The Ledger Nano S
is
one
of
four
hardware
wallets
with
a
screen.
Ledger,
one
of
the
best-known
Bitcoin
security
companies,
released the device in August 2016.
The
Ledger
HW.1
can
be
considered
a
hardware
wallet
for
the
small
budget.
It
has
no
screen,
so
it's
not
quite
as
secure as the three devices above. However, it will still offer you more security than a hot wallet.
Ledger HW.1
was
launched
in
August
2014
as
the
first
bitcoin
hardware
wallet,
offering
secure
bitcoin
storage
and
the
convenience of a hot wallet. TREZOR is a small, thumb-sized device.
Trezor
KeepKey
was
released
in
September
2015
and
was
the
second
hardware
bitcoin
wallet
with
a
screen.
The
larger
screen
here offers some additional security features that the Nano S and Trezor lack.
Everyday
use
is
possible
with
the
Ledger
Nano
S
hardware
wallet
without
any
trouble.
The
software
provided
by
Ledger
offers
all
the
basic
options
and
operation
via
the
two
buttons
is
quick
and
easy.
In
summary,
it
is
very
easy
to
carry
out
a
transaction.
The
one
additional button press on the device is not a major limitation, but ensures a high level of security.
Supported devices
According to Ledger, the Ledger Nano S is compatible with almost all operating systems that run Chrome Browswer:
•
Windows
•
Android
•
Linux
•
Mac
•
Chrome OS
Currently the following
cryptocurrencies are supported:
•
Bitcoin
•
Ripple
•
Komodo
•
Dash
•
Dogecoin
•
Ethereum
•
Litecoin
•
Stratis
•
Zcash
The
only
interface
is
the
USB
connection.
It
is
therefore
not
possible
to
make
transactions
wirelessly
with
the
Ledger
Nano
S.
However,
it
is
possible
to
use
an
OTG
cable
to
verify
transactions
with
an
Android
smartphone
via
compatible
apps
such
as
GreenBits. IPhones have the slightly more limited iOS operating system installed, which unfortunately cannot handle USB devices.
Alternatively,
you
can
use
the
watch-only
function
of
your
hardware
wallet
and
install
an
app
that
only
watches
the
wallet
and
cannot
make transactions.
The following third-party wallets and services are supported, among others:
Ledger
Wallet
Bitcoin
Passwort
Manager
Bitstamp
FIDO/U2F
Ledger
Wallet
Ethereum
Mycelium
Copay
Electrum
MyEtherWallet
GreenBits BitGo
Compatibility
The
Ledger
Nano
S
can
be
used
both
mobile
(Android)
and
with
a
desktop
computer.
It
also
offers
numerous
other
possibilities,
such
as
compatibility
with
exchanges
like
Bitstamp
or
use
as
a
universal
second
factor.
The
only
disadvantage
at
the
moment
is
that
Chrome extensions are necessary for set-up and standard use, so you have to rely on Google's browser.
+ 1st place in the Bitcoin Wallet Privacy Rating Report 2016
+ Inexpensive hardware wallet
+ Easy to use and set up
+ Supports numerous altcoins
+ Runs open source apps in complete isolation
+ Can also be used with smartphones via an OTG cable
+ FIDO/U2F compatible for secure internet login
+ Own display and buttons as second factor
- Google Chrome or Chromium is required
The
TREZOR
Wallet
leaves
nothing
to
be
desired
in
terms
of
functionality
and
operation.
If
a
function
is
not
clear
or
there
are
questions,
the
extensive
documentation
helps
immediately,
which
is
very
positive.
The
basic
functions
such
as
sending
and
receiving
work
without
any
problems
and
offer
all
important
actions,
such
as
emptying
a
wallet
or
direct
conversion
into
another
currency.
The
simple
management
of
accounts
and
the
easy
way
to
describe
any
address
or
transaction
by
connecting
to Dropbox are also very helpful features.
Additional
functions
such
as
a
fully
functional
password
manager,
the
use
as
a
universal
second
factor
or
the
signing
of
messages
still set the TREZOR Wallet apart from its competitors.
Supported cryptocurrencies:
•
Bitcoin
•
Dash
•
Dogecoin
•
Ethereum
•
Litecoin
•
Namecoin
•
Zcash
Not
all
cryptocurrencies
are
supported
directly
by
the
TREZOR
wallet
software
from
SatoshiLabs,
but
in
some
cases
only
via
third-
party software.
Only
Bitcoin-like
coins
are
supported
by
the
TREZOR
wallet
software.
If
you
want
to
manage
Ethereum
via
the
TREZOR
wallet,
for
example, you will only receive a message that you should use another service, in this case MyEtherWallet.
Supported software and services
TREZOR
enjoys
great
popularity
among
users
of
cryptocurrencies,
which
is
why
there
are
a
large
number
of
so-called
TREZOR
apps.
These
are
software
or
online
services
that
have
integrated
TREZOR
support
via
the
official
API.
This
means,
for
example,
that
you
can
interact
with
the
hardware
wallet
of
the
online
exchange
Bitstamp
directly
via
the
website
or
use
other
software
wallets
such
as
Electrum or Copay.
This means that the following software and services are supported:
•
Copay
•
Electrum
•
MyEtherWallet
•
Mycelium
•
MultiBit
•
ArcBit
•
Coinmap
•

A complete and up-to-date list of all TREZOR apps can be found in the official documentation.
Mobile use
TREZOR
Manager
SatoshiLabs,
the
manufacturer
of
the
TREZOR
hardware
wallet,
provides
an
Android
app
called
TREZOR
Manager.
This app works with all Android smartphones that support the USB OTG standard. You also need a special USB OTG cable to use it.
Compatibility
TREZOR
can
be
used
on
the
following
platforms:
Windows
Linux
Mac
Android
It
is
particularly
noteworthy
that
with
TREZOR
you
can
even set up the hardware wallet via an Android smartphone by using the TREZOR Manager app.
With Ledger, for example, a computer is always necessary to set up the wallet.
+ Supports a wide range of services, software and altcoins.
+ Large community and constant further development
+ Can be used and set up completely on the move (Android, OTG cable required)
+ The TREZOR Wallet software offers many functions and is easy to use

Keepkey
is
a
crypto
hardware
wallet
that
supports
a
number
of
other
currencies
in
addition
to
Bitcoin.
It
convinces
with
its
easy
handling and the beautiful, simple, black design.
KeepKey
works
with
the
wallet
software
on
your
computer
by
managing
private
key
generation,
private
key
storage
and
transaction
signing.
Initialisation
The
Hardware
Wallet
generates
a
private
key
with
its
hardware-based
random
number
generator,
combined
with
the
randomness
of
your computer.
Backing up the hardware wallet
Once
your
private
key
is
generated,
you
are
given
the
unique
opportunity
to
write
down
a
backup
copy
of
your
KeepKey
in
the
form
of a twelve-word recovery phrase.
Secure storage
Your
private
key
is
securely
stored
on
your
KeepKey,
never
leaving
the
device.
Your
KeepKey
is
PIN-protected,
making
it
useless
even
if it falls into the wrong hands.
Handling on the KeepKey
KeepKey's
large
display
adds
clarity
to
every
digital
asset
that
leaves
the
device.
Each
transaction
must
be
manually
approved
using
KeepKey's confirmation button.

If your KeepKey is lost or stolen, you can securely recover your device without compromising its private keys.
