Hi Guys

I recently got my Ledger Nano and I can say that I  really like how it works,but seems like I'm not able to paste the btc address when I want to send some funds to someone. Any of you with the same problem?

 

Are you using their web interface?

Not really familiar with that, but maybe you can couple it to a client like electrum. From there you can certainly copy the address you want.

For mine, i just exported the xpub, and like NorrisK said, imported it in electrum to create a watch-only wallet...

However, i did this because i like to leave my ledger at home, while i send most payment requests from the office. Now, i can send payment requests from addresses i got from my electrum watch-only wallet while i'm at the office. I never had any problems copy/pasting addresses from their chrome-plugin-wallet tough.

If you'd like, i can try some stuff out this evening, when i'm at home. Maybe it's a good idear to give us your OS, chrome version and wallet version...

I don't have this problem. I have the HW.1, but they should have the same firmware. Try reinstalling the client or using a wallet like electrum for the time being.


OP's asking for help on spending, not on watching is addresses.

Just re-read the OP after reading your post, you're right... I overlooked that part, sorry  :-[.

OP: if you can't figure it out, i'll see if i can help you when i get back this evening.
However, it would still be helpfull if you had your OS, chrome version, wallet version, and maybe the logs?

Yes, that's rather odd, I don't remember seeing someone else report a similar problem. Logs would help.

I figured it out guys,I was copying the address to one of my wallets to try and that didn't work out pasting it. So I'm now pasting it first on chrome and then on the ledget wallet.

been testing and I have to say that  I really like how it works. Makes me feel way more secure about my btc!

I remember having that exact same feeling when I first started using a hardware wallet.  In fact I have never lost that feeling.  Its nice to know that no computer has ever seen your private keys.  You can't leak a key, or get one stolen by malware,  if your machine never had access to it.  LOL!!

I have also a Ledger Wallet and I copy and paste my addresses without any problem by using http://my.ledgerwallet.com  . This is their official interface and it works great. Tested and it worked in Windows 10 Professional with all the latest updates and latest apps needed for such wallet to work great.
