct from Ledger in France so you know it hasnt been tampered with!
