LedgerNano X (Onyx Black) Crypto Hardware Wallet - Bluetooth - The Best Way to securely Buy, Manage and Grow All Your Digital Assets

The Ledger Nano X is an excellent hardware wallet. The Bluetooth feature makes managing crypto and NFTs on the go super convenient. It’s secure, supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies, and is compact enough to carry anywhere.Battery life could be a bit better, and it’s not cheap, but the peace of mind it offers is worth it. Highly recommend for anyone serious about protecting their assets!

It stores mainly the mainstream coins like ETH, BTC, XRP, XLM, or any big traders on exchanges. It takes 20 minutes to set everything up and get the ledger running if you are tech savvy. For your first few transactions pleaseallow time. From the picture it looks like the size of a USB stick, but it is actually a few inches bigger. The touchscreen is easy to use the ledger does lock every time the screen locks or if it’s not in use for a while be prepared to enter your pin every single time you login to the ledger. I currently use an iPhone 15 Pro and it pairs very easily with Apple products. You have to have the wallet no less than a foot away from you in order for it to pair with your device. The product is as described and works very well. The functionality is very tech friendly.

I have gone through the steps to set this up and it wasn't difficult, but it does take 30 minutes as indicated by the instructions.I'm new to crypto currency so I haven't downloaded anything to cold storage, but you will need a way to store your keys to anything you pull to cold storage.The main reason you pull crypto to cold storage is for safe keeping - as long as the crypto is active or in any hot storage solutions, it is at some level of risk of being hacked. But it likely isnt worth cost of moving to cold storage unless you plan on holding the crypto for some time. I didn't see the fees involved until later - you may want to check what your exchange charges to move to cold storage because each charges differently. There is at least one that offers a couple of moves to cold storage monthly if that is in your plans.I expected to be able to set up my own key on the device & all you can set up is the PIN you use to access its menu. The key that transfers between exchange and storage is preset when you go through the initial setup. Note that some receive wallets where the initial setup is complete. I did not receive on like this and I believe Ledger owns this account - at least if you go to the Ledger website, it points you back to this store to purchase wallets.If the initial setup were complete, there is no way I'd use this wallet. With the set up passphrase, you can set up any ledger wallet to match it. So be aware where you store that set of words.Using the actual device isn't too difficult, you have 2 buttons that scrolls through lists. When you click both at same time, you select whatever you are on. The most tedious part of setup is writing down all the words. There are 3 or 4 cards included to write the entries on. Once you have them, you will have to go through and pick the words in order they go in. I thought I messed up and was having to start with a new passphrase - the screens look very similar when you are asked to verify. Once that is complete, you are set to download crypto applications.Each type of crypto has an application to match. This is why many buy this version of a wallet rather than the cheaper one Ledger makes. The cheaper one only has enough storage for 2 or 3 types of crypto to display at any one time. Be aware, you can delete the app after downloading your crypto keys. You will just be able to quickly access the keys for any app that is currently installed. Since I do not know how many I will store, I felt like it'd be easiest to invest now and not have to worry later.One key differentiator is which crypto can be stored on each wallet. They dont all match. If you want to put anything unusual into cold storage, you need to make sure your wallet supports it. This wallet supports way more types of coins than my exchange offers in the US and in my state. Crypto is limited for which can be purchased at the US level and at the state level. Also which exchanges can be used is limited the same way.

I use a mac and works perfectly. Save wallet

** 6/29/2019 - Update **I have slowly went back and forth with Ledger Support with no resolution to this point and they have gone silent too long. The last update was them telling me the transferred my issue to their 'Teams'. A couple of days later I asked for an update and have heard nothing from Support or their Team. So, I have initiated a return to Amazon.I tried the suggestions Support gave - to reset Bluetooth parings and then the reset the device and start over. No change. Cannot connect to my phone. My phone is a Sony XA1 Ultra with Android 8 and all current updates applied. The phone does not see the Nano X when opening the Bluetooth paring settings on the phone. However, the phone does see other non-pared Bluetooth device as well as paired devices and is able to work with the paired devices fine. So, I tried pairing the Nano X with my PC that has Bluetooth. My PC does see the Nano X - but a new discovery - the Nano X does not support connecting to a PC via Bluetooth. How ridiculous! I have found where others have ran a virtual machine on their PC running an Android x86 emulator and can connect the Nano X to that and then use the Ledger Live App that way - but what a kludge of a workaround! This, along with the poor support, has given me reason to adjust my review to 1 star verses 2.Anyway, apparently the Nano X is working to some extent with Bluetooth as the PC sees it. Perhaps a standards issue in following Bluetooth protocols on the phone or the Nano X? Not sure which and I'm not going to buy a different phone to test.I submitted my initial support ticket with Ledger Support on 6/17 - and as of today 6/29 - no resolution and lacking responsiveness have turned my off. I will not buy this unit again - at least for a while. I'll let them work the bugs out of it first, then I MIGHT buy it again later. For now it is no more useful to me than the Nano S - and that is currently much cheaper of a solution.** End Update - 6/29/2019 **** Original review: **I setup my Nano X yesterday. The instructions were a bit lacking. I wanted to clone an existing Nano S - which I did, but the instructions were not as detailed and thorough as they could have been - which is concerning - I don't want to lose crypto assets due to a simple mistake. In the process of putting in the secret keywords to restore the previously existing wallet info, it was a little difficult. It has two buttons that you use to confirm a selected word, but often, the buttons click at slightly different times. I think this caused it to fail the first time around as I think when I tried to confirm a word - it ended up advancing to another word in the list before recognizing that both buttons were pushed, causing me to enter the next - incorrect word. It would be nice if it would show the word you confirmed, and then let you re-confirm, but it didn't - just goes on to the next word.So, I got it restored and working and was able to use the Ledger Live app on the PC to install the currency apps on the Nano X for currencies I work with. That all went fine - other than, it would be nice if this screen in Ledger Live would show if the app is already installed. It only shows the option to install - even after the app has already been installed. But it worked at least.The other thing I noticed is the batter drains REALLY fast while working with it. I'd guess maybe an hour before dead from a full charge - while on and being used. That is a guess - but I had it at 57% charge and while trying to connect it to my smartphone over Bluetooth - maybe 20 minutes worth, it was at 25% when I gave up.That leads to the primary issue. I got this primarily to be able to use it with Ledger Live App on my phone via Bluetooth. However, my phone as of yet, has not been able to 'see' the Nano X as an available Bluetooth device to pair it. I found an article on Ledger's support site that said to reset Bluetooth pairings on the Nano X and to restart it - but that made no difference. I tried varies combinations of turning on/off Bluetooth on the Nano X while turning on/off Bluetooth on my phone, restarting my phone and doing all the same again. Also used the Ledger Live App to setup a Nano X - which it appears to try to pick up the Nano X via Bluetooth - but nothing ever worked and Bluetooth settings on the phone never acknowledged the Nano X device. The phone did see other available Bluetooth devices that I have not paired, so the phone seemed to be working fine.I started a Ledger a support ticket - but received an email back saying due to larger than normal support issues that it could take 5 days before they get back to me! You'd think that maybe when releasing a new product that they may have beefed up Support a bit to handle what should be an expected uptick in support requests. So, I ordered this last week, but ended up being out of town when it arrived and now got to it yesterday to set it up. Add 5 more days and then who knows how long to go back and forth with them via email - and I may start approaching the time limit on returning this through Amazon - so return it now - or wait? Not sure yet and not sure if I'll re-buy it either.I'll update this post if I end up dealing with their support to resolve this issue - if it can be.
