Was scared at first, know wallets atleast were vulnerable with physical access if no strong password was applied.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Thanks for the heads-up on this, as I wouldn't ever have known they were giving a discount like this--I probably should sign up for their mailing list or something, but I hate those kinds of things.  Too bad 1) I don't need another hardware wallet right now; 2) The Nano X isn't the To The Moon edition; and 3) I can't afford to splurge on something I probably wouldn't use.

This is a fantastic deal, and I'm kind of wondering if Ledger has a surplus of inventory that they need to get rid of or something.  They make such a quality product that I don't think many Ledger owners find themselves needing to replace their devices all that often.

Are you talking about the "hack" reported by Kraken Labs? Fairly sure that only applies to Trezor wallets... Ledger wallets do not suffer from that issue due to the use of the Secure Element.

Another great offer, but I won't use, because I'm forever alone :/. And I don't really two more hardware wallets.
But I'm wondering why Ledger are giving Nano S wallets for free again? Maybe they want to get rid all remaining their Nano S wallets ASAP and remove it from market?

I also hate newsletters, but I can tell that Ledger don't spam my inbox often.

I never knew they also celebrate Valentine's day.

I'm pretty sure most users won't leave their wallet out in the open and put a sign 'here's my wallet'. Not to mention it's a Trezor issue, not this one.

A decent offer for lovers. I might buy this if my gf is also into crypto. Sadly we're 12 hours apart and I doubt she likes an HW wallet as her birthday present.

[crwth]

I'm just weirdly thinking that they almost celebrate every occasion that we have in this world. Lol. But at least you could say to someone that if they are interested in getting a Ledger, they could just wait for the next holiday to come and they could score the best deal with that.

I do think that making Nano X as the main wallet is good, I'm just not sure what you could do with the other one. I use mine as an emergency wallet that I wouldn't touch for anything unless of course, the emergency.

Sadly we're 12 hours apart and I doubt she likes an HW wallet as her birthday present.

It would really be weird to gift someone (not just your GF) with a crypto-related device and they got nothing to do with it. Maybe giving that to someone would lead them to support Bitcoin as well? Hmm.

We seem lucky this year, 3 months of continuous discount offers, starting at Christmas, Black Friday, the beginning of the year, Valentine and so on. Does anyone know about the upcoming occasions when new discounts that could occur?

I'm wondering why Ledger are giving Nano S wallets for free again? Maybe they want to get rid all remaining their Nano S wallets ASAP and remove it from market?

Generally, they offer almost the same offers with some features, and this may be an indication of the success of previous seasons.
Does anyone know how much profit has been achieved?

[Pmalek]

I probably should sign up for their mailing list or something, but I hate those kinds of things. 

I have never received spam or bullshit emails from them, so you don't need to worry about that. I also used an email address that is not on top of my priority list.

@joniboini, @LTU_btc
You don't have to gift it to your partner. Buy the bundle together with a friend or sell the other one and get some of your investment back. Give it away or use it as payment for a service... the options are numerous.

[Lucius]

Another Ledger Nano X & Ledger Nano S bundle? They seriously want people to choose/use Ledger Nano X as their main hardware wallet rather than Ledger Nano S

Nano X is being promoted as a mobile HW (on the go) because it has Bluetooth, which is combined with Ledger Live mobile app. Definitely a far safer option than any mobile wallet, especially for those who like to spend some coins in physical stores. On the other hand, the Nano S is being promoted as an HW that never leaves home/apartment security and where most of the assets are stored. This definitely makes sense to me, but while the price of the Nano X is still quite high for most, the older model won't be so easy to forget.

Does anyone know about the upcoming occasions when new discounts that could occur?

Probably on the occasion of Easter, and maybe halving. For those who are considering buying an HW, any opportunity like this is a good thing. €59 savings it's not something that looks bad.

[Lucius]

ETFbitcoin, it is true that only OTG cable gives almost the same functionality to Nano S, but still, the idea of Ledger is for users to use 2 hardware wallets (for those who need it) which certainly makes sense considering that they need a business strategy to sell the new model while retaining the demand for the old model.

I personally used Electrum on my smartphone, but when the Nano X was at a 35% discount, it seemed like a pretty good opportunity for extra security.

[HCP]

Or perhaps you can find a friend that is considering a hardware wallet... and you can split the $59 savings...

For instance:
One person gets Nano X for: $89
Other person gets Nano S for: $30

Seems like a win for everyone... or you can simply buy the Nano X and get a "free" backup Nano S... Whichever way you look at it, it's still a decent savings of around 30%

If I didn't have a hardware wallet already and a friend offered me the chance to get a Nano S for $30... I'd be like:

In case if someone may be interested, Ledger have another offer. This time they are offering Family packs with 3 Nano X or 3 Nano S wallets:
3 Nano S with 26% discount

3 Nano X with 17% discount

People (I mean reputed resellers) can literally sell the other device locally and earn profit so this way Ledger would lose. They could simply sell Ledger Nano X at a discount but now I can see the price of Ledger Nano X and the combo price is the same. Earlier they were offering discount coupons which was more reasonable.

[Pmalek]

In case if someone may be interested, Ledger have another offer.

I couldn't find this on the site directly but I received an email with that offer from Ledger. I guess you did as well and you took the links from there.
If anyone is considering buying a Ledger device my advice is to subscribe to the newsletter. They might have more of these special offers in the future.

Everyone who sells something is doing it for profit, and so are those who resell a product. I personally don't know at what price resellers buy from Ledger, but surely the discount depends on the amount of units they buy. Ledger certainly does not lose anything in wholesale, and any reseller can sell devices at a price that brings him profits.

Of course, it doesn't make sense for resellers to sell at a higher price than the official site, unless the final price is identical or approximately the same when all costs are added up. So if you can buy device directly from Ledger for $100 included shipping+VAT, would you buy from your local reseller for $105? Makes no sense, unless it is a direct purchase in a physical store so you as buyer save some time on delivery.

I got this email as well.  If you already have a nano ledger s, should you buy this deal?  I mean if you have no hardware wallet, is it a no brainer to get this since you are essentially getting 2 hardware wallets?  How much is total price including tax?  What about shipping?  When i ordered my nano ledger s years ago, i did expedited shipping and total cost was like 130 dollars or more i believe.  Now i see the ledger nano s price is a lot less.



But in terms of using it, is the nano ledger x better than the s?  But i believe the nano ledger x... you can send btc without having it connected to a computer right?  I know with the ledger nano s, you need to connect it to a computer... am i right? 



My nano ledger s i had for 2 years, the screen i notice recently is very dim.  Anyone here ever had this issue?  I read nano s does not use a battery but does last for 5 years.  So anyone had to replace it because of a dimmed screen?  Im close to positive i did not do anything with the brightness as i never even touched that ever.



If both were same price, do you get the nano ledger x or the s?  I assume you could hold a ton of other coins with the x right?  The s, i know you can only hold a few and need to remove/install app each time if you have more than 4 coins right?  I see on the site you could install up to 100 coins... that is crazy.



If you plan to get another ledger nano s, would you say best to get this deal as oppose to just buying another nano ledger s? 


To those that have both of these, which do you prefer?

[HCP]

But in terms of using it, is the nano ledger x better than the s?  But i believe the nano ledger x... you can send btc without having it connected to a computer right?  I know with the ledger nano s, you need to connect it to a computer... am i right? 

You still need SOMETHING to connect to it... You cannot send directly from the Ledger Nano X. As with the Nano S, you still need a computer or phone, it's just that with Bluetooth connectivity, you don't need an OTG cable to connect to your phone..

If both were same price, do you get the nano ledger x or the s? 

The Nano X obviously. It's newer and has more storage and features. There is a reason why the Nano S is cheaper than the Nano X

[Pmalek]

Nice offer, but definitely bad timing. Not only because of the possibility of getting infected with COVID-19 if we consider how many hands package need to change, but also because of the crypto price that has fallen below all expectations. If one chooses to buy, be careful and disinfect the shipment as the virus can survive up to 9 days on different materials. Good luck to pick a valid word
