RippleEvangelist Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) If you need a NEW 24-word seed I guess you have to first transfer everything out of the ledger and then reset it and configure it as a new wallet and transfer your coins back to the new wallet addresses. You can not keep your existing wallet addresses if you want a new seed. EDIT: The seed determines how the wallet addresses/keys are generated.

ringer2 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Does anyone else find there to be nothing intuitive about the nano or any other wallet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure to park your coins elsewhere before you reset lol Tonnie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongRun Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Well you don’t even have to move your coins out of your wallet when you reset apparently. I did move the Ripple out just in case, but no need to. You can reset it, set it up as a new device, create new wallet(s), then reset again, restore the original seed, move everything from those wallet(s) to the new wallet(s) that you created on the new seed. Then the last step, reset, restore the new seed. Quite a rollercoaster, but I’m back on the safe side. Thanks for all the input. ZX81_1k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
