Just so you guys know, there has been a flood of lost funds and concerns from people using Ledger products, even from the creator of the NEO Ledger app. Support is insulting customers who complain.

I don't think ledger is unsafe to use at the moment, at least I sincerely hope not as I am a customer. However, the recent surge of similar stories of people losing funds, combined with these completely antagonistic attitude of the CTO combined with nonexistent support, and the total censorship of any attempt to crowdsource data on the issue, is a BIG RED FLAG. I hope people don't downvote this post thinking it's an attack on ledger, it's just a big problem with recent actions and hopefully things will be clarified and explained soon - or even better, the problem fixed. Hell, the NEO app developer already suggested a possible fix for the most common issue reported.
Many reports of incorrect public addresses being generated, users completely losing funds

Just for those saying it's only noobs who have concerns, read this comment thread (including the downvoted replies) from the developer of the NEO ledger app and the guy working on the raiblocks ledger app.

The CTO is getting heated and basically saying he is sick of dealing with the useless people (aka customers) in virtually every reply. Being very snarky.

Evrial Trojan Switches Bitcoin Addresses Copied to Windows Clipboard
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/evrial-trojan-switches-bitcoin-addresses-copied-to-windows-clipboard/
A new information stealing Trojan called Evrial is being sold on criminal forums and being actively distributed in the wild. Like most infostealing Trojans, Evrial can steal browser cookies and stored credentials, but this Trojan also has the ability to monitor the Windows clipboard for certain text, and if detected, modify it to something else.
First discovered and tracked by security researchers MalwareHunterTeam and Guido Not CISSP, by monitoring the Windows clipboard for certain strings, Evrial makes it easy for attackers to hijack cryptocurrency payments and Steam trades. This is done by replacing legitimate payment addresses and URLs with addresses under the attacker's control.
Evrial takes control of the Windows clipboard
Evrial's most interesting feature is that it will monitor the Windows clipboard for certain types of strings and replace them with ones sent by the attacker. This allows the attacker to reroute a cryptocurrency payment to an address under their control. While clipboard monitoring is common with programs like this, MalwareHunterTeam has told BleepingComputer that modifications are much more rare.
For example, bitcoin addresses are not the easiest string of text to type into a program or website. Due to this, when someone sends bitcoins to an exchange or wallet, they typically copy the address that the coins should be sent to into the Windows clipboard and then paste that address into the other app or site that is performing the sending.
When Evrial detects a bitcoin address in the clipboard, it replaces that legitimate address with one under the attacker's control. The victim then pastes that address into their app, thinking its the legitimate one and not realizing its been replaced, and clicks send. Now when the bitcoins are sent, they go to the attackers address rather than your intended recipient.
Evrial is configured to detects strings that correspond to Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero, WebMoney, Qiwi addresses and Steam items trade urls.
Evrial steals passwords documents
In addition to monitoring and modifying the clipboard, Evrial will also steal bitcoin wallets, stored passwords, documents from the victim's desktop, and a screenshot of the active windows. All of this information will be compiled into a zip file and uploaded to the attackers web panel ..............

Thanks for this info! It's the first I've heard of it, and hopefully the anti-virus folks will have protection pushed out soon....
I heard about it a few months ago. Protect yourself by manually verifying the address you pasted in. Verify the whole address, not just the 1st few characters as the program tries to match the address to yours (especially the 1st few characters). I think it has mainly targeted bitcoin addresses, but hackers are persistent.
With rising valuation of our coins, it pays to be a little paranoid especially when your coins are worth thousands of dollars. Better have a dedicated secured PC for syncing wallets, transferring to and from from exchanges and nothing else. Leave the browsing and gaming to your regular day to day PC.

KuCoin – an exchange that is catching the radar of many traders as an option to go, is recommending that users step to a different coin altogether as a solution to complete the transfers. The choice would be NEO.
It is the first time we’ve seen a popular cryptocurrency exchange advise users against relying on Ethereum for withdrawals and deposits. This sets a very interesting precedent, although it is expected that this is a one-time event. The Ethereum developers have been working on major network improvements for some time now

I once used Ehtereum for transferring funds and it was painful. It took a long time to arrive, more than 1 hour. If I'm Kucoin, I won't recommend Ethereum either.

NEON 0.1.1 released.
https://github.com/CityOfZion/neon-wallet/releases
Bugfixes:
Fixes the explorer bug, where links to the tx would always lead to the testnet (instead of the chosen network).
Allow filtering on the dropdown component, and fix a bug where using a backspace would trigger an error.
Allows NEP5 transfer to use the SC decimals, instead of a hard-coded one.
Fixes issues with NEP-5/GAS transfers.

Thank you for the update. Neon works great!
I haven't bought any tokens with Neon yet, but I will in the near future
But I will be careful to not send Neo to any closed token sales...
Better be smart than sorry. The Qlink ICO is over, even if Neon supports a function to participate in a token sale.

The new version of Neon supports a function to participate in a token sale (ICO). CoZ made it easy for Neo holders to send tokens in a toke sale event. However - this functionality is not disabled for tokens where the sale is over. This means if you send NEO today, thus after the ICO has ended, your tokens will be lost.
Here is an extract from the disclamer on the Neon token sale page: If you send NEO/GAS to a token sale that has already ended, you will lose your NEO/GAS and will not be refunded.
So better be smart than sorry.

Neo is a superior product over Ethereum, and is "Prime Contender Against Ethereum in the Smart Contract Space", as the article explains.

I deleted my chain files because my wallet didn't sync anymore. I restarted and now it is showing 2 numbers. Does anyone know why?
This is normal, when it is fully synced and you open your wallet all 3 numbers should be the same.
Hi, yes, but why are there 3 numbers? I've only ever had 2 numbers.
2nd - for local blockchain
3rd - for network blockchain.
I saw these after upgrading to a later wallet.
Thanks! I recently downloaded a new version of the wallet, so that probably explains

Kucoin Recommends the Use of NEO for Withdrawals
We've detected the network congestion of ETH official website, it is more likely the occurrence of delay withdrawal of ETH from part of the users. Hence we'd recommend users to proceed withdrawal by transferring ETH to NEO.

I did my research about NEO and took notes in the way. Based on my notes, I wrote a short (2-3 min) review. Might be helpful for newcomers who want to understand the NEO a bit more.
