Why not just go to bithomp and create a wallet there ? It seems as good an option as a nano, and cheaper too... I agree with this too however when i was researching different wallet options i read somewhere, could have been here actually, that someone raised the point of can Bithomp be trusted that they're not storing the secret key and a public key when the wallet is created? I really don't know the answer but it did get me wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ledger nano s is a hardware key to open the lock to the zerps on the ledger. The coins don’t actually sit on the ledger nano s or any other hardware wallet.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, what I meant was just having your own set of keys is a reasonable level of security, as long as there isn't too much value involved...

Guest Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 So I'm going to make my final purchase today and am going to order the Ledger Nano S to store my zerps. Going to attempt a few week break from the crypto world and let my mind relax and let xrp fall in to place. #xrp Hoping to come back to a massive bull run.

Theres simply no recourse if the S number ends up to be fake or simply doesnt work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(one can hope) keep an eye out for the new Nano update BEFORE you download the required programs to run the Nano on your computer! The chrome extension is going to be obsolete before the end of this quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use other tools to confirm the secret key generates the desired Ripple address eg. https://ripplerm.github.io/ripple-wallet/ Any secret can be input and the address associated with it confirmed, whether the address is in use on the ledger or just a potential new one to start using. Other tools or code can be run to do the same task. (As always, do all this offline on a known clean computer to avoid risk of virus/Trojan or other logger getting access to your secret) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingFox Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Save it offline, (or via the GitHub source) and put it on USB stick or equivalent. Take it to your secure offline computer and open the html file there in the browser. Press the Change Secret button next to where it says “secret set” and enter the secret you want to check. It will work out the wallet address associated with that secret. Cross check that with the address you are looking to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure sorry misunderstood, this is true. I guess it’s down to your measure of risk and technical know how , were the keys generated securely, is my machine possibly compromised etc? (there are resources on this forum to generate cold wallets where your key isn’t exposed to the internet etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
