RE: Ledger Nano S and Blue Now Available for Pre-Order.

in #bitcoin8 years ago

Thanks for sharing this information. This might seem a strange question - although I am planning to buy a hardware wallet. Would a flash drive suffice or are there special features/added securities on these special hardware wallets?

Sort:  

There is a secure element in these wallets that increases the security. They also have methods to restore the wallet if it dies.

Thanks a lot for your response. Very helpful

Glad to help! I definitely recommend the Ledger devices.

A flash drive works but these have an extra layer of security built in.
