But we can't also prove that there is no flaw either, and I personally WON'T gamble my Bitcoin savings on it by storing them in a hardware wallet that has closed source firmware. I'll probably use it for shitcoining very small amounts of Bitcoin through Magic Eden Runes market merely because I have already ordered it. But if I remembered this topic before I purchased it, I probably will not buy it.

Your way of thinking is exactly right.

Even if there isn't a flaw, there's no way to know if Ledger will leak their code again, giving hackers the chance to reverse engineer it.  And there's no way to know if a future firmware update will introduce a bug that could give hackers access.

With closed source code, there are too many unknowns.

And after a company lies to their users, there's no way to trust them.

I learned another lesson, the HARD WAY.

But you learned it, which makes you wiser than those who never do.


My Ledger JUST ARRIVED! 👀

The box is very nice, the packaging is also very nice, and I like the color I ordered. It would be a waste if I merely throw this away, and it would be very irresponsible to give it to someone.

I will use it and I will send it merely $1,000 as the maximum amount for shitcoining Runes. If my coins are stolen, the people of this topic will be the first people to know.
