nano ledger & the bitcoin forks

[simongoat]

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.

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.

I imagine that they would support a fork provided that:

-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.

Not Bitcoin Gold itself. But the wallet created by a random dev that were stealing private-keys/wallet seeds and was linked for some time by the BTG team in the BTG's official website.

That's the one:

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

I'm not quite sure it's the devs that did that, just because they already gave themselves plenty of "bounty" coins.
