Topic: No debits from the ledger possible. Who can help? (Read 377 times)
I have now backed up everything from the ledger except NEO, I can't find the NEO app in the app catalog anymore. Anyone know what's going on here?
-snip-
No, I work with Electrum.Ledger live is overwhelmed and crashes.
Yes, the transactions from that list wont be omitted once spent.
The only thing you can do is to filter it by date (Wallet->History->Filter) but those will still be loaded in the background.
The inputs are now greatly reduced, but ledger has saved all transactions and the list has not gotten any smaller.
Is it because of that?
Do you mean "Ledger Live"?Is it because of that?
Clearing the cache should also clear the spent coins after it resynchronize.

The day before yesterday I started to get my amounts on the new device.
I let Electrum work 13 hours yesterday for 206 inputs. When Electrum has finished signing, it is important that I unlock the ledger quickly beforehand, otherwise the error message I posted above will appear, so you always have to make sure that you are on the computer at the end of the procedure .
I now only have coins from 40 entries (previously around 500) on my ledger.
I'm just sending 20 more to my new device but it's still taking a very, very long time.
The inputs are now greatly reduced, but ledger has saved all transactions and the list has not gotten any smaller.
Is it because of that?
I'm curious how it behaves when getting the other coins over, I hope it works better/faster.
Then I will reset the old ledger and set it up again and see if everything works normally again.

Hardware wallets have never really been very good at dealing with large numbers of UTXOs as they pretty much all run using relatively low-end hardware with the associated memory/CPU limitations.
What might be "fine" for you average PC/desktop, can really cause issues with hardware wallets as they struggle to process/verify all the data from 10s/100s of transactions etc.
I get that it takes some processing power to sign the transaction, but how hard could it be to design it in such a way that it doesn't matter? Especially if the same address received many transactions, Electrum handles all inputs, and only sends the ones that need signing to the hardware wallet. So even if you have 10,000 inputs, I don't get why signing a transaction with 10 inputs would take longer than it takes when you don't have those 10,000 inputs. To compare: If I would copy the same unsigned transaction from a watch-only wallet to sign it offline with Electrum, the transaction doesn't get larger if I have another 10,000 inputs that I'm not using in that transaction.What might be "fine" for you average PC/desktop, can really cause issues with hardware wallets as they struggle to process/verify all the data from 10s/100s of transactions etc.
So to me, this sounds like a design flaw that they're trying to prevent by telling their customers to basically not use their hardware wallet to receive Bitcoin too often.

But I have the feeling that the problem with the speed is not due to the hardware.
For example, if I open Ledger live without connecting the Ledger to my computer, my computer works very hard to synchronize my transactions until the program crashes.
I would switch from using Ledger Live that is known to have bugs, and use Electrum or Sparrow wallet connected with ledger, you can use that for Bitcoin.For example, if I open Ledger live without connecting the Ledger to my computer, my computer works very hard to synchronize my transactions until the program crashes.
Reducing number of mining rewards you receive should probably solve the problems, because ledger server probably considers many transactions similar as ddos attacks.
I will try to contact all other hardware wallets to find out if they have similar issues with transactions.
I ordered a Ledger Nano X because I don't just manage BTC.
Oh no... I hope you won't have many issues with their crap battery and with other bugs this device have 
If it's not to late I would switch this to model S plus, or even better to some better open source hardware wallet.
I did some research about Trezor hardware wallets, and they are saying that Trezor is not designed as a mining rewards wallet because of high number of transactions,
so they are suggesting costumers to compile more transactions to one and then deposit to Trezor wallet.
That's disappointing. Ledger has the exact same recommendation.so they are suggesting costumers to compile more transactions to one and then deposit to Trezor wallet.
For example, if I open Ledger live without connecting the Ledger to my computer, my computer works very hard to synchronize my transactions until the program crashes.
Ledger Live is quite bad, Electrum works better. Unless you have thousands of transactions/addresses, in that case Electrum servers may time out too.I hadn't thought about that either, but I think it won't be a big difference, but it would be avoidable.
While fees are low, you're right. But once fees peak (like in 2017), inputs around 0.001BTC mostly go towards fees. Like this:someone made this 4909 bytes transaction with 33 inputs and 510 Satoshis/byte fee. After paying fees, his 0.033BTC turned into only 0.0079539BTC. If he would make the same transaction now with 20 Satoshis/byte fee, he would have saved 0.024BTC. Instead of just 0.0079539BTC, he would have ended up with 4 times more!
I've never seen a reason why mining rewards should stay on the pools longer than necessary, so I've always set it to the minimum payout amount.
I have of course changed this now.
But I had never heard of it before, which could cause problems at some point.
Normally it's not much of an issue in most wallets, unless we're taking about thousands of small payouts.I have of course changed this now.
But I had never heard of it before, which could cause problems at some point.
Yours is a unique case.
That setting will also save you some satoshi later when you need to spend your mining rewards.
Because it could cause you to pay more fee if you end up creating transactions with high number of inputs (higher transaction size).
Yes, that's right.

Should I rather get another hardware wallet and try to get my inventory over there?
What is your exact model of ledger hardware wallet?Old and retired model S is slower than newer models, but I don't think this change would speed anything in your case, and your computer hardware and processor is more than enough.
Maybe hardware wallet devices with faster processors will have less issues with many transactions, but this is just my speculation.
it's not faster yet. I'll get a new hardware wallet on Tuesday, then I'll try to get everything over and will then reset the ledger.
Did you choose any other manufacturer for hardware wallet?I would suggest getting something that is open source, and if you are only dealing with Bitcoin than Passport by Foundation could be good option.
As for other hardware wallets, I never heard someone had problems with mining rewards, but you can check the list I made for open source wallets available today:

Yes, My Nano S is an old model, it is several years old.

I will empty my old Ledger Nanos and then set it up completely again and then use it as a second storage memory.

Now that you mentioned it, it looks like OP is mining bitcoins based from his post history.I did some research about Trezor hardware wallets, and they are saying that Trezor is not designed as a mining rewards wallet because of high number of transactions,

@Moeter81 most mining pools usually have a "minimum payment" setting. (or a similar name)
Setting a higher value will lessen your UTXO amount since the pool will only send once in a while.
(of course, your current UTXOs wont be affected by it)
If the other hardware wallet can't consolidate/send those as well, you can create an Electrum "cold-storage" set-up to consolidate the funds or send it to a new wallet.
It's as secure as a hardware wallet as long as the offline device is totally air-gap (wiki) and wiped entirely after you've done with the consolidation.
Alternatively and recommended, send the funds to a newly setup hardware device with a new seed phrase.
Tutorial: https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/coldstorage.html
Creating a wallet from BIP39 seed requires some additional steps like enabling "BIP39 seed" in the seed option, extend seed (if it has a passphrase)
and selecting the correct script type (no Taproot support yet) and derivation path for account 2+.

i managed to do another transaction on an external wallet today i combined 42 and it took 3 hours.
Does it get faster once you have less remaining funded inputs in your wallet?I also wonder if your Ledger with the current wallet will work okay again once all your inputs are consolidated, or that somehow the existence of those used addresses will still slow it down.
it's not faster yet. I'll get a new hardware wallet on Tuesday, then I'll try to get everything over and will then reset the ledger.
I will report Tuesday if I was successful.
And I got a response from Ledger today:
"It looks like your problem is that you are sending a high number of transactions to a hardware wallet. If you are sending many small payments or so-called "dust payments" to an address controlled by your hardware wallet can cause your blockchain transactions to become out of sync, which can significantly increase the time it takes to construct or validate transactions.
You can either create an account on Ledger and make the transfer little by little, or try Electrum."

it occurs when signing.
Ledger posted about this last year:Quote
Sending a large number of transactions to a Ledger hardware wallet is troublesome.
Their proposed solution is nothing we haven't discussed yet:
Quote
Try to consolidate your coins by sending a few larger payments to yourself. For example, if you have received 1,000 times 0.001 BTC, consolidate these inputs by sending 0.1 BTC to yourself and repeat this 10 times.
Alternatively, import your 24-word recovery phrase into a software wallet (at your own risk), preferably an offline one, and empty your account balance into an address that is derived from a newly generated seed.

Wild-Interaction on Reddit solved it by using his Trezor:
Quote
I "solved" the issue by not using Ledger. In this case I had a Trezor initialized with the same seeds so I just used that to transfer all my BTC out which took Trezor less than a second to sign (as expected).
I think the reason why it slowdown even on 5 inputs may be because of the connection problem you might be using a broken USB cable
My assumption was this problem occurs while creating the transaction, but if you're right, it's while signing it. Is that correct, OP?When I bought the Ledger back then, I thought I had made a good choice.
But now I don't have a good feeling about it anymore.
Unfortunately, what is on the ledger is not exactly small.
Still, 400 inputs isn't that much, and if that would be a problem, I would have expected much more complaints about it.But now I don't have a good feeling about it anymore.

That should work, as far as I know Trezor uses the same seed format. Whatever you do, don't enter your seed words in any website! You probably know this, but people still do it once in a while.Alternative: use IanColeman's software to recover private keys, but this requires an offline setup and you should know what you're doing including offline signing. Another hardware wallet is easier and probably the safest choice.

What are the system specs? RAM? CPU? and so on. Are you running anything else that could be grabbing system resources?
Probably not the problem but any 1 thing that is limiting can bring some other things to a crawl.
Figure it's worth verifying that before we all go down the rabbit hole of figuring out what else it may be

I think the reason why it slowdown even on 5 inputs may be because of the connection problem you might be using a broken USB cable try to replace it with a known working one or try to clean the USB plug and terminals with a brush and thinner/alcohol.
And then try to update the driver follow the guide here "Guide on how to update ledger driver."

Ledger nano works fine with Electrum for me too, but i don't have that many inputs there.
that worked now.
However, it took 20 minutes for the 5, I have about 400

Now you know the drill.
I'll add that you don't necessarily need to consolidate all the inputs, you can just select some in the same way when you want to pay for something... and make sure the sum is big enough and you didn't use too many inputs; of course, on the long run you'll need to get the number of inputs down to a more bearable number. Good luck!
I've made transactions on Electrum with 50 inputs, and that didn't take a second. I can't tell you what's wrong though.
With Ledger Nano S? (Maybe the Ledger is the issue? Loong ago it was not slow for me neither.)

I just find it strange that it always takes so long, after 10 min Electrum shows me 2/5.
I just find it strange that it always takes so long, after 10 min Electrum shows me 2/5.
It is slow for me too when I have many inputs, but not that slow. However, for 10-15 inputs it took me too more than a minute (yeah, it cannot really compare with your 10 minutes for 2 inputs).
The problem is that each such transaction you make is on-chain, hence it costs you transaction fees, so it would be advisable to try to get more inputs together.
PS. Be careful to not pay too big fee either (but I'd advise not the smallest either, i.e. at very least 1.1 sat/vByte)
That means I go to Electrum and copy the address and send the collected amounts to myself?
Yes.
First of all, I'd make sure you work with BTC and not mBTC (Tools->Preferences->Base unit).
Basically you pick an address of yours that's empty and has no transactions (View->Show Addresses, pick one with tx = 0 copy the address to clipboard).
Also View->Show Coins, go to coins tab and select some of them (maybe some 50 at once, but make sure the amount is not too small on them ie ignore those with less than 0.0000055 BTC, if you have such inputs; you can sort the inputs by amount). So, with Ctrl-click you select some inputs, then right-click and press Spend. Only those inputs will be used in the next transaction.
You had an address in clipboard, now go to Send tab and send the max amount to this address (CTRL-V). The max amount will be only from those selected inputs.
Repeat this a couple of times with the smaller inputs until you get much shorter list of inputs. But not too small inputs.
That 50 I've said .. you'll adjust depending on how long the operation takes and whether it fails.
Also, if the transaction fee is way too big (even at 1 sat/vByte), then you may want to do the operation again with a different set of inputs, by skipping more of the smaller ones.
the nano s has no BT
Nano S has no BT, but with the right cable or adapter I do use mine with smartphone now and then.
However, that's not relevant for now. Electrum for desktop may do the job better imho.

So transfer the entire balance to a paper wallet, for example?
No, you don't need to transfer them to a paper wallet you need to transfer them to the same wallet.
I forgot to include the guide from LoyceV so better checks the link from his post above it should be the right way how to consolidate the transaction.
As you said above that you have lots of small inputs which might be the reason why the ledger live and Electrum crashed.
Choosing inputs manually can help to avoid this error unless you are planning to withdraw them all.
I suggest if you want to withdraw or send them all consolidate them if you have 100 or more inputs divide them into 3 or 4 or it depends on how many inputs you have so that you can consolidate them without any error from ledger live and Electrum.

@Beparanf, I don't see how Ledger Live on a smartphone would be able to do what the OP can't do on the desktop version - and besides, there's no mention of a model X that has BT, so it's possible that the OP is using an old model S.
It is very likely that this is exactly the problem, because Electrum has always had a problem with wallets that have a lot of dust transactions. I had a similar problem as you when I first used Electrum many years ago and the way I solved it was to extract the private key from each address and enter it in another wallet. Of course, you have the problem that your main wallet is actually a hardware wallet, and accordingly you cannot see your private keys in Electrum - and not even in Ledger Live as far as I know.
The last option would be to try to extract your private keys from your seed, but that would mean that the seed is compromised. You can read more about it here - but I recommend that you use it as a last option, and that you be extremely careful in every step.

I have the suspicion that the programs are overwhelmed with the many small BTC inputs, since I have been getting smaller amounts transferred every day for a long time.

There’s a live ledger app for your mobile. You can connect your ledger on your mobile through bluetooth and transfer all the balance without the need to use the computer. It’s much simpler rather than still use your desktop to connect your ledger on windows app like electrum.

I've synced the mobile app with the desktop app many times. The mobile phone app keeps crashing when synchronizing and all entries are then gone again.

"Transaction receipts are being prepared... (phase1, 3/349)"
I haven't seen this message before, but I know a thing or two about consolidating small inputs.I would try this: Enable the Coins tab in Electrum, go there, and select different inputs (hold CTRL to select them). Then use your right mouse button and select Spend. Select 50-ish inputs at a time, and send the full balance to a new address that you own. If you're not in a rush, manually set the fee to 1 or 1.1 sat/vbyte. It will most likely confirm on Sunday if it doesn't confirm earlier.
Repeat this until you no longer have small inputs.
okay, I'll try it first with 8 entries.

How about trying to consolidate your all inputs?
Send them all to your bitcoin wallet to consolidate them.
If it didn't work the solution that I think is to make an offline transaction with coinb.in I think it doesn't need too much CPU process and this one needs two devices because you need an online and offline device to consolidate all inputs.
But the problem is you will need to extract the private key from your hardware wallet.
Do you have OTG? I would like you to try if you can make a transaction on mycelium with your ledger.q

If it didn't work the solution that I think is to make an offline transaction with coinb.in I think it doesn't need too much CPU process and this one needs two devices because you need an online and offline device to consolidate all inputs.
But the problem is you will need to extract the private key from your hardware wallet.

Hello,
maybe you can help me here?
I've been trying to make a BTC transfer from my ledger for a few days, unfortunately without success because the Ledger Live software crashes every time.
In the Windows task manager, I can see that the app's energy requirements are very high, I think that's why the app is crashing.
I've now tried it with Electrum, unfortunately I can't get any further there either. The stocks were loaded correctly, but if I want to send an amount, a window comes up saying: "Transaction receipts are being prepared... (phase1, 3/349)" I just let the program run, after approx. 9 hours, it was at some point 103/349. after sometime, there was again an error message and the transaction was not executed.
Hardware and software are both updated, I tried it on different computers/systems (Mac Book, Windows), unfortunately without success.
I wrote to Ledger 2 days ago, unfortunately without an answer so far.
I have the suspicion that the programs are overwhelmed with the many small BTC inputs, since I have been getting smaller amounts transferred every day for a long time.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get my inventory?
