New ledger Flex junk

[dkbit98]

Just when I thought ledger can't trick people more than they already did, they decided to release another expensive wallet called Flex, and they are selling it for €249!

I don't see a point in releasing another touchscreen wallet, but sales of ledger Stax is probably going slow (they claim 100k waiting list), no wonder they are charging crazy price of €399 for that.

Ledger Flex is a bit smaller in size than Stax, it is using smaller 2.84” e-ink touchscreen.

Source code remains closed source. no surprise there, and connections are the same like in Stax, usb-c, bluetooth and nfc.

Don't waste your money on another money grab from ledger.

They are maybe lying, but one of their latest tweets talks about a waiting list with over 100.000 people waiting for a Ledger Stax. Even if half of that is true, it's still a lot. You should never underestimate people's willingness to purchase stuff they don't need. I see no reason to purchase either Stax or Flex, unless you want your NFT's to be visible even when the hardware wallets are turned off on multiple devices.

They recently made a few tweets about trying to fix the problem of blind signing. The link to the product description you shared mentions, "What you see is what you sign", but I don't that's it. Also, it's a software feature that doesn't require the release of a new device.

Ledger is putting the excitement back into owning Bitcoin.

Do you ever wake up in the morning, feeling bored by the knowledge that since you're the only one who has access to your keys, your coins are secure?  How freakin' dull is THAT?!

Let Ledger bring the excitement of taking risks by giving them and companies the average Bitcoiner knows nothing about the ability to flex their way into your hardware wallet to extract your keys.

Why be cold when you can be hot!

Why have rock solid security when you can flex!

Ledger is making hardware wallets hot again.  Their reputation is on fire!

It's a shame they also follow what newer HW company is doing. I'm sure there are already 2 or 3 hardware wallet with big screen and show NFT. And now they also promote controversial "Ledger Recover" on Flex page, even though it's not shown on Nano X page.
