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.

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.
