Gringa Gets a Legder Nano S
Good Tuesday to all you Steemians!! With the run up in June of both BTC and ETH, I thought it might be a good idea to find a better way to secure some assets.
So I decided that I should buy a hardware wallet, since it's the safest ( idiot proof ) way to store some valuable little goodies offline. I firmly believe offline is the best.
After I realized that my trusty Amazon account would not yield me a Ledger Nano, and ebay prices were crazy, I decided to buy directly from Ledger.
I actually received my Nano S yesterday by registered mail, way before they said I would arrive. That's right, they under promised and over delivered, super awesome.
Well, I thought you guys would get a kick out of a foodie doing a post about a hardware wallet. I can do more than just take pics of food, not much more, but a little.
ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST. And by the way, my intro post did a huge $0.21

I have several. Really great products.
Make sure you have two copies of your 24 words stored in two different locations. Only write them down with pen and paper. Never type into a computer. That is the entire point of the device.
I recommend looking into the passphrase feature and the pin shuffling.
The passphrase allows you to set another word (so a 25th) to be required to access certain wallets. You can keep one word (memorized only) that you keep as a decoy to give to an attacker or government should they force you to reveal your password. This also acts as a security measure if your paper key backups get stolen by someone.
I just joined Steemit and good food is one of my top priorities in life. I recently preordered a Ledger blue. Shipment is set for end September. How long between order & delivery for your Nano S? I'll be sure to follow you and check out your recent food posts 😉
I have several, first ones came fast but that was years ago. I got a few for my family this summer and it was last batch so it took about a month. Came in last week. Next batch is September though.
That is awesome info, really awesome
no way, into this little thing all this is encrypted already? WOW!
That is crazy!
This is a genius investment! I wanna know if it works well for you!
I will definitely keep you posted
Yes after you get to try it out for a couple of weeks let us know your thoughts! I need to get one once my crypto accounts grow large enough.

I will. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment @fullofhope. I really appreciate it
This is really interesting @gringalicious. It gets me thinking.
This tool can give you more of an "in control" feeling.
I totally agree. It adds another level of freedom
Awesome post! Motivated me to make one myself after receiving mine yesterday. How's your experience with it so far? @gringalicious
I own a ledger nano(they don't sell it anymore) and a ledger nano S, and I can tell you that you won't regret :) they are a really good hardware
Fantastic @figox, thanks so much for chiming in
Do I need to get one now 😬
Well, perhaps. In my research, it's one of the safest ways to store offline while still having some ease of use.
I went for a trezor, I must say though that the nano certainly wins in the looks department!
Yeah, I do like the form factor, very small. I think the controls on the Trezor are probably more robust. But, both seem to be great options for offline which is becoming more and more important I think
I think so. No more fear for us!
I need a ledger too :(
Well, I hope you can get one soon @jwolf. Thanks for commenting
