An airgapped wallet is still better than a hardware one. Even if the airgapped wallet doesn't have compatibility with the banano blockchain, it's the price you have to pay...

Although it's interesting to tee they're adding so many forks of ethereum since ethereum was already a forked coin itself...

Indeed. So far number of supported currencies on Ledger Live app is very limited. It causes inonvenience for users and they are forced to search for alternatives
I'm not sure that there was big demand from users to add these coins. There are some coins which more worth to add. For example, many people are literally attacking Ledger to add Cardano finally.

The last time I checked they were actively working on adding Monero support. The roadblock is writing the code to sign the transactions on the device, because it's very different than other coins. "Shitcoins" can be added quickly and in large numbers mostly because they are simple derivations of existing coins that already have Ledger support.

FORK is easy to add. Needs little work. is low cost and excellent marketing because the number of coins supported is high. Unfortunately serious and unique projects are more difficult. Some projects like ADA, IOTA and MONERO need a collaboration with the project devs. I think this makes it very difficult. I still hope to see ADA added. But I think it will be difficult because soon it will have PoS and Pools.

It is much easier for them to add such coins then to add more coins to Ledger Live, if I'm not mistaken Banano is fork of Nano, and what to say about fork of forks.... Also they just want to stay in the race with Trezor which also start to support many rather unimportant coins, but this is just competition which should at the end make things better for users.


Is it better or it is safer? Maybe this is the case if you have 1-2 wallets on airgapped device, but to have a 20-30 wallets stored in such way is only have sense for long term holding. Hardware wallets are made for daily transaction, but also for long term holding. Regarding price, for any serious user 100$ is not a problem.

What insecurity you actually talk when you talk about hardware wallets? Show me one example that anyone is lost any coin as a result of hacking hardware wallet? Caution is in the world of cryptocurrency most important thing, but the way you're thinking is actually paranoia...

Ledger support Banano because it is just fork of Nano and it was easy to add it, it is not fork of ethereum network as you say - you shoud do more research before write such things. I agree that most of forked coins do not make any sense, and this is also case for Banano - but since many Nano holders get Banano I do not see why Ledger would not support this coin, there are many coins ever worse then this one.

You can see which coins they are currently working on here: https://trello.com/b/5nQ1mdzt/ledger-roadmap

At the moment there are a couple of bigger coins in development (ADA, IOTA), but unfortunately the majority are just more shitcoins, half of which I've never even heard of: (Musicoin, Callisto, GoChain, Cosmos, etc).

First of all, as I understand it the ledger nano wallets show your seed on the screen so at that point, that seed should be considered compromised as it has touched the internet.
Secondly, I'm not sure how many people compile the binaries fro themselves instead of running the exectuable so they cannot determine it's safety.
Thirdly, they used to use a google chrome extension, if tere's a browser that is the worst for being infected with malware and worms it's chrome...


Oh I take it back then...
Ba-nano - I get it now ... Cool name.

Just wondering why Nano focus on those shitcoins, they don't even deserve to be store in hardware wallet and I think nobody cares if these shitcoins get hack.


Maybe just because EOS is still innovating that's why they having a hard time unlike on those erc20 token based.
