[@EastCountyDreamHomes]

nice video mate, would you use hot wallet temporarily until cold wallet arrives or just wait?

[@cyberscrilla]

If you have crypto stored on an exchange. I’d rather have it on a hot wallet than on the exchange. If you haven’t bought any crypto assets yet, and you are considering buying at least $100 worth (basically the cost of a hardware wallet) I’d wait to get a hardware wallet. - Alex

[@DanWarburton]

Great video. Considering moving to Tangem. Only drawback I see is not having a seed phrase to recover but we’d have 2 back up cards. Seems so simple and a durable system thatI don’t get why it’s not more popular?

[@cyberscrilla]

Every wallet has its pros and cons. Tangem is great for beginners and it is actually extremely popular. Personally, I use multiple hardware wallets/seed phrases to diversify my assets for additional security. But for $40-50. Tangem is great! - Alex

[@DanWarburton]

@@cyberscrilla makes sense to use multiple wallets though I’m wanting to rely on one for ease. Isn’t is something to consider with wallets that need a seed phrase for recovery that if that seed phrase gets found, either on paper or on some stainless steel contraption and they know what cold wallet we’re using, they can restore new wallet and take our crypto? With the Tangem cold wallet, they need to steal one of the cards, our phone and know the passcode to unlock the phone AND the passcode to enter into our Tangem account. Makes sense that Tangem is safer right?

[@cyberscrilla]

You can use almost ANY hardware wallet to import a seed phrase. It doesn't have to be the exact wallet or even brand someone uses, so yes you are right. Tangem and other wallets have their pros and cons for sure, so I wont say Tangem is safer than something that comes with a seed phrase. But you make a good point.

[@RichardRietdijk]

Tangem just introduced optional seed phrase for their wallets.

[@stevehk1800]

I like the Tangem a lot. The only issue is it needs wallet connect which isn’t supported on one of my larger protocols so connecting is a problem. Is there a work around?

[@cyberscrilla]

If it’s your storage wallet, I wouldn’t be connecting it to anything. Use a software wallet to connect to dapps/transact and transfer any funds to Tangem for safe storage. If you’re using it as a daily/burner wallet, you might have to find a new protocol. - Alex

[@stevehk1800]

@@cyberscrilla not sure I can change. Okay, here’s a question. I have a few wallet addresses on one ledger. I want to move one wallet off that ledger to another cold storage. If I transfer the tokens I pay a tax that I’d like to avoid. Can I instead move that particular wallet off the ledger onto another device and remove it from the original ledger? My sim is to have one wallet on only one cold storage.

[@trustinginhim1698]

So help me understand. As long as we don't opt in to the ledger update everything is good or should we just change wallets?

[@cyberscrilla]

So they say. If you don’t opt in for the service, then they can’t access you seed phrase. So at that point, it all depends on if you trust ledger or not with that statement. Because before, they said the firmware could not access the seed phrase, but now they’re saying it can if you opt-in. Thus, they lost the trust of many. - Alex

Wouldt it be possible to get hacked if you have a maliciuse program on your device if you use a tangem wallet? Wouldt it be posible for the program to see the nfc scan with your private key or have i missunderstaded somthing?

[@cyberscrilla]

Nothing is impossible to hack. In Tangem’s case, it’s just VERY UNLIKELY. Their site says it all: The card is EAL6+ certified, and the firmware is installed on the card chip once and once only, during the manufacturing process at the factory. After that, it’s physically impossible to do anything with the firmware: you can’t read anything from the chip or load your own version of the firmware onto it. Even if we assume that a hacker has managed to do this, the card would be unusable. The firmware attestation service would determine that the software has been changed and warn the user. - Alex

[@ludvigm.nielsen1346]

@cyberscrilla but wouldn't a program on your phone be able to collect the privat key/seed phrase from the nfc scan when scanning the card? Or is it the samme when plugging in a ledger would it also be possible to take the data from my ledger device when plugging it in to a phone?

[@cyberscrilla]

@@ludvigm.nielsen1346 no it wouldn’t. That’s what the secure element is for. It ensures your private key remains on the card. The private key does not leave the card and the NFC doesn’t communicate the private key externally either.

​@cyberscrilla How can we recover our assets from Tangem if the app is no more available from Apple Store or Google Play Store since there's no recovery phrase? Thanks.

[@cyberscrilla]

@@MS-ic8lj The app is open source and the code is available on GitHub, so any once can re-create it if needed. If it got to that point-personally I would transfer my assets off Tangem to a different wallet. But I don’t see that happening in the near future.

Does letting a a battery go dead lithium or otherwise make any cold wallet useless? Like if I let my cellphone go dead(maybe apple with oranges) the device works if I just charge it. Cause if I actually get this crypto currency bought and working, I definitely want to know if my absent mindedness could affect retrieving my funds.

[@itsophishle7044]

A crypto address is on the blockchain,. and the funds stored at the address- are on the blockchain. A wallet,. is nothing more then a window- allowing a person to see the items being stored at the address, on the blockchain.. Whether a wallet is hardware (like these cold ones), or software (like metamask),. or any other way- all of them are technically not "holding funds".. The funds- are on the blockchain,. the wallet allows you to see/put/take.. We users use a seed phrase ( a collection of 12 - 24 words) to create a unique wallet address (that is on the blockchain),.. a device/wallet then views whats at an address (provided you give the device/wallet the same seed phrase to create an address on a blockchain)... so if the batteries died, recharge it. Funds are safe. Broke the item? Buy another one, it'll ask for a seed phrase- give it the same one you used originally, BAM funds restored on new device...as the device/wallet is nothing more then a window to see whats written on the blockchain- and interact with it.

[@cyberscrilla]

Two things: First, if the battery simply dies because you have to recharge the wallet-that’s fine. Second, if the battery permanently dies (eventually it will after years) your crypto is still safe. It’s stored on the blockchain, not your wallet. You’d simply enter your secret recovery phrase into another wallet to access your funds I hope that answers your question. - Alex

Is the nano s the older one not the plus immune to the current issue?

[@cyberscrilla]

Depends on what you mean by “issue”. Ledger Recover is the subscription service that when activated by the user, sends your private key externally. Initially, this is only offered on the Nano X (and likely all devices thereafter) via a simple firmware update. Now the bigger “issue” is whether or not you should trust Ledger period. The previously stated the firmware could not export your private key, now all of the sudden it can. According to Ledger, they can’t send private keys externally unless the user opts-in for the service. So it really comes down to if you trust the company or not. - Alex

@@jimbean8643 If that’s what they say then I suppose. But who really knows? That’s what I mean, if you trust Ledger then more power to you. I’m not sure why Ledger couldn’t technically release a firmware update with Ledger Recover for the Nano S, as it’s the same hardware as the Nano X (minus Bluetooth). The only reason they say that is because they have retired the Nano S and haven’t released a firmware update for it since 2021. BUT. They could.

[@user-zq1vj5is6w]

[@cyberscrilla]

Ey! You know it! :)

[@asteriskesque]

The proper term for Ledger's seed recovery is "Extraction." I won't use a wallet that has key extraction firmware. And since Ledger's code isn't fully open, there's no way to prove it's safe. Even Ledger admitted that: "There's no backdoor and I obviously can't prove it" That's a quote from reddit user btchip, who is also a Ledger co-founder. Ledger retroactively screwed all of us by turning our cold wallets into hot wallets with key extraction firmware. I'll never trust them again.

[@cyberscrilla]

Thank you. It’s understandable that you will never trust Ledger again. That said, a small percentage of users MIGHT actually prefer the extraction option (mainly crypto beginners). Ledger failed to implement the method in a way that everyone would be happy. Instead-they lost trust instantly.

[@asteriskesque]

@@cyberscrilla - The issue isn't that they implemented the feature in a way that makes everybody happy. The issue is that they sold SIX MILLION cold wallets with promises like "Your keys are always stored on your device and never leave it" and then one day they turned them into hot wallets without our consent. That's fraud. And some may say "If you don't want to use Recover, don't use it." That's ignoring the fact that Ledger wrote code to extract keys over the internet and they put that code on your wallet whether you subscribe to Recover or not. I think Recover is a fine service to offer. But turning cold wallets into hot wallets is fraud. I paid for a cold wallet. Ledger's own website said "The secret keys or seed are never exposed to the BLE stack and never, ever leave the Secure Element." Then they wrote code to extract keys from our wallets over the internet. That's fraud.

[@cyberscrilla]

Maybe. But the service is optional for now. You don’t HAVE to put that firmware version your device if you don’t want to. But I know what you mean. They really dropped the ball on this one.

Ledgers recovery feature is confusing to a lot of people. If you do not sign up for the recovery future which cost monthly or yearly then you will not be affected once so ever. The update does not allow them to obtain your keys without you verifying the transaction. Even if the government was to subpoena Ledger to give this information it wouldn't be possible because they wouldn't have it. If you had opted into the service they would have the capacity to obtain the other two shards needed to reconstruct the rest of your private key. This is solely a business tactic for the next Bull Run that is expected they're trying to get the new people that buy crypto in this next Bull Run to stay in crypto a lot of people are going to flood the market that have no education once so ever when it comes to crypto. The biggest financial institutions in the world know that this is going to be the biggest Bull Run and they're trying to make a profit

[@asteriskesque]

"If you do not sign up for the recovery future which cost monthly or yearly then you will not be affected once so ever." That's not true. Since Ledger's code isn't open, there's no way to know. And since Ledger now uses key extraction firmware, Ledger devices now have an over the internet attack surface for hackers to exploit. And anyone who says that's not possible is a fool since the code can't be verified. Even Ledger admitted their code can't be fully verified.

Correct. They are trying to appeal to non-native crypto folks too. But, the fact remains. The announcement rubbed many people the wrong way, and they instantly lost trust as a cold wallet manufacturer.

100%. I’ve read comments elsewhere that suggest Ledger should have just created a completely new cold wallet that offered the extraction feature vs including it in the firmware. I thought this was a great idea. Then consumers would have the option to choose and Ledger could’ve maintained trust. Unfortunately, it may be too late now.

[@asteriskesque]

@@cyberscrilla "The announcement rubbed many people the wrong way" It's not about the announcement. Ledger said "The secret keys or seed are never exposed to the BLE stack and never, ever leave the Secure Element." Then they wrote firmware to extract keys from our wallets over the internet. That's fraud.

[@laughingbird]

I assume if you don't update your firmware you should be fine. As long as your device still works without the updates.@@asteriskesque

Only buy open source wallet, if ever closed source make sure it's a reputable company/brand.

Yes, some people prefer open source. And although a company might be “reputable” that can change overnight with one announcement. Just look at Ledger.

Would Ledger still be able to access my Ledger Nano X even if I opted out of the Ledger recovery service?

[@cyberscrilla]

They say “no” that’s not possible. It’s like a transaction, the user has to approve it. BUT, since their firmware is closed source, no one really knows what they can do with the it. So it’s not IMPOSSIBLE. But Ledger claims it won’t happen.

[@laughingbird]

@@cyberscrilla I would say they have capability to access your seed phrase even without the subscription, if you allowed the updates since the announcement. It's the new firmware updates that make extraction even possible. If your wallet still works fine without an update then i would not update the firmware.

[@cyberscrilla]

@@laughingbird Without prof, it’s impossible to say that Ledger has access to users’ seed phrases otherwise or without opting-in. That’s just speculation.

What do you mean faulty battery and why is it stressful? Even if the battery dies, you can still use it when plugged in. Or you can simply import your seed phrase into another wallet. - Alex

@@cyberscrilla KeyStone Gen 3, has a fixed non-user-replaceable battery, that's a deal breaker. Now 'Foundation Passport' takes the lead over all, they use a standard Nokia format battery found on the net.

[@cyberscrilla]

@@Muzammil.S Deal breaker for some, but not all. Nearly every hardware wallet (and phones) have internal batteries. Plus even if the battery dies, you can still use the device when it’s plugged into a power source. Def worth noting, but I’m more concerned about overall security, user friendliness, and coin support. The downside to the Passport (although nice) is that it is Bitcoin-centric. Most users want to store more than just BTC.

[@danieltorres1839]

I think Ledger wiped away my crypto assets. They've disappeared from my Nano X after months of secure storage. I've been robbed.

[@cyberscrilla]

This is unlikely and practically impossible. Your assets aren’t stored on your wallet, they’re stored on the blockchain. What you described sounds like they may have stopped supporting the assets you hold, but you still own them. Have you viewed the blockchain to see if your assets were actually transferred out of your wallet? - Alex

[@wolfxman69]

Ledger Nano X is the best ! I’m a novice old fashion guy and it was easy to understand and set up !

[@cyberscrilla]

It is a good wallet depending on your desires. It is really user friendly. Unfortunately Ledger has lost the trust of many of there former and future customers with the announcement of the seed phrase recovery. It will be interesting to see how cold wallets evolve as crypto advances too.

[@braddater5834]

I own a ledger Nano X and moved everything off it because of the update. The 3 shard key thing and a possible subpoena from the government killed them. So I bought an NGrave Zero wallet wich is 100 percent air gapped and open sourced.

[@_Rustodian]

I just watched a video of a woman who had all her XRP stolen off her ledger nano. The new update for the sharing of the seed phrase is the likely reason. I am moving all my crypto off my ledgers ASAP. They have royally screwed up if even one person's wallet was hacked. And there are numerous cases of it happening.

[@cyberscrilla]

@@_Rustodian It is HIGHLY unlikely that Ledger Recover was the culprit. It’s not even available at this time as the rollout has been put on hold. Don’t make the mistake of believing ANY hardware wallet can’t be hacked. Devices that are compromised are almost always the result of a user error. Very rarely is it the result of the actual device being digitally or physically “hacked”. - Alex

@@_Rustodian I think she actually bought her ledger from a 3rd party so it was unfortunately already compromised. But i havent updated to the new firmware yet because of the sharing bs
