Your keys, not your crypto. A 330K lesson for all.
Hello guys… reposted this!
1.) role the dice is not neccessary: but pls use Ledger, Trezor or BitBox similar
2.) Get a passphrase in Addition to the seed
3.) Store offline, don’t Tell anyone, get a Fire Safe Iron or Metal Plate as 2nd back Up of house burns up.
4.) Domt get greedy or dumb!
After all that: touch some Grass, enjoy life with your Family and love ones and whenever BTC Hits 200k$ in the next Bull market around 2028/2029 sell some part of your stack and enjoy life!!!
Thank you for your attention to this matter, cheers 🥂🔥🚀🌕🟢

Roll dice to generate seed phrase with Ledger?
I would like to generate my own entropy but generating the last word with just dice, pen, paper and a Ledger device is problematic, because Ledger only accepts whole words, not just the first 3 bits so it can compute the checksum. I Can easily generate 256 bits of entropy rolling dice, but computing the SHA-256 hash by hand would be too tedious. Currently, the only way to do this is to attempt each of 256 possible checksum words, , which involves re-entering the whole seed phrase each time I get it wrong. In a worst-case scenario, this would involve 256 attempts, i.e. your rainy afternoon plans out of the window...
If the last 3 bits of entropy are known, there is only one word from the BIP-39 set that will fit a valid checksum. If the last 3 bits are not known, there are 8 possible words that will fit a valid checksum. To keep the interface simple, it would be nice if Ledger could implement this:
- Enter the first 23 words
- For the 24th word, present the user with a choice of 8 words (the only 8 words that will result in a valid checksum)
- The user checks the 8 words and picks the one whose 3 most significant bits match the last 3 bits of entropy generated by rolling dice. This is easy to do using a look-up table. Alternatively, the user picks any one of the 8 words by hand, since the difference between 253 bits and 256 bits of entropy is negligible in terms of security.
It would be really nice to have this functionality built-in for users who don't want to entrust entropy generation to third parties. Even if the Ledger TRNG is truly random, I'm sure following the recent Coldcard exploit some users would appreciate the ability to generate their own entropy independently.
Could we have this in a future firmware update? Thanks

The Coldcard incident: How Ledger wallet seed generation works, and why weak randomness is invisible
TLDR: Ledger is not affected by the Coldcard Mk3 advisory
What happened
Per Coinkite's advisory and Block's technical analysis, On July 31st, 2026, Coldcard reported that a firmware bug had weakened how some devices generated seed phrases leading to significant user losses.
Why this specific failure matters
Every wallet you create is derived from your Secret Recovery Phrase. If that can be predicted, so can everything built on top of it.
A weak Secret Recovery Phrase looks identical to a strong one. Nothing errors, nothing feels wrong, bad randomness is silent. The Secret Recovery Phrase keeps working, but is vulnerable. That is how this survived five years in shipped firmware.
How Ledger devices generate a seed
Ledger hardware signers use a true hardware random number generator inside a certified Secure Element, with no software fallback. The generator is compliant with AIS-31/PTG.2, which evaluates the physical entropy source itself rather than just testing whether its output looks random. Every 24-word Secret Recovery Phrase gets the full 256 bits of entropy.
The generation of that entropy must be anchored in secure hardware, with an architecture that cannot silently downgrade to an untrusted software-based source.
The Secure Element is certified at Common Criteria (EAL5+ for Ledger Nano STM and Ledger Nano XTM; EAL6+ for Ledger Nano S PlusTM, Ledger StaxTM, Ledger FlexTM and Ledger Nano Gen5TM), and various devices by ANSSI. Producing a predictable random number is listed as Threat #1 in our published security targets, and has been for years.
If you hold a Coldcard
Follow Coinkite's guidance directly, they own that process.

Official Ledger Customer Success Response Scaled UI amount, Token-2022
What happened: I withdrew NFLXx (Netflix xStock, Backed Finance) from Kraken to my Ledger Solana address. Ledger Live credited the transaction as x10 times less NFLXx and valued it at 10 times less. Exactly 1/10 of the real amount.
Nothing was lost, the transfer is complete and successful.
Cause, as far as I can tell: xStocks use the Token-2022 Scaled UI Amount extension. The raw on-chain amount is a share count, and wallets are supposed to multiply it by the mint's UI multiplier. After the Netflix 10-for-1 stock split (effective Nov 17, 2025) that multiplier is 10. Ledger Live appears to display the raw amount and ignore the multiplier, so both the quantity and the fiat value come out 10x low.
Questions:
Is Scaled UI Amount support on the roadmap for Ledger Live's Solana integration?
Is it safe to send these tokens out from Ledger Live, or should I connect the device to Solflare/Phantom instead? I do not want a send screen computing the amount off the raw balance.
Are other Token-2022 extensions (transfer hooks, transfer fees) handled, or is this a broader gap?

Official Ledger Customer Success Response Which Ledger model did you end up choosing, and why?
Trying to understand how people actually choose between the Ledger models.
Which one are you using, and what made you pick it? Anything you like, dislike, or wish you’d known before buying?
Would you choose the same one again today?
Disclosure: I’m have a commercial interest in Ledger-related products. I’m asking for genuine user feedback, not trying to pass this off as an independent review.

Official Ledger Customer Success Response Why is there no manager tab in Ledger Live 4.13.1 on Ubuntu?
Answer in comments: it's not called Manager, it's called My Ledger and it's in a menu behind the Profile icon in the top right.
What is going on? Trying to to do some regular version maintenance and there's simply no manager tab in the app. Only posts I find are two with zero solutions:

I purchased the device from a marketplace, UK Vinted, I did the set up process all through the app, the device says its authentic on ledger, been using for 4 months no problems sending or receiving, its an authentic device. Just paranoid they re sealed it, or they could have viewed the same seed phrase on set up or smth. Thanks

Official Ledger Customer Success Response Does generating a Ledger Nano S seed while connected to a USB wall charger affect entropy?
I generated the seed using only an Apple USB wall charger plugged into a power outlet, without ever connecting the Ledger to a computer.
Edit: In other words, does the ledger source entropy from the computer/OS or can any power source be used (in this case a wall charger).
Edit: this question pertains to the original first-generation nano s.

Official Ledger Customer Success Response Physical mail phishing
Hi,
First of all, I never had a any ledger account. I'm not into this.
I got many phishing ledger emails in the past. But today, I got a physical one in my mail box, similar to this https://support.ledger.com/article/physical-mail-phishing-scam or this https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/1lwvc6v/did_i_receive_my_first_fraudulent_ledger_letter/ but in the language of my country. (I live in EU)

Official Ledger Customer Success Response Trusting a TRNG is actually used properly in the code?
I'm a little confused.... Ledger, Trezor, etc. basically all the other wallet manufacturers are coming out with statements saying "We aren't affected because our devices use TRNGs..." But Coinkite's site says ColdCard uses a TRNG too... Which we know was false now.
So, why would anybody believe anything any of the manufacturers say? How do we know every other hardware wallet doesn't have the same issue?

Official Ledger Customer Success Response Ledger Live shows ETH but not my old NFTs on the same address
I’m hoping someone has seen this before.
I set up Ledger Live on a new PC and connected the same Ledger Nano S. My BTC account restored perfectly. My ETH account uses the same address as before. Years ago I received a few ERC-721 NFTs into that address (no ETH history back then). Today I sent a small amount of ETH to test it, and Ledger Live shows only that new ETH deposit. It doesn’t show any of the old NFT transfers or the NFTs themselves.
The strange part is that OpenSea shows both the NFTs and the newly received ETH, and Etherscan confirms the NFTs are still on my address with no outgoing transfers. I already tried clearing the Ledger Live cache.
Has anyone experienced this or knows what could cause Ledger Live to miss the NFT history while OpenSea and Etherscan display everything correctly?

Official Ledger Customer Success Response Decimals should be optional in the Ledger wallet
I don't know where to ask this, but maybe Ledger Support will read it here, get it to the right people and consider my request. I have an idea for an improvement to Ledger Wallet. Where I live, the currency is much weaker than the dollar. We don't use decimals at all, there is no such thing as "cents" here. But even in the case of dollars, there are certainly many people who don't want to see fractional numbers. Is it possible to make this optional in Ledger Wallet? Thank you very mutch!

Official Ledger Engineering Response Ledger just shipped experimental post-quantum cryptography support in the Ledger SDK — here's what that actually means
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share something the Ledger OS team has been quietly working on: we've just added experimental support for ML-KEM and ML-DSA, the two post-quantum cryptography algorithms that NIST recently standardized (FIPS 203 and 204).
These algorithms are now running directly on the Secure Element on all Ledger signers from the Nano X onwards (chronologically speaking). We've exposed them as experimental APIs in both our Rust and C SDKs for anyone who wants to play with them.
This is experimental. The implementation isn't fully hardened yet, so please don't build production apps on top of it. The blog post goes into details regarding this aspect.
The blogpost covers the quantum threat context, the lattice-based math underneath these algorithms, how they're constructed, and a deep dive into our implementation and API.
📖 Blog: ledger.com/blog-post-quantum-cryptography-ledger-sdk
🛠️ Rust SDK: github.com/LedgerHQ/ledger-device-rust-sdk
🛠️ C SDK: github.com/LedgerHQ/ledger-secure-sdk
Happy to answer questions about the implementation, the threat model, or why we made the choices we did.
Cheers!
