Yes, I'm taking my time, probably being overly cautious/paranoid, before I send my BTC to my Nano. I've scanned my PC with several different anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-keylogger, anti-rootkit applications, and made sure it's as clean as can be. I also use the On-Screen-Keyboard when working in Electrum and Ledger Live, as I've read that keylogger apps can't read this and can only read physical keyboard inputs. But I digress.


Is it you, jerry0 ?  Grin



I've sent off a support request to Ledger directly, asking for their input on splitting BCH from BTC, and BSV from BCH, and mentioned the article from 2017 which talks about how to do it in Ledger apps [...]

As far as i understood you, your BTC are not yet on your ledger.
Therefore you can not split them using any software from ledger.

Just do:
  • Fully set up your Nano
  • Get a BTC address from your Nano
  • Send your BTC from your desktop wallet to your hardware wallet
  • Get a BCH address from your Nano
  • Install a BCH wallet and import your mnemonic code from your software wallet (not from your nano)
  • Send all BCH to your Nano
  • Repeat the last 3 steps for any other shitcoin fork
