It sounds like you don't fully understand the role a Ledger device plays : It does NOT hold any tokens It only can hold a COPY of your XRPL account access credentials ( so there could be another copy on another device with equal access to said account holding the tokens ) BillyOckham and WarChest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there is absolutely no way to prove that you haven’t written down the key (and therefore can access the XRP later without the ledger in your possession) what you’ve asked doesn’t seem doable or sensible and people shouldn’t trust that type of method. Also the escrow of the XRP doesn’t seem to be of use in what you are doing…. escrowing the XRP just makes them unavailable to anyone until the ending condition. At which point anyone holding the keys to the target account can have them. Only a transfer to a new account or a post sale change to a regular key with master subsequently disabled would secure the transfer. But there are lots of traps potentially in there too. Sorry to say, but selling the ledger is a terrible method to transfer XRP. The escrow is not useful in that situation either. It’s a cross-cutting concern in a sale. Just transfer the XRP.

MattHowell Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 Ok so the answer is no, I thought as much. I had fully grasped but am aware there’s a lot we all don’t know so simply asked the question, keep your answers short next time, your answer is ‘to your knowledge it’s not possible’ but thanks for replying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if a person clearly doesn’t understand what they are asking about then a short answer is a disservice. WarChest and Triceratops 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
