A video which covers some of features of your Ledger Nano that you may not use very often, but that are still good to be familiar with if you want to do things like verify your seed phrase backup. (using the recovery check app) Know what the legit process for restoring a seed phrase looks like (to help you avoid scams) and also for how to safely use a BIP39 passphrase that is assigned to a PIN.
---------------------
If you are new to Crypto, my suggestion is that you start with buying ~$150 worth of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin @ Coinbase and get familiar with storing it, moving it around, etc.
For your first purcahse, just stick with CoinBase: www.coinbase.com/join/5691c9d...
For Trading, just start with Binance: www.binance.com/?ref=18111926
By sticking with large, reputable exchanges for your first purchase (Coinbase) and first trade (Binance) you can avoid getting scammed right at the start by purchasing a non-existing coin off a scammy exchange. (You would be surprised how many people fall into this trap)
Don't have a hardware wallet?
Be safe and buy them direct from the manufacturer. (Not just through some random on eBay, Amazon, etc)
Get a Ledger: shop.ledger.com/?r=5243ecbb84...
(If you are just starting out, I would just recommend a Ledger Nano S)

@poorchristopher15 3 месяца назад

FYI, I wiped out my ledger and restored it without the recovery check just fine. When you set up your device for the first time, You still have to verify each seed word that is generated, So I don't see why the recovery check is so important.

@CryptoGuide 3 месяца назад

Two reasons. Firstly, Ledger only added that check to the initial workflow in the last couple of years, so many people with older devices set it up without any check at all... Secondly, folk often do things like stamp their seed to steel, or make copies... You need to run recovery check for every copy you make, as folk often introduce errors when making copies...

Have watched several of your Ledger videos. You really know your material well. Quick question: if I have a pin and (upper/lowercase) passphrase on my Trezor model T to access MyEtherWallet, can I duplicate that on my Ledger Nano X and access the same ERC20 assets? If so, when installing the Nano X should I use the attach to PIN passphrase or the Temporary passphrase, or does it matter?

Yep, you can just attach the passphrase to a secondary pin.

In regards to the "pin-code passphrase (not normal pin-code)", so let's say I am recovering my seed phrase + passphrase do we need to always use that specific pin-code that we originally set up with in order to access any funds tied to that passphrase account/25th word, or can we assign a different pin-code to the passphrase/25th word upon new recovery?

@CryptoGuide Год назад

You can assign the BIP39 passphrase to any pin you like. You can do change the secondary PIN and passphrase associated with it at any time. (Though this doesn't automatically move any funds that are already associated with a given seed+passphrase)

@user-hd5hq2qh6l 3 года назад

If I have 24 words. Should I put them in vertically or horizontally?

@CryptoGuide 3 года назад

Normally the sheets you write them in will also have numbers to remove the kind of ambiguity. If you are unsure, you will just have to try entering it both ways, it's likely that only one will work. (And either way,only one will have your funds)

@user-qz6bb5bz6j 3 года назад

Congratulations for your awesome content. I just have one question : if a hardware reset is needed, once I have entered my 24 words recovery passphrase, how do I get access to the hidden wallet with the 25th word ? Do I have to go to the "attach to a pin process" again and enter the same pin and 25th word as when setting it up the first time ? Sorry for the stupid question. Thank you very much.

@CryptoGuide 3 года назад

Thanks. :) If you reset and recover, you will need up set up the passphrase, but it doesn't need to be assigned to the same PIN as before. As long as the seed and passphrase are correct, setting the PIN to something else doesn't matter. (I cover this in a video that looks at seed phrase, passphrase, pin and password)

Hi man love your channel and the way you deal people. I wondered if you could help. I have tried to read other comments to get my head around it but have struggled! I have a nano x I’ve only ever put crypto on it. Never taken it off. I have tried to take funds off it today for the first time and I get the classic message ‘something wrong with recovery or pass phrase. So I reset my ledger, reinstalled and connected the apps and recovery phrase, to still get the same error code when I try to transact. I have never used a pass phrase before.. do I need to have one in order to transact? I can’t think of any other reason why I can’t remove my crypto. So sorry to pester you dude but I’m really struggling for help. All the best either way ✌🏻

@CryptoGuide Год назад

Thanks. :) Basically the error means what it says, so either the seed+passphrase that you have running on the Nano doesn't match the seed+passphrase that was active on there when you added the account to Ledger Live. Passphrase is an advanced feature that you need to manually enable with Ledger devices, so it's unlikely that you accidentally enabled it. Have you ever had other Ledger devices or reset the device and reinitialized with a new seed? (Sometimes people will reset the device and assume that it will just give them the same seed back, when actually you will get a new seed every time)

@rambo6860 2 года назад

can i change de 24 recovery words if i reset the ledger or it will always be the same recovery words on that device?

@CryptoGuide 2 года назад

The seed is not tied to the device at all. You can wipe it and create a new wallet with a new 24 words at any time. (You will need to manually move your funds from the old to new) You can also restore the seed in to any other hardware of software wallet.

Just get the pin wrong three times and it will wipe it. Just be clear that any funds already on addresses associated with the device won't automatically move, so you will need to move them off first.

@whereistomm 3 года назад

I am trying to have a simple recovery process that i can use on any hardware wallet using BIP39 i want a recovery process that looks like this: 1) input the 24 words seeds 2) input an alphanumeric password 1 + 2 --> into a KDF = private key = wallet restored. Which hardware wallet allow for this? In this tutorial there is some confusing ledger proprietary terminology. Why would i want a temporary passphrase or pin? Seems just a confusing and risk prone convenience. attaching a pin to an account also is a confusing concept. Maybe i am just confused but can you clarify? thanks

@CryptoGuide 3 года назад

Every BIP39 wallet worth having supports the kind of key derivation you are referring to. (Ledger, Trezor, Keepkey, Coldcard, Cobo Vault, Bitbox02, etc) BIP39 passphrase support is part of the BIP39 spec in the same way that the seed phrase is. It isn't vendor specific beyond any specific limitations that any single vendor might have. (I talk about this more in my video about "seed, passphrase, pin and password") In the context of a Ledger, you might want to assign a passphrase to a PIN for the sake of convenience and error resistance basically... Temporary can be used if you want a slightly increased level of security and it is also useful for verifying the passphrase attached to a PIN.

@CryptoGuide 3 года назад

If you have your seed phrase then you can simply reset the device and reinitialize it. If you are really worried then it could be worth getting a second Ledger Nano S to restore the seed to before you wipe the first one.

@georgehill-baker3299 Год назад

If I’ve wiped my device and then got back in using my recovery phrase as practice, is my recovery phrase still valid when it comes to recovering my wallet a second time? Or is a new one produced? Cheers

@CryptoGuide Год назад

Your recovery phrase IS your wallet, so you will use that same phrase every time to set up a hardware device. This is true even if you get a different Ledger or hardware device from another vendor.

@chrisyevil Год назад

Do you get a new seeds phrases after resetting it or the same old ones?

@CryptoGuide Год назад

You get a totally new seed every time you wipe it and there is no way to have the seed displayed a second time after you initially set it up. (This is why it's critically important that you keep your seed backup safe and secure)

@A_90210 2 года назад

Your device shouldn't have come pre-initialised and should generate a new seed when you first set it up. You just get the pin wrong three times wipe it and then initialise it like a new device.

Once a passphrase is attached to a secondary PIN, you don't need to enter the full passphrase anymore. In terms of backups, you are right in that you need Seed+Passphrase, but the PIN doesn't matter.

(of course, protection from $5 wrench attack isn't the only reason to use a decoy & passphrase, but still).

Great video. Just a couple of questions: 1. If I installed the eth app after setting up the device and then set up the 25th word, should I uninstall and reinstall the apps so they're associated with the 25th word now or will I just install a second eth app and now have two sets of apps installed, one associated with the 24 words and one associated with the 25 words. Or is it one app with two accounts? 2. Will other wallets allow me to enter in my 24 words plus the 25th word to access the account, or are they limited to 24 words? 3. When setting up a second ledger, do I set it up with the 24 words then add the 25th word that matches the 25th word on my first ledger and that will give me access to the same funds? Thank you

@CryptoGuide 2 года назад

1. You don't need to reinstall any apps on the ledger, these will use whatever keys are active in your Ledger at any given time. 2. With Ledger, any wallet that can work without a passphrase will work the same with one. (Like above, the ledger will just represent whatever accounts are active at the time) The main catch with 1 and 2 above is that for wallets like Metamask, Ledger Live, etc, where you "pair" the device, basically the pairing will represent which ever account was active at the time of pairing. (So if you add a passphrase, you will need to add the new accounts for that, I explain this in my video on juggling multiple ledger devices) 3. For a second device, you would restore the seed as per normal and then enable passphrase on the second device as well.

So are you saying that one of the words on your list isn't part of the BIP39 word list? (github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt ) If that is the case, it is easy to recover from this. (Sometimes by looking at the list, other times by using tools like BTCRecover)

I am having trouble sending BTC from my nano x. The support I talked to via Twitter said I need to synchronize my wallet to the interface. Doing this manually requires me to enter my seed phrase.

This is a 100% scam and once you give your seed away, they will steal everything... You never need to enter your seed anywhere other than on your physical Ledger Nano device. (No website, software, app or anything)

Ledger Live will not automatically reflect the changes if you change your Ledger Nano to a new seed.

I am doing a backup test atm on a new nano x and have been able to verify that the main seedphase backup worked. However, I am not understanding how to access the account connected to the original passphrase I set up. Using the nano x it seem to only prompt a one-word passphase and I wasnt sure about the connecting to the pin part. Is that the original pin I setup on the model T or some new pin? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also happy to book a consultation with you if you offer them?

The Nano devices are actually much easier to use if you assign passphrase to PIN. The Trezor approach is straight-up dangerous as it is very error prone. Just follow the procedure I suggest in this video to verify that you have correctly added the passphrase in the Ledger. If you confirm everything in the Ledger side then try with the same passphrase on the Trezor with Trezor suite and the accounts will be the same.

I tried to recover that wallet in ANOTHER wallet from ANOTHER wallet provider (like metamask for example). But when I finish typing in my 24 seed words, The metamask does not show my old account. I know if I recover my wallet to another ledger wallet, I just have to put in the 25th (passphrase), and it will show my old account again. But in this case, metamask has nothing like a passphrase, and I can't access my account without typing in my 25th seed word somewhere. So what if someday my ledger broke down and I can't recover my account in any other wallet from other wallet provider without a "passphrase feature"? Hope you can give me a solution or an explanation for this. Thank you so much!

So the error is that it's an invalid phrase? (There is nothing to match to if you are importing to a totally clean install of Metamask)

@drewterry8033 Год назад

I have followed everything you have said in your video. The issues I am having is when I go to do a transaction. It will say that it failed. I am catching on some but would like some help understanding why it failed. Thank you for your help!

@CryptoGuide Год назад

Where are you seeing this message? Is it in the wallet software or are the failed transactions also visible in block explorers?

@drewterry8033 Год назад

@@CryptoGuide I am seeing it in my uphold account after I do the transaction. I check the account to see if it has done the exchange. It will say failed transaction.

@CryptoGuide Год назад

If it's on your uphold account then this probably doesn't have anything to do with your Ledger, you will need to contact uphold support.

good day sir pls. help me reagrding my lose seed phraes due to accidentally reset my pc

@CryptoGuide 2 года назад

If you have lost your entire seed phrase and wiped your hardware wallet then this is unrecoverable. If you are a software wallet user your only hope is the data recovery route on your PC.

Can I Login on Ledger Nano X with Ledger Nano S phrases ? or Other ledger's upcoming Wallets ?

@CryptoGuide 2 года назад

Yep, will "just work" and you will end up with two devices that control the same set of accounts.

Help me. Keepkey. No found My wallet eth. Derivación path ???

@CryptoGuide 3 года назад

You don't need to spam across multiple videos... So do you still have the Keepkey? The new firmware prompts for a BIP39 passphraseby default, have you tried just leaving that blank?
