I recently got my ledger nano S, and after i went through the set up process i decided to send what i had in my BTC Core desktop wallet to it. when the ledger nano S told me to pick a block chain i chose Legacy, because I was unsure if Core added SegWit. I made sure the receiving address was correct before i clicked send, and I chose the recommended fee option that the application provides. My transaction did not appear on the Ledger Nano S chrome app at the time of sending, as well as of yet. Now it's stuck in "unconfirmed hell", and i'm sweatin' a bit. Block chain explorers say my Tx ID cannot be found as well. Do i wait for more blocks to be mined, or have i sent what i owned to a "Burn" address accidentally? The balance of my wallet has already been deducted so i cannot make a fee adjustment to the transaction. I attempted the same thing with my LTC core wallet after installing the ledger LTC wallet onto the nano. No problems, and was confirmed within minutes with the recommended fee option. The transaction appeared immediately even though it was not confirmed yet. I understand that LTC works differently than BTC, but i believe that i should have experienced roughly the same outcome with BTC.

Edit(s): Currently at a loss of what to do next... Guess I'll keep rescan-ing my wallet  Undecided ( 18:47, 1/15/2018 )
(1/16/2018) Strange thing is... When i sent some BTC that i purchased from an exchang to my Ledger it was confirmed, and properly stored into it like a normal transaction and the fee for the transaction was in total 0.0005 BTC. So it confused me on how this one went through but not the other, even with a lower amount payed in tx fee.  Huh Either way... Time to do more research and try some stuff!
(1/20/2018) After performing some of the suggested actions brought up by user Thirdspace, and letting my wallet sync for a couple of days i can proudly announce that my transactions have been confirmed!  Grin Cool
