Dear BTCZ community,
I saw on the message board a message about Nano ledger S integration. I first just read it and thought what a great idea and then only for 895 dollar how is this possible for so less money. After reading the proposal details I understood you want to buy ledger nano S for the development team because they don't have one. A ledger nano S costs around the 100 euro's here in Europe. Why do you need 895? And what has the development team owning a nano S have to do with integration in it's network? I really think the proposal is very misleading because it has nothing to do with integration of BTCZ to Ledger.

Why do you need such a dumb $100 USB drive anyway?
Just get a $100 old Android phone, install nothing but the Android wallet and turn it off, put it in the drawer.
- A phone is no doubt 100x easier to use that a dumb ledger nano that gets outdated in a flash.
It wont use Javascript junk to make it vulnerable to hacks like ledger was.
You turn it on and it works. No need to read a manual or watch YouTube instructions for the sucker.
It has camera and shows barcode, you can send and receive coins easily and securely.
It has a much larger, colorful LED screen.
Its secure because no one would ever imagine you have a million bucks in it so they wont mess with it.
Phones are easily tracked via GPS, Wifi and cell towers in tens of different ways, any wise thief will not mess with a phone, if they rob your house, they wont take your phone, trust me.
]You can have its location tracked and front camera take a photo every 5 seconds and emailed to you so you know what the thief looks like.
Android has its own security issues but a lot less than Windows. If you dont install "free games made in Russia and China" then there is a good change you will be fine. Better yet, get an old junk Nexus so you get updates even if the phone doesn't have service.
If you really desperately need an awkward USB looking device, buy a $2 USB stick and copy your wallet.dat on it, encrypt it and put it away in the drawer.
