Ledger Nano S -- What You Should Know
If you haven't heard of the Ledger Nano S by now, where have you been?
Ledger Nano S is the most advanced cryptocurrency hardware wallet. In partnership with Intel, Ledger has created perhaps the most secure, and easy to use, hardware wallets on the market.
Ledger boasts support for the most cryptocurrencies as well. You can check out the full list by visiting https://www.ledgerwallet.com/cryptocurrencies.
When you first receive your Ledger Nano S you will take it out of the box and read the instructions. You will be guided in the setup of creating your 24 word recovery seed. Take the time to carefully write these words down for safe keeping and ensure that no one ever sees them (these 24 words give the holder full access to your funds even without your Ledger device).
After setting up the wallet and testing your backup, swing by the https://www.ledgerwallet.com website and download the Ledger Manager application. Through the Ledger Manager, you will be able to add wallet apps for every supported cryptocurrency.
I personally recommend purchasing 2-3 of the devices so that you will always have a backup available when needed.
MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP THE RECOVERY PHRASE!!!
