Will give it back to you after I earned some from other faucets.
That's OK... it's not expected nor required. In fact I'd suggest sending it to one of the TestNet faucets or perhaps "paying it forward" to another user that would like to experiment... The more people that benefit from being able to "test" and experiment the better as far as I'm concerned.

Hello @HCP, done with all the process I even add already adding bitcoin testnet. I will send you a PM as you promised for some tBTC it has two bitcoin types segwit and native segwit too. Usually what are you using?

Actually, after complementing the Ledger Nano S to Ledger Live using my laptop, I also install the Ledger Live app on my Android and I used the "Set up an initialized device"after connecting the HW to the app using OTG to make sure that I can still view my coins. Is that okay?
That's the correct method to have the same wallets visible on both phone and computer.I also managed to verify and install the Electrum on my laptop. The things is, I just install the bitcoin application on my ledger and did not bother on creating a bitcoin address (account) using ledger live app because I was able to verify the receiving address that is shown in Electrum using the HW wallet. Does it mean that I can now receive crypto using Electrum without having a Ledger Live bitcoin account?
Yes, you can now send and receive bitcoin using Electrum as an interface. Ledger Live and Electrum use the same default derivation paths, so you should be able to later mirror the same addresses from Electrum to Ledger Live on your computer or phone simply by adding a bitcoin account in Ledger Live.Also, does electum support testnet?
Yes. Run it with the startup option --testnet. Alternatively, since you said in another post you are running Windows, if you install Electrum (as opposed to using the standalone), it will also install "Electrum Testnet" at the same time. 
Hello everyone, I received my hardware wallet yesterday and I just finished initializing the hardware wallet now. So far, there is no issue that I have encountered when I am connecting the Ledger to Ledger Live for my Altcoins (XRP, ETH) and to Electrum for my BTC holdings.
I just want to ask if I did the right thing. Actually, after complementing the Ledger Nano S to Ledger Live using my laptop, I also install the Ledger Live app on my Android and I used the "Set up an initialized device"after connecting the HW to the app using OTG to make sure that I can still view my coins.

Does it mean that I can now receive crypto using Electrum without having a Ledger Live bitcoin account?
Also, does electum support testnet?

Noted mate. Thank you so much for all your help and answered queries. Very sorry If I have too much questions Ive just dont want to have mistakes. Im off now, I think Ive done what is necessary already to know more about using the Nano S ledger. 
by the way there is an option on the setting regarding reset on the ledger. Is that for resetting the installed apps (bitcoin, eth, xrp) to zero or even the 24 phrase generated will be nullified and gonna use it like a new set up again which will start from beginning and will give you again new pass phrase?
If you pick that option device will be reset to factory settings, which means it will be in the same condition you got when you bought it. Then you have the option to do a recovery with seed, or to generate a new seed. If you want to remove an individual application, then simply do it via Ledger Live - and you can also bring it back the same way (your coins stay on Ledger even if you remove app).
For more info visit this link -> https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017582434-Reset-to-factory-settings
Ledger also has the option to check seeds that are not generated on the Nano S (if you use a seed from say Electrum - 12 words), but in case you want to check Ledger generated seed, then only option is to select 24 words as option.
Now I get it. I thought my idea was to shorter the generated phrase from the ledger itself. Its also can be used for other bitcoin wallet like electrum thank you so much mate. Now its crystal clear, by the way there is an option on the setting regarding reset on the ledger. Is that for resetting the installed apps (bitcoin, eth, xrp) to zero or even the 24 phrase generated will be nullified and gonna use it like a new set up again which will start from beginning and will give you again new pass phrase? ~snip~
Ledger also has the option to check seeds that are not generated on the Nano S (if you use a seed from say Electrum - 12 words), but in case you want to check Ledger generated seed, then only option is to select 24 words as option. It may seem a bit confusing at first, but it is important that you have checked/verified all words, and that Ledger has an app with which this can be done. Before that app existed, the only way to perform a check was to reset the device, and then re-enter the seed and check that in both cases the addresses are identical.
If you do decide to try out testnet, hit me up for some tBTC (by PM) 
Hello @HCP, done with all the process I even add already adding bitcoin testnet. I will send you a PM as you promised for some tBTC it has two bitcoin types segwit and native segwit too. Usually what are you using?Ive used only my mobile app using ledger live to do all steps.
Also check the correctness of all words after you generate them, better to be 100% sure than to have problems in the future -> Recovery Check.
Hello mate, done with the recovery check. I was nervous that when I choose the recovery phrase of 12 its not working, did it twice so my confusion, wth is the problem. Then I shifted again the process thru 24 phrase, to my suprise it work and confirm. So there is an option to choose a 12 and 18 phrase from the start as your seed phrase? On my mind I thought, it was a shorten version of the process cause its done manually but I got wrong for two consecutive trial for 12 phrase but when I tried the complete 24 it got accepted. Weird I hope Im right.
Hello guys wanna share my ordered ledger nano S arrived as scheduled even with covid situation here.
I wish I am too. My order got stuck up in our country due to restrictions even though we are on a Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine. I've also made contact to their DHL local support hoping that it will give immediate action to my concern.P.S. I've erased the tracking number
P.S.Today is the deadline of their estimated date
I am glad the shipment arrived in a relatively short time, and that you took advantage of this really nice discount. I hope that the customs costs were not too high and that you will now store your crypto in a much safer way than before. But still keep in mind that even though you use a hardware wallet, seed backup is something you have to take very seriously. Also check the correctness of all words after you generate them, better to be 100% sure than to have problems in the future -> Recovery Check.
Hello guys wanna share my ordered ledger nano S arrived as scheduled even with covid situation here.
So happy I got it now. Thanks to @Lucius because I read the promo here and decided to avail it.

I've only given these a quick skim, but they seem to be giving accurate and sensible advice. Having said that, the full "Hodl Guide" is quite complicated and probably beyond the scope of what you want to set up as a first time user. The "Hodl Guide Light" for using your Ledger device with Electrum is more than enough for the majority of users. There's also a guide on how to do this direct from Ledger themselves: https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005161925-Set-up-and-use-Electrum https://github.com/DriftwoodPalace/guides/blob/master/hodl-guide-light-ms/README.md

Bitcoin Testnet. Activate, experience it, but don't trade and get scammed. - Is this guide a good reference to follow when setting up a testnet? I see that this is only applicable for bitcoin core testnet 
For the Ledger no... you basically just need to go into the Settings in "Ledger Live" and enable "Developer Options"...Click the "cog" in the top right corner:
Click on "Experimental Features":
Then turn on "Developer mode":
Once you've done that, you should be able to see BTC Testnet in the Manager:
Install the App on your device and you'll then be able to create a BTC Testnet account within Ledger Live. From there, it basically works the same as any other Ledger account, so you can get your receive address and then hit up a Testnet faucet to get a small amount of tBTC (or hit me up
)I'm pretty sure it won't get stuck in the DHL center (Germany), because a couple of days ago I had one shipment that passed through Germany very quickly. It all depends on your customs, but in the case of express shipments and services like DHL it should go pretty fast.
Hi youre right, based on tracker its already on Hongkong and being updated now in Custom Philippines, this is where Im sure delayed will probably start. We have a lousy protocol on our custom unlike most countries. Thanks, Im on it already. Haha my hands are itchy already with the device.
So, now Nano S costs €59 with VAT included. So, with 50% discount it will cost €29.5 - it's bargain. Even with delivery fee added, it's very cheap.
@cryptoaddictchie, there may be little delay in delivery.
Early christmas presence. I planned it for this year and a wish come true already. Yeah I anticipated delay already but DHL moves pretty quickly the problem most likely will come from our home turf.@cryptoaddictchie, there may be little delay in delivery.

Hello mate, the advice you gave is really good, I will not deposit fund unless I used to using it first. Dont worry if I decided to try it out, will give you a ping. Thanks bro.Here ya' go! Waiting for another email when it will going to arrive
Another lifted spirit that excited to get in touch with the cheap early promo of Ledger. Congrats bro, you have it too. Lets both learned this together. Nice materials for preparation by the way.

Thank you again, sorry for this inquiry Ive just feeling excited when the product arrived and wanna know some details ahead, so when I try it, at least I do know the stuff to use it properly.
The best piece of advice I can give you, is to "play" with your hardware wallet before you commit funds to it.Get comfortable with generating a wallet, restoring a wallet, setting up a passphrase and/or secondary PIN, installing apps, uninstalling apps, using the seed check app to confirm you have the correct seed mnemonic etc... maybe even enable "developer mode" and install the Bitcoin Testnet app so you can test sending and receiving transactions without fear of losing any "real" money.

@cryptoaddictchie, there may be little delay in delivery. People in lockdown now buying most stuff online instead of going to physical stores, so it's bussy time for logistics companies like DHL - it's like Christmas period. But if you will receive your wallet few days later than supposed, I don't think will be big issue.

.By the way, Is there any alternative to Ledger OTG Kit? Wanted to ask this question badly before checking out. $15 is a lot from me
Well, I use OTG cable from Aliexpress for $0.5, and it works fine. So, you don't have to buy it from Ledger store. Based on the timeframe I think I can received it on the 6th day. I just hope it would not be clogged or stucked on DHL center here in our country or custom warehourse.

So excited to receive it. This will be my first hardware wallet. Looks like, I need to read a lot on how to set it up properly.
In fact, it is very easy because there is a step-by-step tutorial on the official site, and while you wait for your device to arrive, you can study everything in detail and be ready to set up your wallet.
Ledger Getting Started
If your Ledger device is not connected to your phone then the app essentially becomes a watch-only wallet. You can view your accounts and balances, and you can generate receiving addresses, although you will be met with a warning that any addresses generated without your hardware wallet connected can not be verified. You will not be able to make any transactions without connecting your hardware wallet.
Hi thank you for expounding. So without connecting the it directly to the hardwallet the app works like a portfolio tracker with your funds into it. Anyway, I understand clearly. Thank you again, sorry for this inquiry Ive just feeling excited when the product arrived and wanna know some details ahead, so when I try it, at least I do know the stuff to use it properly. Does it work if the micro usb plug is not connected on ledger if you have the app? Or still need to connect in order to do such transaction everytime? Cause they have a Ledger Live mobile app. Or it can be done on the app as long you sync in already the wallet of thr ledger device?

You will not be able to make any transactions without connecting your hardware wallet.If the app was able to make transactions on its own without the hardware wallet connected, then that would mean that your private keys were no longer stored in the hardware wallet and were instead stored in the mobile app, making the mobile app no better than any other mobile wallet. The whole point of the hardware wallet is the private keys never leave it, so the coins accessed by those keys cannot be moved unless the hardware wallet is connected.
For delivery, it depends on which deliverer is in question (DHL is very fast), but 3-5 days is perhaps a slightly over-optimistic estimate for your country - it takes 4 days for me in EU last year. But be sure that the shipment will arrive, and when you get the tracking number you will be able to track it.

Most OTG "cables" (adapters) that I've found for sale end in a standard USB-A Socket (female) like a regular USB port... that's one "advantage" of the Ledger ones I guess, is that they have the micro-USB plug on the end that connects directly to the Ledger device.

Yes, that will work fine. By the way, Is there any alternative to Ledger OTG Kit? Wanted to ask this question badly before checking out. $15 is a lot from me
Yes, I got OTG cables from AliExpress... they were around US$1 (or less) including free international shipping (at least to my location). I had a MicroUSB to USB Female for my old phone... and now I have a USB-C to USB Female for my current phone:
The beauty of these is that they're fairly compact, and work by simply plugging in the "normal" data cable you use with the Ledger. I've tested them with the Trezor ONE that I have as well. Both work fine.
It can be USB Type-C cable, USB Type-A cable or Micro-USB cable, and on other end it is always Micro-USB (Nano S).

This Ledger Kit actually covers all the possibilities that can arise from the fact that smartphones have different ports, but you can buy just one OTG cable which will suit to your smartphone. It can be USB Type-C cable, USB Type-A cable or Micro-USB cable, and on other end it is always Micro-USB (Nano S).
Do you think this is okay?
I have a USB Type-C female port in my mobile phone and I think this will work in my Ledger once it arrives.
Ordering now

Ops, I got it but I dont know why it was on the spam mail. Anyway at least it did confirm my order.
I hope it did arrived as mentioned it will for 3 to 5 business days.

You're welcome guys. I hope that the purchase will be successful and that the delivery will be within a reasonable time so that you can use your devices as soon as possible.
Hello mate done with the purchased. I am wondering cause no email yet to me or acknowledgement that I already bought it. I hope it did arrived as mentioned it will for 3 to 5 business days.
The last time I check is I think more or less PHP 1,000.
Thanks Maus0728, I do hope it will be less than that. Cause the shipping fee already cause me Php 1,000, good thing the 50 off helps a lot. You're welcome guys. I hope that the purchase will be successful and that the delivery will be within a reasonable time so that you can use your devices as soon as possible.

does anyone know, is it possible to buy Ledger and to send it as a gift, where the value does not have to be specified or indicated some symbolic amount?
it matters to me because of the complicated duty in my country.

When I bought the Nano X last year, no price was indicated on the package, only that contents of package is USB key. Maybe it's because the shipment goes within the EU, so there is no need for customs. For more information, it is best to contact Ledger directly, although you should be aware that this offer is only valid for one week, and the answer may not arrive within that period.
Hello @Lucius thanks for the information, I just know this because of this post of you. Anyway its gonna be available until May 17th so I can do some order before it ends. So glad that 50% off promo is on.
LOL! Thank you very much @Lucius. This is the time I am waiting for.
Thanks for the heads up! Been planning this for a very long time.

I don't think this is possible from the official store. If I recall correctly, they simply ship it with the documented values. Maybe you could try and contact them and ask if they can help you out?it matters to me because of the complicated duty in my country.
Seems a bit harsh that you'll incur duties on something that only cost around US$40+shipping
$40+shipping is more than $50, which is limit without duty. Duties can cost me +$50 extra. fucking government.
For example, when I buy Trezor, I paid for it $79 + shipping. In the end, they cost me around $145. It's double almost. It is not a big money, but I have a feeling I have been robbed.
Any idea how much cost for custom duties for this if gonna shipped to Philippines?
Not sure how much it actually cost but it varies from each country. They have suggested that it's best to contact local customs agency.2/ Customs fees
Orders ship from our warehouse in Vierzon, France. In case of delivery outside the European Union, additional taxes may apply.
Amounts of customs fees vary from country to country. For more details, please contact your local customs service!

For all those who were waiting for the right opportunity to buy the Ledger Nano S, I think this discount is a real hit not only because of the 50% off, but also because of the current BTC price (if you use it as a payment option). Is there a better way to celebrate halving than to get a hardware wallet
Hello @Lucius thanks for the information, I just know this because of this post of you. Anyway its gonna be available until May 17th so I can do some order before it ends. So glad that 50% off promo is on.I like it though if Nano X would be on this product sale too but do you think guys its not big deal right? Nano S still work like good as the brand new model except with thr bluetooth.

I have received this email and Ledger is doing it right. Using the right keywords at affordable prices exactly just during the halving trend.
Don't forget the code: WEARETHEBULLRUN
That's the promo code that they emailed and it's visible to the website, not a referral code of mine.
