Cicero Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 What is needed for recovery of XRP on ledger nano S, is it just the 24 words? If that's the case does that mean if someone has access to my 24 words they can duplicate my ledger nano and steel my XRP? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sootradar Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) Yes, that is correct. The 24 seed words are really the key. If your ledger is damaged then you can restore your wallet on another ledger using those 24 key words.

Jacobus Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 But what when one can't buy/order a Ledger Nano S anymore? Is there another way to recover your XRP's? You still hold the private key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobus Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) Thanx. So one needs just a compatible wallet that supports Ripple. Is it possible to have two wallets with the same 24-words-seed at the same time? So f.i. a Ledger Nano S and a Ledger Blue (or an online Ripple-wallet) for the same Ripple-address?

CryptoJoe Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 In the case that Ledger goes out of business and I'm unable to download their desktop Ripple wallet app am I just SOL? This seems like a huge issue. I'm not aware of any BIP39 wallet alternative that supports XRP. Anybody know of one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, there are some command line on github that can be used to sign transactions without having access to your Ledger. Just search this forum or post a new topic and maybe someone will post a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CryptoJoe Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Yeah, I've seen this page: https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ I'm not entirely sure what you do with that though. And obviously I don't want to type my 24 words in to that website just to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CryptoJoe Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 That's all well and good, but none of them support XRP without Ledger's desktop app. Right? So if Ledger goes away and you're no longer able to download their app then your XRP will not be accessible because you don't control the secret key.

The tool seems to have issues at present, mainly due to discontinued / updated Node libraries. I’ve gone back and downgraded Node, but it still has issues. The first run I was having to node install various components, then it started to work, until the last step and wouldn’t make the transfer at which point I had insufficient info as to what else was needed. I’m currently running Git and Node on W10, but I suspect this may be s job for Ubuntu. I think the short-term answer is to have multiple ledger nano devices, but I do worry about version levels of software overtime. BTW - the off line version of Ian Coleman’s tool works perfectly with the Wallet Seed Phrases. Edited June 20, 2018 by Mikhail_Liebenstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
