Any news on Ledger! Still great news, just ordered mine. Insane that we raised over 20k euro's in just a couple of days. VIA community is strong!

I think it takes some time to get all the proper information over to the ledger team and have them integrate it.  I cant wait myself, and am surprised at how quick the funds were raised.  This community has some good backing.

What are those news with Ledger actually about? What does that mean for Viacoin? Sorry, not too deep into that stuff.

They're integrating Viacoin into Ledger Wallet, which is a hardware wallet used to store cryptocurrencies. This means that Viacoin will have hardware wallet support for storage and safekeeping!

Oh I see. I always thought that this is available to almost any coin

No it is not, Ledger and other hardware wallets support very few coins


and not too hard to get.

It is hard to get, we had to raise $20,000 to make it happen, though we did do that in like 24 hrs or something by just donations


Very cool though to get an extra option for safekeeping.

It isn't just some other option, it is the ideal way to 100% safely store VIA in an hardware wallet.
