Talking about death... one of my Ledger wallets have died. It has a burn mark near the LCD (deforming the plastic case) as if it had internally shortcircuited or something....

Anyone knows if there is some warranty replacement or something?

Has it happened to anyone else?

check this reddit thread:

WOW! That is EXACTLY like mine looks like. Same burn mark in the same corner! I wouldn't be able to distinguish that one to mine!

Gotta read it

Thanks!

P.S.: Looks like there is not much to learn there except I am not the first one with that same problem so maybe there is hope for a replacement.

np.

i have a nano s thats just for erc20 stuff (trezor can do erc20 as well but i wanted them separate), i have two trezor ones (the originals, which i like MUCH more than the nano) and a trezor T on its way. use those for the main stacks.

i prefer to spread my coins around multiple devices in case one device (or its seed) gets compromised or destroyed. although the since the seeds are spread around so much unless most of the state i live in gets wiped off the earth thats a pretty small possibility.

but still i feel safer with some on paper, some on varied hardware, and smallish amounts of spending money on computer and android phone.

I also have a Trezor, but for some reason I don't like it as much as the Ledger. I have had it pretty much unused for over a year now. Maybe it is just that the Ledger was the first one I bought and I got used to it. Maybe this is a good time to move the BTC and other supported coins I had on the dead ledger to the Trezor, and the unsupported altcoins to another Ledger.

I do the same spreading over devices and some into exchanges for trading. Never put all your eggs in one basket no matter how many backups you have. It's been some time I stopped using "classic" paperwallets though.
