I’ve tested out 6 Ledger hardware wallets over the years.

2 nanoS
4 nanoX

1 nanoS screen is now completely broke and won’t render the GUI

1 nanoX just gave me a “battery no longer charges” error and then upon using it again just performed a factory reset (presumably wiping the seed) without asking.

33% failure rate is pretty fucking unacceptable with ledger. I’m not using these devices actively even.

Just remember to backup in metal folks…

I was trying to get some manufacturer resiliency by using Coldcard and Ledger for a multisig, but I’m done with ledger after multiple PII leaks and critical HWW malfunctions

Just a PSA I guess…

FWIW, I thought the same and went with Coldcard and Jade. All is working just fine.

I have a Ledger Nano S from 2017-18, it only has some shitcoins on it from years ago but the display is pretty much dead, I need a magnifying glass to read it and it's not just extremely dim it's totally messed up too.I took my btc off the Ledger years ago, I have 4 Coldcards which are far superior....
