Title: nano ledger & the bitcoin forks Post by: simongoat on November 25, 2017, 08:56:43 PM There are now a lot of bitcoin forks coming and I wonder if ledger are going to support each one. Does anyone know? it is fantastic if they do but a lot to ask I guess.
Title: Re: nano ledger & the bitcoin forks Post by: RGBKey on November 26, 2017, 05:43:21 AM I would imagine they would support any fork as long as it's economically worth it for the owners. Their entire business is a wallet so I'm hoping they continue to support the forks.

-The value of it was high enough for their users to demand it -It had a functioning codebase -It was secure for them to implement support. However, since "Bitcoin Gold" was an extremely shady group who listed a scam on their website that stole millions of dollars, failed to protect their official client from malware and basically rode off the back of BCH anyway, I find it hard to believe that there's any more relevant forks to come.

We have to be so careful. its almost possible that someone would create a fork in order to steal private keys like that.
