RE: Myetherwallet.com / mycrypto.com drama - "New" owners FUD
That was very helpful thank you. You really broke it down. I was aware that hackers could change the address but not that the ledger displays the address as well. Thats good to know. I just transferred everything onto my ledger last week so I'm really glad I did that. Thanks again :)
You're welcome!
And yes the ledger is still a very safe place to story it. Worst a hacker can try is fool you to sign a transaction that's fake. But the key itself is stored seperate from the desktop pc and so a hacker can never do anything unless the physical buttons are pressed.
Hardware wallets are kind of cool.
What you should do, just for the fun of it, is use your ledger nano s to log into some of the DEXes out there like Radar Relay and Etherdelta. Once you realize how easy it is to connect, you kind of start to realize how things in the future may work! Do note that most people who are new to dexes will make some beginners mistakes and spend more money than they wanted.. so if you want to test things be sure to use small amounts and read up on ethereum gas costs! :)
ok i'll check those out. thanks again
