Transferring my Bitcoin from my iOS wallet to my new wallet That means I could create a Bitcoin wallet in Ledger Live, and store the private keys on the Ledger.
#LEDGER LIVE IOS SOFTWARE#
I've only got Bitcoin, so that was the only software I installed on the Ledger. That said, I reviewed the script and decided I was comfortable with it.Īfter I'd run it, the Ledger connected correctly, and was validated. I understand why, for ease of use, Ledger did it this way, but I'm sceptical that encouraging people to do this in connection with a hardware security device is a brilliant approach. Perhaps I'm paranoid, but grabbing a script from Github and then piping it to a shell with administrative privileges? Sounds like a potential recipe for disaster if that script gets compromised. The bit I didn't like? The solution was this: wget -q -O - | sudo bash There was a slight hurdle when the software wanted to validate that my device was genuine, but the error message linked to a help screen, and that offered the solution: udev rules. The random nature of the initial number for each PIN character slot is a good touch, to make it harder for someone to guess your PIN by observation. Sure, it's a bit of a faff entering your PIN, but it's far from terrible and, given the form of the device, I'm not sure what a better solution might look like. The Ledger's two-button interface works better than I had expected. The setup process was well documented, and the on-screen guide was clear.
#LEDGER LIVE IOS HOW TO#
I'm not a fan of AppImage executables, if only because they're a pain to integrate with a desktop environment (unless that just means I don't know how to do it). The less positive note is that it's an AppImage, rather than a. No need for an unofficial client, or someone else's repackaging. I installed the Ledger Live software, from the official website.Ī positive note is that it supports Linux. It arrived with about 45% charge, so I just popped it on charge while I installed the software. I checked that the packaging was sealed (although I doubt it would take a criminal mastermind to reseal a package.). I bought it via Amazon, and it was the first time I'd experienced Amazon insisting I provide a PIN code to the driver, before they would deliver the package. It was readily available, and seemed to offer what I need now and what I might need in future. Ledger Nano XĪ friend recommended a Ledger Nano X. I don't have much cryptocurrency, and I view it as an experiment, and a learning exercise for me, rather than as a viable alternative to fiat at the moment, and this exercise too was interesting. So I thought it was a good opportunity to try a hardware cryptocurrency wallet.
As part of moving from an iPhone to something else (currently a OnePlus 6T running /e/), I needed to move my on-iPhone Bitcoin wallet somewhere.
