As Black Friday approaches (29 November), Ledger announced that in the next 7 days all products will be on discount by 30%. This is like every year a good opportunity to buy a hardware wallet at a great price, although it is possible that Ledger will make another sale for the Christmas and New Year holidays as was the case last year.

For anyone with a significant amount of Bitcoin or some altcoin/s, it's never too late to invest in security, better safe than sorry ;)

I've been waiting for a while to pick up another Ledger device to use as a second back up. I had been hoping for 50% like they had last year. 50% might have just been enough to entice me to pick up a Nano X and relegate my current Nano S to a back up device, but 30% isn't. I have little interest in the vast majority of altcoins, and the recent Nano S patch largely resolves the storage issue anyway. My hardware wallet rarely leaves the house and when it does it works on my phone via cable, so Bluetooth would have been more of a gimmick to play with than a useful feature for me.

Oh well. Another Nano S it is then. :)

Looks like the To The Moon edition of the Nano X isn't available on Ledger's site anymore, nor is it on sale on Amazon.  Oh well.  That was the only thing I would have bought with the black Friday discount since I don't really need another hardware wallet. 

30% off is one hell of a discount on everything else, though.  Hopefully newbies who've never used a hardware wallet will take advantage of the sale. 

Good to know that Ledger has something planned for the Black Friday madness that everyone wants. At least to those who don't have a hardware wallet would benefit a lot from that discount. I feel sad if someone bought like one week before the discount, it might have some emotional effects.

So reading some of the replies, it depends on the person's preference if picking up an X or just an S.

So for iOS people: the Nano X because of it's none-OTG capability.
Android people: if they have OTG capabilities, then it would save them more money.

I wanted to buy a Nano X but it looks like I have to wait longer because it is still expensive for my wallet.

Well, hopefully it is not going to be obsolute in 2020. My Nano S is still doing good but I want to go full HW for all my cryptos. Next time then.

Personally, I think that the 30% discount is something that can be considered a very fair price, and for those who think it's too small, it's possible that the Nano S will be even cheaper in the next promotional sale. Both hardware wallets are identical in terms of security, but the Nano X is still a newer and somewhat more advanced model.

By looking at prices Nano X is now about $90 in total (free shipping+included VAT), and Nano S is exactly half that price. As the current owner of the Nano S, I have plans to buy a Nano X.


I don't want to interfere with your financial situation, but Nano X would cost you at this point 0.012 BTC, which is only 15 posts in CM.

It's a good offer, but I'm expecting a further discount (50% off) in December, it was 50% the last time so they could bring it back.
@KeepKey says that there is an amazing Black Friday deal offering, although they did not explain much (a mere $5.00 for a period of time.^[1])
Does anyone know about Trezor's offers?

Trezor is also offering 30% off for Black Friday according to BitCryptex.  I recon he would know, he's a member of Trezor's affiliate program.  A few days ago he posted this:


A couple of months ago ShapeShift was giving away KeepKeys.  I got one for free, they even paid for shipping.  A few weeks later they were offering them for $10 to new ShapShift members.  I wouldn't be surprised to see free KeepKeys again.

These deep discounts are hurting my head, I wouldn't mind getting another Nano X and another Trezor T.  But does a guy really need two Nano Xs and two Trezor Ts?

It's already public and available: https://shop.trezor.io/

AFAIK they are selling them for $5 now (for the Black Friday promotion).

I don't think so, lol. I only got a Nano S and I would love the Nano X. But I see no reason to buy 3 hardware wallets. Some people may like a backup, but this seems unnecessary for most people.

Am I seeing this right? Is the Nano X + Nano S pack cheaper than a single Nano X?

Damn it, I love a bargain.  I pre-ordered the Ledger Duo-Pack last year, bought a Trezor T for myself (B-day present) this year, took advantage of the free KeepKey offer, and recently order two sets of Trezor-One 3-Packs for Christmas gifts (but there's one extra.)  ;D

So, yeah, I have 5 freaking hardware wallets.  ::) 
 


I'm seeing the X for $83 (USD) and the duo-pack for $104.

LOL. I wish. :D

Weird. The price just changed for me.

I saw them in my local currency (BRL) a few minutes ago and the duo-pack was like R$ 40 (~$9) cheaper than the single X. Not sure what happened. :P

Yeah, refferal links seem not to work for me for some reason, but at least, I get this kind of information earlier than other users. I got another e-mail today. Shipping to the USA is now free!


I am kind of on the same boat. I have 3 hardware wallets right now. I would have 4 if I hadn't sold my Nano S.

I'm finding the Ledger S absolute rubbish on my Win10 64 laptop along with LL.

It's forever syncing or stuck on 'go to display screen om Ledger Device' or something similar.

I have updated everything as stated.

It's taken me 3 days to add BTC, BCH and XRP ( i also hold another 10 coins at least!!)

I don't understand how people can say use the s as a backup and x fo use?

Surely they would just be to completely new wallets with different recovery keys/differnt password.?

Or are you relating to somehow combining the two?

Plus i have read that the S can now only hold 2 apps at a time with LL!!

Dragonizer, I doubt the problem is in your Nano S (although this possibility should not be rejected), but you have some problems with your PC/OS. You know this is true since Nano S is working just fine in your old PC. Remove Ledger Live, (delete his folder also), try to update your Windows via Windows Update, check your hardware. Then try again with the latest Ledger Live+latest 1.6.0 firmware+latest coin apps (remove old apps from Nano S and install them again - BTC&ETH first).

Regarding backup and using Nano S+X, both devices can have the same seed (identical address/es). First, you create seed on Nano S, then you enter the same seed on Nano X. In case something bad happens (device damaged or stolen) you have the second device fully operational.

You should read better, Nano S can hold much more than 2 apps at the same time with 1.6.0 firmware.

P.S.

Pay attention where and how you posting, editing post is not same thing as making a new post.

It honestly sounds like some weird issue that would seem to be specific to your Win10 laptop and/or your Nano S device... dud unit? bad USB ports? bad driver install? ??? It is very strange. Do your accounts have hundreds/thousands of transactions or something? ??? Are you running via a VPN or TOR? ???

I have zero issues connecting/installing apps/uninstalling apps/adding accounts etc. It takes a matter of seconds to add/remove apps... and scanning/adding accounts takes less than a minute etc. But I only have like maybe 15-20 transactions in my accounts.

It is also quite possible that your device itself is bad. Maybe try and create a ticket with Ledger Support... see if they can help you troubleshoot the issues with your laptop/device combo and maybe get a new device if it is determined to be the source of the problem. It certainly shouldn't take more than a few minutes to get an app installed and an account setup in Ledger Live... let alone "hours"!!?! :o :o :o


Correct. You basically just have the same seed mnemonic restored on both devices... they will essentially be "clones" of each other... So, if one device breaks, you should be able to simply use the other device and it will have all the same wallets/accounts available etc.


It was never as low as "2 apps"... and it has nothing to do with Ledger Live... but with the fixed memory size of the device itself... and that some apps in the 1.5.5 firmware unfortunately ended up with an increased size that restricted the number of apps that could be stored on the device being lowered. I believe that it would generally be around 4 or 5 apps (depending on the specific apps used).

In any case, as of Firmware 1.6.0... vast improvements have been made and the app sizes reduced (particularly ETH), so it's now possible to have a much larger number of apps stored on the device at the same time. I got BTC, BCH, DOGE, LTC, ETH, STELLAR and XRP and I think I still have more room for apps.


I'm sure you're aware that the "dashboard" on your device is the screen that allows to you scroll through all the apps + settings option... you should NOT have any app "open" on the device... if you do, scroll to the "Quit App" option and select it.

@Dragonizer
As a Ledger user myself I have never experienced the issues you have and surely it has something to do with your device and the way you use it.

HCP asked if you have hundreds/thousands of transactions?! That could explain the synchronization issues.
Also, Ledger wallets are not suitable to be used to receive mining rewards and have multiple small, dust-like transactions sent to them. Is that something you do? You should read this if that is the case > https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005165209-Receive-mining-proceeds

Edit: I just noticed you posted in another thread and that your problem is related to receiving mining payments so there you have it!

There are still a few hours left to buy all Ledger devices at a promotional price, and for the last day Ledger is giving an extra 5%, so in total, you can get 35% discount. Promo code which users need to apply on checkout is LASTDAY.

Actually it’s 5% over the already discounted price of 30%, meaning that it’s actually a discount of ~33% (depends on location). :D

Read the asterisks at the bottom of the email.

Damn, these Ledger Black Friday deals are so attractive. Maybe it's not 50% as it was previously, but 30% discount is great deal. It would be interesting to try Nano X, but I won't buy it. One hardware wallet is fully enough for me - I got my Nano S on Black Friday 2 years ago.

Well, I'm quite happy with what Ledger offered this Black Friday, I saved about 35% on the Nano X which is a really good discount for me. I save almost $50, which is not bad at all.


50% was on Nano S last year, but not for Black Friday and not for Nano X. It is possible that Ledger will have a similar promotion this year for Christmas and New Year holidays. I also have a Nano S, but another hardware wallet as a backup will certainly come in handy.

Yeah, you're right, I forgot exact numbers, I just remembered 50% discount 2 years ago when I bought my Nano S. And obviously, last year there was no discount for Nano X, because it was just freshly released back then.
