I received a surprise in my email a couple of days, stating that my Ledger Nano S - scheduled for delivery in late March - would be arriving quite soon.
Lo and behold the UPS driver brought me a late Christmas present today as I finally can feel secure about some of my non-Steem crypto-asset holdings.
The first thing that I will do is to reset the Ledger. Even though I bought directly from the company, I won't be taking any chances. Then I will create a seed, check addresses, reset the Ledger and see if everything is as it should be.
Then I will begin the process by transferring some small amounts before filling it up. I plan on holding the bulk of my BTC, ETH and NEO (Neon Wallet integrates very well) on this Ledger.
Keeping my coins safe from hackers and exchange meltdowns will help me sleep at night.
As it says right on the Ledger itself, truly there is "truth in numbers".
If you haven't purchased your own hardware wallet, go pick up a Trezor or Ledger today.
Very nice! I saw they were only pre-order till March the other day. Excited you have one already!

You can get them on Amazon for $75-130 depending on the day, I got mine for $75, you can get them for $99 fairly often but $75 is fairly rare but does happen often enough.

Native Apps & Mobile are coming soon too!
I want to try a Trezor as I think I would end up switching, the 4 app limit on the Nano bugs me. But I do like the Nano a lot.

It doesnt bug me too much. I know what I have and just delete the "app" to it if its a longer term hold.

Nice! I still thought they were on back order. If you had to get your Coins from Nano to an Exchange (let's say there was devastating news and impending crash), how long would it take to transfer?

Dunno level of tech saavyness but it was a bit of a learning curve for me. I found some good youtube videos that were helpful and used myetherwallet for ethereum and erc20's. It was a bit frustrating at first but once you figure it out, its a piece of cake.

The new apps will supprot ERC20 tokens natively and you won't have to use MEW (which I no longer trust)

Such good advice! I have the same Ledger coming in March and will feel much more comfortable using that than an exchange or hot wallet.

This is the exact same thing that happened with me! I was pleasantly surprised how fast it came and how easy it was to get set up!
