May i ask how much you paid for the nano ledger s when they had the black friday discount?
The Black Friday discount in 2019 was 30%. In 2018 it was 50%. There is currently a Valetine's deal on for both a Nano X and a Nano S for $119.
So if you are a frequent traveler, go with the X? But by that, what is meant by it? Like using it in public etc?
The Nano X model has Bluetooth capabilities, so it is easier and more convenient to use on the go with a smartphone.
Because you can't send btc with your nano ledger s unless you have it connected to a computer only right? Or you could actually connect it to your iphone and that would work as well?
The Nano S is compatible with Android phones via an OTG cable, but iOS won't let the Nano S connect to Apple devices. If you own an iPhone, and would like to pair your hardware wallet with your phone rather than with your laptop, then you will need the Nano X model.
Is there a reason its a range of 6 to 10? Do some apps use more which is why?
Yes. Some apps require more space than others. It also depends on which combination of apps you install. Forks of BTC such as LTC and BCH use much of the same code that bitcoin does, and so those sections do not need to be installed twice.
Thanks for the long response.
Wait, but was the nano ledger S price 59.99 before the 30% discount? You say there was a 50% discount in 2018 but this was when the ledger was selling for over 129 dollars right? I got mine in early 2018 at retail price and paid for expedited shipping cost more than 130 at least i believe. Right now the current price for nano ledger s is already so low compared to 2 years ago.
I had no idea you could connect your nano ledger s to a phone but only android phone and not IPHONE. That is insane. But for even traders, do many get the X as oppose to S for this reason?
Thanks for that info on the apps. I mean 6-10 coins is already a good amount. Btw do you have 1 nano ledger s and one X? If you only own just one nano ledger s, would you say its good idea to buy a backup nano ledger s now since the price is already low? I mean 60 dollars before tax/shipping seem so low compared to what i paid years ago. Also are there ppl that buy 2 nano s and keep like half their crypto in each hardwallet wallet... or is that bad idea? Someone in a thread said if a person has like 15 btc which is a ton, they should get 5 wallets and put 3 in each. That seems a bit overboard right?
