While trying to open the Litecoin wallet with the Bitcoin Chrome application, synchronization took forever and I ledger wallet reddit gone reached the wallet.
I checked the Ledger knowledge base and found some tips to solve this:. I tried out all of this and also reinstalled the Litecoin app on the Ledger, but nothing helped.
At least I was still ledger wallet reddit gone to access all the other wallets like Bitcoin and Ether. Ledger wallet reddit gone I went ledger wallet reddit gone sleep and had some really bad nightmares about loosing all my coins.
But this morning I tried opening the Litecoin wallet again. I was very short before heart attack and opened up the support form on the Ledger-site, but what I read there wasn't so funny either:. The best way to fix your issue is most of the time to read our guides and FAQ on http: Before I really went mad, I had just one more idea: I headed over to reddit and found the Ledger wallet subreddit.
I instantly felt a great relieve when I noticed, that I wasn't the only one having exactly the same issue. Finally it turned out to be a build issue of the Ledger Bitcoin Chrome extension.
Ledger ledger wallet reddit gone updated the extension to be able to handle the Bitcoin-Segwit addresses, but that somehow disabled the Litecoin wallet. Hopefully this information is useful for anybody having the same issue and maybe in the near future we are able to find help at Steemit first and don't have to head over to reddit anymore. There are still some network issues with the ledger api, which makes it difficult to send funds from the Ledger-wallet receiving should work fine, but the information may not be updated instantly.
And I am not the only one. In the chome webstore I found following support request made about 2 hours ago:. My LTC are not in my Bitfinex wallet. As developer team can see on attached pictures I've sent them, there are "0 confirmations" several days later. I only want to have my LTC's back as soon as possible. I've sent many information about this Ledger Nano S problem system to the developers, and many screen captures; but I'm still waiting one week ago without any response.
Could you fix this, please? I myself reported the same issue to ledger support a few days back. I provided them with log files of the app which showed errors ledger wallet reddit gone their api. Today I also posted a support request in the Chrome webstore as I do not get any reply:. I have send LTC out on the All litecoins have disappeared from the balance, but ledger wallet reddit gone have arrived.
The transactions remain unconfirmed and the transaction hash cannot be traced on the blockchain. I read that other ledger wallet reddit gone have the same problem and I hope you can solve the problem soon so we can get control over out Ledger wallet reddit gone again.
I think this is really bad and I have suspended using the Ledger Nano S all together. And maybe I will stop using Hardware wallets all together.
Thanks for your comment. For me it was only a temporary problem which was solved very fast and I did not have any problems with the Ledger afterwards.

Gox and other exchanges, that ran away with the money ledger wallet reddit gone their coustomers should be reason enough to always have full control over your cryptos.
I know, you are absolut right its a risk I already split my coins on bitshares open ladger to decrese my risk a bit: Yes, besides bitshares and ledger, I also use exodus wallet, because it's able to store a bunch of different coins in ledger wallet reddit gone place on your computer.
I ledger wallet reddit gone really understand your fear, first time when I transferred ledger wallet reddit gone SBD to poloniex and they did not arrive there, my heart was about to come into my mouth.
I tried creating multiple tickets and they did not even care to reply them just some automated replies but soon after few ledger wallet reddit gone I saw these posts flooding on the steemit I felt really relaxed. At least when others are having the same issue, it gives me some confidence, that someone has to take care of it.
But it might be one of the biggest problems of crypto, that there are so many things that could go wrong and lead to loosing your coins. I had the problem not with the wallet, but my financial data on my drive. I knew how you feel Thank you very much.
