As for your other questions... I'm not the best person to ask being a newbie myself!

Well that clears that up then!

Thanks for the info folks, really appreciate that.

Hey all, I'm back with another question! I'm looking to buy some bitcoin over time, probably around ?100 a month. I have used Coinbase in the past and have a Coinbase wallet but as you may also know I have a Ledger hardware wallet that I'd like all my bitcoin on. Does anyone know if I can select that wallet as the address for the crypto to be sent to rather than my Coinbase wallet, as I don't fancy losing fees when transferring unnecessarily.
I have looked on Google but can't find anything specifically, and the only way I can see to find out is to make a transaction and see if I get asked for a bitcoin address.. but unsure if that would be before or after payment is taken.

Thanks!

A lot of food for thought here, and I've learned a lot for sure. I was exposed during the Ledger hack, but should I buy a Nano X I will be getting from somewhere like Amazon and get it delivered to an amazon locker.

It's good that I can use multiple ledger devices to manage the same account.

As for the selling and buying of a second hand Ledger, surely it is only good practice to restore it/enter the pass code wrong 3 times to get it back to factory settings with a new pass phrase? The same should be said for any wallet, right?!

Just to pick up on this point, how would this work/benefit? I don't mean to come across as rude so apologies if it does, just want to learn as much as I can and wondered was all. May well be an option for me if I can get my head around it.

Thank you both for your replies! That has cleared up all of my concerns.


I think I may well end up with a Nano X to be honest, seems to have a LOT more storage on it, and it can be used directly with a phone. Just to go on from this, can I then sell my Nano S, or does the recovery phrase stay the same so it means it's now vulnerable to a buyer? I know they aren't expensive, but a mate may well be getting into crypto so could be of use to him?

Hey folks, I'm new here so thought I'd drop by and ask a few questions as I have a Ledger Nano S wallet and have had it for a few years now. I have asked Ledger but understand they are busy so thought I'd try here too. I'm sure the questions will be easy to answer for some of you here, so any help would be great!

1. The Nano S doesn't have much storage on it what so ever, so when I have multiple coins I will likely need to remove wallets/coins and add them again. I assume this is fine, and my coins won't be lost when I install the app again? I currently have three apps on there, which it is managing fine. Just thinking to the future.
2. I have my recovery phrase.. how does this work? I get that it's a recovery phrase, but what does it recover? Is it a case of it will recover all wallets to another Ledger device? Will it work to other devices/wallets?

Thanks in advance for any replies, I really appreciate it!
