Be careful guys... https://news.bitcoin.com/mans-life-savings-stolen-from-hardware-wallet-supplied-by-a-reseller/

So, I've set up my Nano Ledger to support my holdings in XRP, litecoin, and Ether, using the Chrome App extensions for each. They are very straightforward to use and I have no issues with either. However I have holdings in a number of other ERC20 coins such as OMG - plus I want to get involved in one or Two ICO's that I also see as having potential. (also on the ERC20 framework) For peace of mind & simplicity, I want the ERC20 tokens to be saved onto the ledger, but i'm unsure how to do this correctly as there is a lot of inconsistent and contradicting instructions. Ideally I want to continuing using the chrome extension app that is native to the ledger, however the instructions I have read showing how to add ERC20 tokens advise that you need to use MyEtherWallet (MEW) interface. Is it possible to add ERC20 tokens the native chrome extensions for the Ledger rather than MEW? If I need to use MEW, then what's the best way to store the tokens - I've followed the instructions as per the following link but it still doesn't answer my questions https://ledger.groovehq.com/knowledge_base/topics/how-to-secure-your-eth-tokens-augur-rep-dot-dot-dot-with-your-nano-s I basically go > send ether and tokens > plug in nano > unlock ether tab on nano > enable browser support / contract data > select and connect ether wallet... So... 1) Once the ledger is connected I get a screen similar to below - all of the addresses will be empty with exception of the top one which will have my current ether balance and the same address as my chrome extension wallet - do I use the address where my ETH is saved to store all my ERC20 tokens given that i'll need gas to send them, or do I select a new empty wallet addresses for each ERC token? 2) Once i've selected either the ETH address or empty wallet address. I then click on 'add custom token', and get the following drop down menu which asks me to add the address , token symbol, and decimals. Token symbol is straight forward, but what does the address and decimal relate too? Why is this address important? 3) Finally, Once i've created the custom token option, how do I then receive funds into that wallet. Do I use my original ETH address as the recipient wallet? Sorry for the noob questions, but the more I read into it the more I confuse myself, and the more I need to understand what everything means - maybe I just need to go with it!

Hi all Titel says it pretty much: If I (newbie) get it right, then as soon as secret key is entered in an internet connected PC, the wallet is cold. Now, at some point I'm going to plug in the usb into the pc, no? Say I want to send sth from the usb, ehm.. I'll have to enter the secret key no? So how do I keep a 70$ stick wallet cold? Confused... Thanks for your help!
