🚀 Just recorded an in-depth tour of the advanced features of the Ledger STAX cryptocurrency hardware wallet! 🔐🌐 In this video, I cover everything from NFC technology and passphrase management to wireless charging and changing the lock screen photo using a picture from your computer or an NFT in your Ethereum wallet. 📸✨ Plus, I address the storage capacity concerns compared to the Ledger Nano X. Watch now to get the most out of your Ledger STAX! 🔥💡 #Crypto #LedgerSTAX #Security
Reason for small storage is probably to encourage buying multiple wallets you touched on this and is built in the name Stax. I think ledger did a good job here overall and I appreciate your videos about these wallets.
I moved everything off my ledger nano X because it was a pain in the ass to use. I think this is good tech and people who cant afford it can still use the cheaper models, something for everyone.
The CryptoDad is one of the real ones out there. You got the stax unboxing and review out there before anyone else. I am sure others have gotten theirs and no one is talking about them. Love your channel and you do a great job sir. Keep it up, I will keep watching you.
Yeah, I was just talking to my mom and dad about this thing, and told them that I recorded the video the day I received it from DHL. And that when you search TH-cam, no one else seems to have an unboxing video out yet. Kudos to you for picking up on that.
@@CryptoDad Hey when it comes to someone you can trust to give an honest review of a product you are the first person that comes to mind. I find it odd that still even today you would have a hard time finding a couple videos. I actually do searches daily to see if anyone else has done one. Probably because I am really excited to receive mine in Batch 3 that it's the closest I can come to one right now lol.
So you have a video for the best most economical way to transfer your money to Coinbase and then to ledger stax? Also is it best to get your crypto via Coinbase and transfer to the wallet or get your crypto via ledger live directly?
@8:30 once you confirmed that picture, the capacity of the stax increased from 1.07 to 1.09 Mb. Did you had another picture before, and once you replaced it it made more available space for the apps?
Oh also, ledger announced when they open orders again the price is going up because the cost the screen suppliers quoted them isn't what they are paying so that extra cost is passed to new orders.
how many of actually received yours, I was in batch 3 and I haven’t receive any shipping notification so far, it’s been two years now, I literally just lent my money to ledger with no interest.
You can add and delete apps at will. This will not destroy the wallets either. If you need access to one of the apps you deleted, just reinstall it, and you'll have full access to all of the crypto that you stored there.
CryptoDad does it again. Another great video. Thank you. If I may ask, 1) Is there a migration function from the X to Stax? 2) Does Stax allow swapping in the device?
It looks like the stacks (www.coingecko.com/en/coins/stacks) app is not available for the STAX device yet. You are going to have to wait until ledger updates it. You can still use it on your ledger Nano X.
I just confirmed that the stax app is actually available on the ledger stax device, you'll just have to contact ledger support. Sorry for the misinformation.
@@s.hervey6173 You should open a ticket. I was able to migrate the stacks app from my nano s plus to my ledger stax. The only issue i had with the process was the 24 hour wait time.
@@s.hervey6173 We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused by this error, we have however provided a migration link to all stax users experiencing this issue.
You might want to check in the settings and enable sounds. If they're already enabled, you might want to toggle them on and off to see if they'll kick in.
I toggle the sound button on and off a few times. Also reset the Stax to factory settings. The only way to hear sound is if it’s next to my ear. Can you hear a sound on your device from the distance in your video?
How's that saying go? "Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence". I wouldn't even call it incompetence, though. They're just working within the constraints of the secure element chip that they have. To do a complete redesign and overhaul of the secure element chip would cost them thousands if not millions of dollars in increased production costs. They basically would have to go back to the drawing board. And I'm not sure if that's even possible. We're talking about that little chip that we carry around in our ATM cards and credit cards. They would have to approach STM Micro for a completely new chip. www.st.com/content/st_com/en.html This would entail not just redesign costs, but a completely new fabrication process with updated molds and whatever it is they use.
For $279 no I don't think I will be buying more than one to stack them like they want me to 😂 now I do use two different Tangem hardware wallets one with everyday usage and the other one with my cold storage stuff but they're only 50 bucks a piece so I didn't feel bad buying two. Ledger Stax looks cool but it's a tough sale for me between the price and not trusting ledger like I used to.
Yes, I totally agree. Expecting a user to own several STAX devices is a big ask. And the Tangem price point makes it a no-brainer to buy more than one card set.
Must be how the Tesla owners felt when they paid upfront to wait...and wait... Hopefully, the disappointment will not mimic EV ownership. Internal combustion engines for ever; love my V8s. Keep fighting the good fight Rex.
"Every hardware wallet requires some level of trust." That is flat-out wrong. Only the ones that use closed source code require trust. You're doubling-down on defending Ledger and closed-source code, which makes me wonder if you don't know the difference between a seed and a signature. No hardware wallet should be able to expose a seed to the internet. You said that yourself before Ledger introduced the ability to extract keys over the internet.
Every single hardware wallet that employs a secure element chip is by definition, not completely open source. And most of the major brands employ secure element chips.

@@jamesjordanjr6175 Sure. A hardware wallet's job is to keep you safe by preventing anything connected to the internet from accessing your seed. This is referred to as "a cold wallet." The seed is never connected to the internet. Even when you connect your hardware wallet to your computer, your computer can't access your seed phrase on a hardware wallet. When you make transactions, your hardware wallet gets a request for a transaction from your app & it creates a signature to authorize the transaction. The signature is cryptographic proof that you have the keys, but the signature doesn't contain or reveal the keys. That's how a hardware wallet keeps you safe. What Ledger did was write firmware that gives their hardware wallets the ability to share the seed over the internet with Ledger and Ledger's partner companies ("Ledger Recover"). That means Ledger hardware wallets aren't "cold wallets" anymore. They're "hot wallets," because when you connect the hardware wallet to your computer, your seed can be reached over the internet. Ledger says this feature is optional, but Ledger's code isn't fully open, so you have to trust them to be telling you the truth, which is hard to do since Ledger lied about the seed being accessible over the internet. The important thing to understand here is that when Ledger's code gets hacked, nobody is going to find out until it's too late. Once hackers figure out how to get in, they're going to keep the hack a secret until they've stolen as many seeds as possible. And you'll have no way of knowing if hackers have your seed until they've stolen your coins. I'd expect hackers to not start emptying wallets until they've stolen as many seeds as they can, because they won't want to Let Ledger know there's a vulnerability in their code. Once hackers have your seed, they don't need to access your device ever again, since your seed phrase is the keys to your entire wallet unless you're using a passphrase. But since Ledger's code isn't fully open, we have no way of knowing if hackers could access your passphrase too. I want to make one thing clear here. Ledger Recover isn't the problem.

FINALLY A GOOD REVIEW! great video my friend. You right , there ment to be stacked. Going for one then wait till they come own.
I will wait for the second version.
Thank you, will be ordering one when available.
how to connect a stacks to existing wallet and swap between devices. with new recovery phase on stacks
So you have a video for the best most economical way to transfer your money to Coinbase and then to ledger stax? Also is it best to get your crypto via Coinbase and transfer to the wallet or get your crypto via ledger live directly?
NFC signing transactions would be so fire! Truly hope that becomes a feature!
I agree!
So month later how often are you having to charge this thing?
The STAX supports Qi wireless charging. So any standard Qi charger should work.
Cool thanks!
nice ! Good to know. I wonder if gets alittle warm by using diffrnt brands. my galaxy folds did abit.
@8:30 once you confirmed that picture, the capacity of the stax increased from 1.07 to 1.09 Mb. Did you had another picture before, and once you replaced it it made more available space for the apps?
Yes, I believe there was an NFT being used as the lock screen picture before I loaded that picture of my wife.
$269? I wish lol. I really like the stax I need something for ky long term holds
