Topic: Ledger's newest 20-25% Discount (Read 636 times)

I would have no problem paying a higher price for something more solid even if the price is multiplied by 3 or 4, depending on what is added of course. All other components are of good quality, weld seams included but the points I mentioned suck. Ledger live, I'm still using the December version, I never managed to find a solution to their bug and I gave up

I didn't know this version of Trezor but I think the $600 price is too much. For such a price, you can get something done with gold plating lol.

I wouldn't mind Ledger making one such a durable and more resilient device, maybe something like Trezor One Metallic, but you have to be aware that such a device would have a fairly high price - in case of Trezor 600+ EUR (but it is also limited edition).

Since I own both models (S&X), I can tell you that the X looks much better made, the metal part is a little thicker and the device itself is much firmer and more compact when you take it in hand. However, to the best of my knowledge, hardware wallet body parts are manufactured in China and assembled in France. Some users are right to complain about quality, and I have identified some small deficiencies with a thorough review, but luckily it's not anything that affects security, which is most important to me. That link is posted 10 months ago, so I believe that improvements have been made in terms of quality. As for Ledger Live, I personally have no problem using the S or X model on Windows 10

Ledger Nano X Build Quality Issues

If a day you try to disassemble it to see how it's built inside you will see how easy it is to open it, even a 5-year-old child can do it with a screwdriver. Even removing the battery of your smartphone can be harder.

The circuit board doesn't even have a treatment against humidity. It may seem a stupid thing but actually it's not. That should be the basis.

It's really the 2 weak points of these devices. The microcontrollers, connectors, etc are fine otherwise. And since you talk about dropping accidentally your wallet on the floor... It happened to me, now the device is like if I own it for 15 years.

If someone is still looking for a discount... a user posted in another thread the 20% off promocode they got on their newsletter: WELCOMEAPRIL

Later today they announced partnership with Crypto.com, where you can purchase Ledger wallet using Crypto.com coin and get 10% cashback. But I'm not really sure that's same thing as they advertised in previous tweet. I expected for something bigger than this. Maybe adding some important cryptocurrencies, instead of useless tokens or partnership with big exchange like Binance.

I would love this. I already posted about it 1 or 2 years ago, rugged waterproof version of Ledger would be very needed thing. Current devices looks very vulnerable and easy to break. I always afraid thst I may accidentally drop my wallet on the floor and break it.

I saw that tweet, and was pondering what it could be.  If I'm to venture a guess I'd say they are planning to integrating some type of exchange capability into Ledger Live.  A P2P type of exchange would be cool, but I could see them partnering with an established exchange also.  Either way, that would be a pretty cool feature.

No, it's a bitcoins generator. you deposit x BTC and receive x BTC automatically

Just joking of course...


It wouldn't surprise me to see a partnership with a company or to add Atomic swap.
Personally I'd rather have preferred to see them build a stronger device (or a new version of S & X) than something made of shitty plastic and a poor quality circuit board. And fixing the buggy Ledger Live

I didn't want to open a new thread just for this.
Ledger seems to be working on a new feature. They are keeping it secret for now but they gave a hint: crypto integration

https://twitter.com/Ledger/status/1247970010632511488
Any ideas? It's not the crypto.com partnership, is it?

There are definitely only a few valid words left. I started the script at the start of "L" (for LeGaulois ), and let it run through all L, M, N, O, P, Q and R words for a total of 595 entries. The only valid code it found was "motor" for 20% off.

I wouldn't worry about missing this promotion, though. They have some sort of sale on every other month it seems.

Damn, why I didn't follow the topic:/


The codes are invalid now. Can you help me to get another working code? I want to buy 2 or 3 new devices and I won't refuse a discount. xD
I'm a bit lazy to make something with Imacro and more to look manually.

DireWolfM14, you may need to look at the user's post history so some things will become clear. I'm not hard to anyone if I tell the truth, and I don't think I wrote any lies when it comes to the user in question.

Of course, it is better to ask than to live in ignorance or to make a cardinal mistake, but one must also adopt shared knowledge, and not act in a way that he forgets all that he has previously learned. I am not competent to say what is in his head, but if he does not begin to understand the things that have been explained to him for years, it is only a matter of time before he will make that one fatal mistake.

I wouldn't be so hard on the guy.  He's obviously confused about some things, and asking questions is better than making assumptions.  There's no such thing as a stupid question when one's wealth is at risk.

I would rather see a dozen people asking "stupid" questions than one person making a mistake that costs him money.

Ledger's most recent tweet mentioned there are 300 words still available. They even gave out one word for free. 
https://twitter.com/Ledger/status/1242088620468641794

If the suggested words by o_e_l_e_o don't work, try to follow their twitter, maybe you get lucky and you are there at the time they post a new word or a bunch of them.

I think that jerry0 in fact just thinking aloud, and I think the next week until the action runs, he won't actually make the order. If by any chance he does, and if he buys an X model, there is no need to doubt a whole new dimension of confusion that will overwhelm him. Personally in my almost 5 years on the forum, I did not see such a paranoid and confused person who shows up every couple of months with the same questions...

I made a quick and dirty script to auto-try a bunch of words to find one for you. The word silent will give you a 25% discount. Settle, seven, shell, shield, and shift are all still valid for a 20% discount.

Let me know if they have already been used by the time you go to order, and I'll search for another one.

Unless you are planning to live your entire life wearing gloves, and changing them every time you touch something, then this is pointless. Just don't touch your face and wash your hands thoroughly.

Okay well that definitely sucks then that you have to keep trying all the words.  People must be taking an hour at least to get the code in now.

3 days ago, Ledger tweeted that there were roughly 800 words left. They will probably tweet again when all of the words will have been already used.


Yes, you won't know unless you try all of the words.

Okay so when i order the device, open the package with gloves.  I still have to do this with the box as well?  But the moment i open the box... obviously remove the gloves when i touch the nano ledger s right?


So basically even if you touch something, as long as you don't touch your face, you are fine?


One other thing.  I tried to order it on the ledger site and tried a bunch of discount codes.  I went to the link that shows all the word list and randomly tried about thirty words and all say not valid.  Someone said over half the word list has been used so more than one thousand has been sold... is that correct?  And if so, how do you know this?  Obviously i want to get the discount as well... but how do i know if there are still codes left?  Do i basically look at that word list and copy and paste it into discount code until i make a match?

Ledger's website has an update page here: https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012650219-COVID-19-zip-codes-affected-by-the-Coronavirus-situation.
It states that some countries and regions are under quarantine and can't be shipped to, but it makes no mention of prolonged shipping times to other areas.

This. Everything that you buy, from hardware wallets to food and toilet paper, will have been touched by countless other people before it reaches you. It is completely unrealistic to expect people to handle everything with gloves and disinfect everything before using it. You are far less likely to catch coronavirus from the packaging of a Ledger than you are by going to your local supermarket and doing your normal shopping. Just wash your hands after you've unwrapped it and don't touch your face.

Anything can be contaminated at this time. When you leave your building to go to work and you grab the door handle, it can in theory have been touched by an infected subject just 5 minutes before you. Same with the Ledger, or the packaging, etc, etc.

Just follow the standard precautions and don't lick the door handle or the device   

There is always a risk, it does not necessarily mean that the shipment will come infected from the EU, it can be infected by anyone in the delivery chain so it is best to to pick it up in gloves, throw away the envelope and disinfect the Ledger packaging.


I assume the delivery time would be about 7 days under normal circumstances, but due to the current situation it is likely more than that. There is an alternative to ordering the device from authorized resellers in the USA, which certainly shortens the delivery time.

Has anyone bought this recently shipped to the US?  I will most likely do so when I get back to the US since my nano ledger s display is extremely dim.  You can barely read the screen display because its so dim.


But we should be concerned about the virus?  I never thought about this.  But you mean the outside of the packaging or the ledger itself?


Anyone know how long it takes to receive in the US now?

No, I think up to 9 days based on this link : Persistence of coronaviruses on inanimate surfaces and their inactivation with biocidal agents

Of course, the survival time of a virus depends on factors such as temperature and humidity (check Table 1 on link), and it is therefore possible to get infectious package, because for us who live in EU, delivery time is usually 3-5 days.

Today I got email that there is less than50% of discount codes left. It means Ledger sold over 1000 devices with promo codes just in few days. I don't think it's bad numbers considering current situation in the world and crypto markets.
There is msny different researches which tell different numbers and we can't know which one is right. I saw article which says that virus can survive up to 3 days on plastic and stainless steel.

I think you meant to say 9 hours, right? I believe 8-9 hours on clothing are the numbers that are circulating in media these days. It can survive the longest on metal, up to 12 hours. At least scientists seem to have discovered that the virus can't be transmitted over paper bills.

The way the crypto market looks now, I would never spend Bitcoin for such purchases. I'd much rather spend my fiat than giving away 40-50% more Bitcoin.

I agree - it's terrible timining. I think that chance to get infected from package is low, it's more likely to get infected while you take package from post office.
And probably in current situation, getting hardware wallet is very low on people's priority list. There is so many more important things right. And especialky, when crypto have fallen so much, interest in it have reduced very significantly.
But I suppose that Ledger aren't selling many wallets these days. So, they have to react somehow and push sales a bit.

Nice offer, but definitely bad timing. Not only because of the possibility of getting infected with COVID-19 if we consider how many hands package need to change, but also because of the crypto price that has fallen below all expectations. If one chooses to buy, be careful and disinfect the shipment as the virus can survive up to 9 days on different materials. Good luck to pick a valid word

I didn't want to create a separate thread just for this post so this one works as well.

Ledger is offering a new 20-25% discount on their wallets Ledger Nano S, Nano X, and the Backup Pack. The offer is valid until 31 March.
If you have registered to their newsletter, check your email.

If not here is what you need to do:

1. Add the product you want to buy to the cart.

2. Pick a word from the bip list and enter it in discount code area during checkout. The full list of words is available here.
here. A word can be used only once! If you receive the message: "The provided code is invalid", you can try another word.

3. Complete your purchase.

All info is available at https://shop.ledger.com/pages/2048-discount-codes

You still need SOMETHING to connect to it... You cannot send directly from the Ledger Nano X. As with the Nano S, you still need a computer or phone, it's just that with Bluetooth connectivity, you don't need an OTG cable to connect to your phone..


The Nano X obviously. It's newer and has more storage and features. There is a reason why the Nano S is cheaper than the Nano X

I got this email as well.  If you already have a nano ledger s, should you buy this deal?  I mean if you have no hardware wallet, is it a no brainer to get this since you are essentially getting 2 hardware wallets?  How much is total price including tax?  What about shipping?  When i ordered my nano ledger s years ago, i did expedited shipping and total cost was like 130 dollars or more i believe.  Now i see the ledger nano s price is a lot less.



But in terms of using it, is the nano ledger x better than the s?  But i believe the nano ledger x... you can send btc without having it connected to a computer right?  I know with the ledger nano s, you need to connect it to a computer... am i right? 



My nano ledger s i had for 2 years, the screen i notice recently is very dim.  Anyone here ever had this issue?  I read nano s does not use a battery but does last for 5 years.  So anyone had to replace it because of a dimmed screen?  Im close to positive i did not do anything with the brightness as i never even touched that ever.



If both were same price, do you get the nano ledger x or the s?  I assume you could hold a ton of other coins with the x right?  The s, i know you can only hold a few and need to remove/install app each time if you have more than 4 coins right?  I see on the site you could install up to 100 coins... that is crazy.



If you plan to get another ledger nano s, would you say best to get this deal as oppose to just buying another nano ledger s? 


To those that have both of these, which do you prefer?

Everyone who sells something is doing it for profit, and so are those who resell a product. I personally don't know at what price resellers buy from Ledger, but surely the discount depends on the amount of units they buy. Ledger certainly does not lose anything in wholesale, and any reseller can sell devices at a price that brings him profits.

Of course, it doesn't make sense for resellers to sell at a higher price than the official site, unless the final price is identical or approximately the same when all costs are added up. So if you can buy device directly from Ledger for $100 included shipping+VAT, would you buy from your local reseller for $105? Makes no sense, unless it is a direct purchase in a physical store so you as buyer save some time on delivery.

I couldn't find this on the site directly but I received an email with that offer from Ledger. I guess you did as well and you took the links from there.
If anyone is considering buying a Ledger device my advice is to subscribe to the newsletter. They might have more of these special offers in the future.

People (I mean reputed resellers) can literally sell the other device locally and earn profit so this way Ledger would lose. They could simply sell Ledger Nano X at a discount but now I can see the price of Ledger Nano X and the combo price is the same. Earlier they were offering discount coupons which was more reasonable.

In case if someone may be interested, Ledger have another offer. This time they are offering Family packs with 3 Nano X or 3 Nano S wallets:
3 Nano S with 26% discount
https://shop.ledger.com/products/ledger-nano-s-3pack
3 Nano X with 17% discount
https://shop.ledger.com/products/ledger-nano-x-3pack

Or perhaps you can find a friend that is considering a hardware wallet... and you can split the $59 savings...

For instance:
One person gets Nano X for: $89
Other person gets Nano S for: $30

Seems like a win for everyone... or you can simply buy the Nano X and get a "free" backup Nano S... Whichever way you look at it, it's still a decent savings of around 30%

If I didn't have a hardware wallet already and a friend offered me the chance to get a Nano S for $30... I'd be like:

ETFbitcoin, it is true that only OTG cable gives almost the same functionality to Nano S, but still, the idea of Ledger is for users to use 2 hardware wallets (for those who need it) which certainly makes sense considering that they need a business strategy to sell the new model while retaining the demand for the old model.

I personally used Electrum on my smartphone, but when the Nano X was at a 35% discount, it seemed like a pretty good opportunity for extra security.

Nano X is being promoted as a mobile HW (on the go) because it has Bluetooth, which is combined with Ledger Live mobile app. Definitely a far safer option than any mobile wallet, especially for those who like to spend some coins in physical stores. On the other hand, the Nano S is being promoted as an HW that never leaves home/apartment security and where most of the assets are stored. This definitely makes sense to me, but while the price of the Nano X is still quite high for most, the older model won't be so easy to forget.


Probably on the occasion of Easter, and maybe halving. For those who are considering buying an HW, any opportunity like this is a good thing. €59 savings it's not something that looks bad.

I have never received spam or bullshit emails from them, so you don't need to worry about that. I also used an email address that is not on top of my priority list.

@joniboini, @LTU_btc
You don't have to gift it to your partner. Buy the bundle together with a friend or sell the other one and get some of your investment back. Give it away or use it as payment for a service... the options are numerous.

We seem lucky this year, 3 months of continuous discount offers, starting at Christmas, Black Friday, the beginning of the year, Valentine and so on. Does anyone know about the upcoming occasions when new discounts that could occur?


Generally, they offer almost the same offers with some features, and this may be an indication of the success of previous seasons.
Does anyone know how much profit has been achieved?

I'm just weirdly thinking that they almost celebrate every occasion that we have in this world. Lol. But at least you could say to someone that if they are interested in getting a Ledger, they could just wait for the next holiday to come and they could score the best deal with that.

I do think that making Nano X as the main wallet is good, I'm just not sure what you could do with the other one. I use mine as an emergency wallet that I wouldn't touch for anything unless of course, the emergency.

---

It would really be weird to gift someone (not just your GF) with a crypto-related device and they got nothing to do with it. Maybe giving that to someone would lead them to support Bitcoin as well? Hmm.

I never knew they also celebrate Valentine's day.


I'm pretty sure most users won't leave their wallet out in the open and put a sign 'here's my wallet'. Not to mention it's a Trezor issue, not this one.

A decent offer for lovers. I might buy this if my gf is also into crypto. Sadly we're 12 hours apart and I doubt she likes an HW wallet as her birthday present.

Another great offer, but I won't use, because I'm forever alone :/. And I don't really two more hardware wallets.
But I'm wondering why Ledger are giving Nano S wallets for free again? Maybe they want to get rid all remaining their Nano S wallets ASAP and remove it from market?

I also hate newsletters, but I can tell that Ledger don't spam my inbox often.

Are you talking about the "hack" reported by Kraken Labs? Fairly sure that only applies to Trezor wallets... Ledger wallets do not suffer from that issue due to the use of the Secure Element.

Thanks for the heads-up on this, as I wouldn't ever have known they were giving a discount like this--I probably should sign up for their mailing list or something, but I hate those kinds of things.  Too bad 1) I don't need another hardware wallet right now; 2) The Nano X isn't the To The Moon edition; and 3) I can't afford to splurge on something I probably wouldn't use.

This is a fantastic deal, and I'm kind of wondering if Ledger has a surplus of inventory that they need to get rid of or something.  They make such a quality product that I don't think many Ledger owners find themselves needing to replace their devices all that often.

Was scared at first, know wallets atleast were vulnerable with physical access if no strong password was applied.

A new promotion by Ledger to celebrate the upcoming Valentine's Day. Whoever purchases a Leger Nano X receives a Ledger Nano S for free. Total price for the duo: €119. Total value of both products: €178. The promotion is valid until 17 FEB.
