send crypto on physical wallet

[MisterKT]

Hello everyone,

Could anyone tell me if I can withdraw or send money to the address of a physical wallet (ledger wallet or trezor for instance) without connecting it to the computer?

Cheers.

No. Currently this is impossible. Unless the leger blue gets internet access, which I'm not sure of.
It'd cause a lot of issues if these devices could connect directly to the internet as it'd make them a bit easier to hack than the way they work in a fairly internet isolated state.

Like any "wallet", you can always receive coins to an address without the wallet being open and/or connected to the internet... Otherwise you'd never be able to find paper wallets!

For "withdrawing" (sending coins from an address)... The answer is "it depends"...

If no one else has the seed and/or private keys... Then the hardware wallet would need to be connected to a computer for you to sign the sending transaction with the appropriate private key...

However, if someone had access to the 24 word seed and/or private keys, they could simply import that into another wallet and send transactions...

The idea behind the hardware wallet is that it makes it VERY difficult for someone to get the private keys and/or seed phrase (assuming proper procedures are followed during setup and use)

Allright, got it! Thanks for your responses!
