To all planning on entering: be careful with hardware wallets from a third party. These have previous been used to scam people. There was case all over reddit about a year ago of a user who bought a device from a third party which had been pre-initialized, and all their coins were stolen: https://www.ledger.fr/2018/01/12/scam-second-hand-ledger-device/

If you do receive a hardware wallet from a third party, there are steps you should take to ensure it is a genuine device and has not been tampered with: https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002481534-Check-if-device-is-genuine

Always make sure to update to the latest firmware, initialize the device yourself, and write down your own 24 word seed.

Great information for everyone that don't know about it, We also thought about this and will order/pre-order it from the official website and just fill in the winners shipment address etc!


https://altpocket.io is also a well known website with over 105,000 users, we take security really serious, thats whay we are giving away a hardware wallet in the first place.   Smiley

no one ever should run for such competition as buying or getting a hardware wallet from a 3rd party is always risky.

We can also give the winner the amount that the ledger cost in bitcoin/usd so the winner can order it them self.
