and posting what offers you have had in dm are irrelevant. Impossible to verify and makes people who are actually interested in buying your coin think twice about giving you an offer.
Thanks for advice! I'll wait for MJ comment and try to figure out if the offers in DM are real or scam attempts.
Looks like mj is winning the public auction at 1 BTC so far, when does this end? I'm more of a lurking sniper lol
MJ also made a private offer of 1.05 BTC I'll wait for few more days with the offers.
I did?
Someone with your name contacted me in Telegram.
https://t.me/MlNERJONES: " Hello , i am just updating you about your WTS/Auction thread at forum. My offer stands at 1.05BTC ,if you dont get any other bids. Also if you do ,i am glad to escrow it for you Sincerely,MJ "
If it weren't for the secure element present in the Ledger, I would tell you to get in touch with hardware hacker Joe Grand. He has some experience in that field, but it was with a Trezor with outdated firmware.
His website that deals with hacking hardware and software wallets is https://www.offspec.io/. The way I see it is that you have nothing to lose that isn't already lost (meaning the crypto on the device whose PIN you don't know and you don't have the seed either).
Yes. I contacted them and got some hope
Their answer was: Currently, there is no attack for the Ledger but were working on it.

Re: Access to Ledger Nano S (2018 version) without PIN?
In one of the many options we reviewed, we saw a potential candidate for a Secure Element to be used in our product and we went deeper into our research. As this was a Common Criteria certified chip, we did not expect what we found. Over a few weeks, we uncovered several different critical flaws requiring no special hardware leading to the extraction of the secrets from the chip. We quickly realized these were the attacks nobody tested against.
I don't know whether it's the same chip as Nano S is using, but maybe you get to use some of Trezor's knowledge on the matter. Unlike Ledger, who are bound to not divulge anything about the secure chip they use, Trezor may be able to help. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, still, it can be an idea...
Wow, that's an interesting finding! I will contact them and see if they can help
Reply from SatoshiLabs: Hacking other companies' HW wallets is not our company's focus. We are also not able to provide you with any contacts for any subjects that deal with this because we simply don't have them.
Completely understandable.

Re: Access to Ledger Nano S (2018 version) without PIN?
Does it have something to do with the exchange which owner suddenly died but later it was rumored that he did not? A lawsuit was filed against him for scamming and then disappearing. I can not remember the story correctly but there was Canadian (maybe) exchange few years ago that was gone by telling this story.
No, that's another story. The owner actually really died in Spain by suicide and the documents are in German court.

Re: Access to Ledger Nano S (2018 version) without PIN and seed words?
The situation is complex. In short: the owner was running a badly structured business and died. The business partners are trying to recover their funds from the wallet. There is nothing criminal.
I understand this, but if he died he probably left some will and documents containing seed words and PIN, maybe even passphrase(s).
The documents (and maybe the seed words) are stuck in court. The crypto business the owner was running was formalized loosely on a blockchain and the court does not understand nor accept that. The business partners have spent years without success in that front.
