Transcript
- 0:00You, you can learn from my mistake.
- 0:01Don't think about security after something happens.
- 0:05Think about it before something happens.
- 0:07I thought that it would never happen to me and it did happen.
- 0:10And then I learned from a lot of other people, high level people,
- 0:13that it's happened to a lot of people.
- 0:15So think about security before it happens.
- 0:18I'm really a novice. I've only owned crypto for about
- 0:219 weeks now. Prior to that I'd never owned
- 0:24crypto. And that there's other people
- 0:25out there that are new to crypto or maybe new to hardware wallets
- 0:30that'll benefit from from from kind of walking through this
- 0:34with us. I will have a lot of questions.
- 0:35I'll warn you, Rami, wow, this is really a nice display.
- 0:39I have to say. It's the Ledger live app
- 0:41experience and the Flex experience are seamless, very
- 0:45intuitive. Oh my gosh.
- 0:51Hey, Ron, how are you doing? Nice to meet you.
- 0:54Nice to meet you, Rami. How are you today?
- 0:56All good here is in France, Paris and it's good to see you.
- 1:00Yeah, it's good to see you. I'm in.
- 1:02I'm in Saint Louis. You're in my basement.
- 1:04It's called Ron's Basement. And I'm also the founder and
- 1:08developer of the Solana based Unicorn fart desk meme coin.
- 1:13So great. Great to meet you.
- 1:14Great to see you I I really love your setting, it's really cute.
- 1:19Can you give me some small explanation about it or?
- 1:23Yeah, well, you know, I've been, I've been working in my basement
- 1:27creating content for years. back in December, I started a a meme
- 1:31coin called Unicorn Fart Dust. It was my first experience ever
- 1:36buying any type of cryptocurrency and and
- 1:40developing A cryptocurrency. And it's become wildly popular,
- 1:44and I've now become keenly aware of the fact that I need to learn
- 1:49about securing my cryptocurrency with hardware wallets.
- 1:53So that's why I'm reaching out to you today.
- 1:56That's amazing. Yeah.
- 1:57I also have seen a lot of news on this coin, of course.
- 2:01And of course, we're really happy to have you here.
- 2:03And welcome to Ledger's community, Ledger's environment,
- 2:08and you're in the right place. Yeah, Yeah.
- 2:11Well, you know, it's great for me to be partnering with Ledger.
- 2:15You know, it's, it's a big honor.
- 2:16It's something very important to me.
- 2:18You may know, I had a a hack experience a few weeks back.
- 2:23I was not using a hardware wallet.
- 2:25And one of the people there at Ledger sent me something that I
- 2:29thought was very pertinent to what what I'm going through
- 2:32right now. It said everyone thinks about
- 2:35security after something happens.
- 2:37So you and I are talking, but this is being recorded.
- 2:41So for our viewer, I'll tell them please, you, you can learn
- 2:45from my mistake. Don't think about security after
- 2:48something happens. Think about it before something
- 2:51happens. Because I thought you know that
- 2:54that that it would never happen to me.
- 2:56And it did happen. And then I learned from a lot of
- 2:58other people, high level people, that it's happened to a lot of
- 3:01people. So think about security before
- 3:04it happens. And, and I'm really lucky
- 3:07because Ledger actually sent me two devices.
- 3:10I have the the Ledger Stacks here and I also have the one
- 3:15that I think you and I are going to set up today, the Ledger Flex
- 3:18as well. Exactly.
- 3:20So did you have a look small like did you like the devices?
- 3:24How does it look so far? Well, you know, I, I didn't even
- 3:28take them out-of-the-box because I was, I was impressed.
- 3:31It looks like there's some security features built into the
- 3:34box and I didn't want to touch anything.
- 3:36I do have a new phone that I bought that I'm going to be
- 3:39using specifically for my crypto.
- 3:43That's all set up. I downloaded the Ledger live
- 3:47app. Hopefully that was the right
- 3:49first step to do but I'm I'm really a novice.
- 3:52Like I said, you know I've only owned crypto for about 9 weeks
- 3:56now prior to that I'd never owned crypto.
- 3:59So I'm, what I'm hoping here is that you can walk me through
- 4:02step by step what I need to do and that there's other people
- 4:06out there that are new to crypto or maybe new to hardware wallets
- 4:10that'll benefit from from from kind of walking through this
- 4:14with us. I will have a lot of questions.
- 4:16I'll warn you, Rami. That's great.
- 4:18I love questions and really happy to have the session with
- 4:22you. So if you want, we can jump in
- 4:24right in and see how it goes. Yep, that that sounds great.
- 4:28So I guess I should start by opening the box, correct?
- 4:31Definitely. OK, so there's AI have a little
- 4:35knife here. It looks like there's like a
- 4:37security feature here, right? I I stripped that off.
- 4:44That should be the strip for the ceiling of the box.
- 4:48Yeah, the ceiling, Yeah. And I want to mention too,
- 4:51because I had these devices shipped directly from Ledger, it
- 4:55felt like the box that they came in had some security features
- 4:58built into it. Also, it would have been very
- 5:01obvious had the box been open. That's true.
- 5:05So if you see the seal that's like ripped off or taken off,
- 5:09that you can definitely know, OK, something might have
- 5:11happened. But of course there are another
- 5:14security features like that will continue.
- 5:16So, you know, it's the number one checklist, but it's not
- 5:19really like super in danger even if it was ripped off.
- 5:23But still, it's good to know that we have it and we can take
- 5:27it off. And there you go.
- 5:30I can see everything is going smooth.
- 5:31Yeah. So this this is my new Ledger
- 5:34flex, correct? Yes.
- 5:37All right. I'll take the the screen
- 5:39protector off you tell me what I need to do here.
- 5:43But so I have the box opened and looks like there's a recovery
- 5:48sheet in here that we'll use later with the seat phrase.
- 5:53Is that correct? That's exactly what it is for.
- 5:57All right, so I'll set that over there.
- 5:59Hold on here and do you know what is it?
- 6:05Are these the directions in here?
- 6:07You can open it and we'll find out.
- 6:09All right, I again, I apologize, I'm a novice.
- 6:13OK, so this is the. Direction.
- 6:16Yeah. And then looks like there's
- 6:18something else here. A charging, A charging cable, I
- 6:22imagine. And if you want to connect it to
- 6:24your phone, like Android phone or to your computer, you can
- 6:28also connect it with your leisure Flex.
- 6:31So let's first turn it on. So looks like there's a button
- 6:36at the top there. All right.
- 6:39Yeah, it turned on. OK.
- 6:43It says Ledger, the most trusted security for your digital assets
- 6:47and then tap to continue, correct?
- 6:50OK, OK. It says your crypto and other
- 6:55digital assets are stored on the blockchain.
- 7:00To own and manage these assets, you need the private keys linked
- 7:04to them. Exactly.
- 7:07Wow, this is really a nice display I have to say.
- 7:10It's amazing. We we really had a lot of effort
- 7:13to make this display and it's like one of the thing I really
- 7:15love and it's really smooth. And then you can see everything
- 7:19like walk through. If you want to go back, of
- 7:22course to read through, you can go back anytime you want and you
- 7:26can tap to continue until we see the first step to go.
- 7:30Ledger Flex generates and protects your private keys and
- 7:35use Ledger Flex to securely review and sign your
- 7:39transactions. So my keys, as I understand it,
- 7:44I warned you I'd have a lot of questions will never be on the
- 7:48Internet. That's kind of the difference
- 7:50between a hardware wallet and a hot wallet, is that correct?
- 7:54That's very, very precise, yes. OK OK excellent to buy, send,
- 7:59swap and stake any crypto and manage your Ledger flex.
- 8:02Use the Ledger Live app which I have downloaded.
- 8:05You can download it from App Store or Play Store just in case
- 8:08your community want to know. OK, so it's on Android obviously
- 8:13and Apple, correct for best. OK, OK, so now I'm on this
- 8:17screen, looks like the beginning of the setup screen, so I should
- 8:23tap Ledger Live. We're going to do mobile, so
- 8:26I'll tap the use the Ledger Live mobile app.
- 8:29Perfect. OK now it wants me to scan it so
- 8:34I will do that. Do I scan it with my camera or
- 8:38with the Ledger live app? You should be able to scan it
- 8:43with your camera usually. OK, because I just what I did
- 8:48was I downloaded the app, but I didn't go through the process on
- 8:51the app of setting everything up.
- 8:53I thought we could do that during this as well.
- 8:55OK, all right, well, let me use my camera here.
- 8:59We, we make digital ownership secure and simple.
- 9:03Get started. OK, I will accept everything.
- 9:09All right. So now on the Ledger live app, I
- 9:11have a screen that says set up your Ledger, which is obviously
- 9:14what I want to do or act with your wallet.
- 9:17OK, and I'm going to select the Ledger flex.
- 9:23Wow, this is great. I really appreciate you doing
- 9:25this. This is this is actually a lot
- 9:26of fun. Allow Ledger live to find
- 9:30connect. OK, I'll allow that.
- 9:33I'm on a screen with the Bluetooth and it shows Ledger
- 9:36Flex FF88. Perfect can tap on it.
- 9:40OK, says it's pairing and that there's a number that showed up
- 9:45and I'm confirming that that's the same number on my Ledger
- 9:48Flex, which is on my phone. Oh, and I need to say that on
- 9:53the Flex too. OK, OK, so it says the Ledger
- 9:56Flex is paired. It says scan to open the Ledger
- 10:00live app and connect to the Flex is now telling me that it's
- 10:04doing a Ledger genuine check. Use the Ledger live app to
- 10:09confirm this Ledger Flex is genuine and up to date.
- 10:13All right, so I'm it's giving me that option on the app while
- 10:16this really works rather easily. Yep, and only the official and
- 10:22legitimate Ledger can actually confirm that signal that is sent
- 10:26from Ledger live. So that's another genuine check
- 10:29that we can go through. So you know no one tempers your
- 10:32Ledger and is safe to use. OK OK so now on the on the on
- 10:37the flex I'm allowing it to check so the the the Ledger flex
- 10:44which is where my keys are are stored only connects to the app
- 10:49via Bluetooth correct? You can also get connected with
- 10:53cables as we were talking before, but not on iPhone but on
- 10:57Android yes. OK.
- 11:01OK. We're going through an update
- 11:02here. I apologize may take a second.
- 11:04No worries. It's also great that we always
- 11:06have to have the firmware updated.
- 11:08So it's, it's great we're doing it.
- 11:11Yes, OK, Yep, it's loading an update now onto the actual Flex
- 11:15device. Now as I go through this process
- 11:20then with the Ledger Live app, I'll actually be creating a
- 11:25wallet on Ledger Live. Is that is that correct as well?
- 11:28So Ledger Live itself is a software wallet like software
- 11:32like wallet. But what we're going to do is to
- 11:35connect it and then generate your private keys from your
- 11:39Ledger device. And then you will be able to
- 11:42create an account for each crypto that you would like to
- 11:45secure on the interface. So let your light app itself as
- 11:49an interface. Got you.
- 11:52And when you and again I apologize, I'm new to all this.
- 11:55When you say different crypto, do you mean like the different
- 11:57like the Solana blockchain? Exactly.
- 12:00Solana Ethereum. Ethereum.
- 12:03OK, OK. Thank you.
- 12:05OK, we're almost there. We're about 3/4 of the way
- 12:08through the up the, the, the update here.
- 12:11And then, you know, I, I'm very focused on Unicorn fart dust,
- 12:16which is a Solana based meme coin, the one that I created.
- 12:20It's my understanding also that I'll be able to obviously store
- 12:23that on on my on the Ledger Live app and secure it with the
- 12:28hardware wallet through the Flex as well, correct?
- 12:31So as you might already know, like including UFD, of course
- 12:35all the crypto assets itself exist on the blockchain.
- 12:38So what we're going to store is the private keys that is going
- 12:42to allow you to access to those assets on the blockchain, so.
- 12:47Got you. But so so the the the the
- 12:50Unicorn fart dust exists and is stored on the blockchain.
- 12:55I'll be able to to conduct transactions with it through the
- 13:00Ledger Live app, but the keys and the approval process is
- 13:04stored separately in the hardware wallet on the Ledger
- 13:09Flex. Is that is that accurate?
- 13:11Exactly. So the keys are going to be
- 13:12generated and then stored on your Ledger device completely
- 13:16offline because it's going to only happen on your hardware
- 13:18wallet and it will going to send a signal to sign the
- 13:22transactions when you want to make the transaction in the
- 13:24blockchain. Gotcha.
- 13:28So the the the approval process comes from this from the flex
- 13:33to. Exactly.
- 13:34Gotcha. OK.
- 13:36The the new software is loading right now, so we're almost
- 13:41through there, OK. Just curiosity, is there a
- 13:44reason you you chose like Unicorn for the token?
- 13:48Well, prior to getting into crypto for three years I was a
- 13:54gold and silver. I ran a a niche channel in gold
- 13:59and silver and before, before I became, I guess you would say,
- 14:05enlightened about crypto, there were times when I would refer to
- 14:09cryptocurrency as Unicorn fart dust.
- 14:11So that's where the that's where the name comes from.
- 14:14That is a real meme. Yes.
- 14:18And then shortly after I created the crypto, which was really an
- 14:22experiment back on December 16th, I went through a rather
- 14:27transformative experience very quickly when I realized that the
- 14:31community and where the real value is in crypto.
- 14:33So now, now I say that Unicorn fart does really is crypto.
- 14:37So it's it's I'm I'm a changed man.
- 14:41Once I learned about cryptocurrency, that's.
- 14:44Really. OK.
- 14:46Now I'm on the screen, looks like everything's updated.
- 14:50Yep, in the why the app does a great job also it says it says
- 14:58the Ledger Flex OS operating system is now up to date.
- 15:01So I pressed finish OK and now it wants to check the Ledger
- 15:08Flex for Jen to be genuine again and allow secure connection.
- 15:15I'll allow Ledgerflex is genuine, Ledgerflex OS is up to
- 15:23date. So we we are genuine and we are
- 15:25up to date and I. I.
- 15:28I I want to compliment your, your company on this app.
- 15:33It really is quite simple and very, very, you know, does a
- 15:40great job of walking, walking me through everything that I need
- 15:43to do It's. Very intuitive.
- 15:45Yeah, I love it. OK, so I'm on the app.
- 15:48I'm going to press continue to set up.
- 15:53OK, this says set up Ledger Flex FF88.
- 15:57It's genuine. OK, to start things off, give
- 16:00your Ledger Flex a unique name. So I will give it a name.
- 16:07OK, I gave it a name and tap to continue.
- 16:12OK, now I need to enter a PIN. You, you have to choose like 4
- 16:18to 8 numbers pin and we usually say like having 8 pin is of
- 16:23course most secure because you know, I, I would not not say we
- 16:27should do like 0000 of course. Right, right.
- 16:30So and I will, I will do that now and obviously not share that
- 16:35with the audience. We'll we'll OK.
- 16:42So the pen is set and now I tap to continue.
- 16:48Now it says next choose how you'd like to set up this Ledger
- 16:52Flex. So I'm going to set it up as a
- 16:58new Ledger exactly. Yeah.
- 17:00OK. All right, let's do it.
- 17:04So just talking about PIN, while you know you're, you're setting
- 17:07up your PIN, it's really good to have 8 digit, which is the going
- 17:12to the maximum of the PIN. Because what's going to happen
- 17:15is that you're going to have the private keys loaded and
- 17:17generated on your letter device, which is not going to be your
- 17:20choice, but it's going to be given from the device.
- 17:23But what you can choose is the PIN code and it will let you
- 17:27unlock your device. So whoever has your PIN code and
- 17:31your physical device and unlock it can actually make
- 17:35transactions. So you know it it it is
- 17:37important to have it secure. Not with your birthday for
- 17:41instance. Or a very very easy numbers to
- 17:44guess. That makes that makes sense and
- 17:47I was sure to use an 8 digit number that didn't really relate
- 17:52to anything that may be on public record like my birthday
- 17:55or anything along those lines. That's great.
- 17:58So like more private memories stuff.
- 18:00That's that's amazing. Yes, yeah, it's top.
- 18:03It's top, top secret. Great, great.
- 18:06So I wouldn't ask. Yeah, yeah.
- 18:10No, that that I appreciate you telling me that because you
- 18:13know, I know you have specific insight into and I'll ask you
- 18:18more later as well any other recommendations you may have
- 18:21when it comes to, you know, crypto security, just good, good
- 18:25best practices that that I may want to, you know, keep keep in
- 18:30mind with this now I'm at a screen where it says it would
- 18:33like to generate your secret, my secret recovery phrase, which is
- 18:38the foundation of the wallet security.
- 18:41So I'll go ahead and tap tap the content continue key.
- 18:45OK, It's a sequence of 24 words which cannot be changed or
- 18:51chosen exactly if you're if it's and if it says If my Ledger is
- 18:55ever stolen, broke and lost, these 24 words are the only way
- 18:59that I can recover the wallet. Anyone who knows my secret
- 19:07recovery phase phrase can steal my assets forever.
- 19:13This is like the most important parts when it comes to Ledger
- 19:16technology. So you should never ever share
- 19:19your 24 word with anyone. I would not even share it with
- 19:23my mom. You know, it's it's total top
- 19:25secret. It's total, total top secret.
- 19:28And I can say, and I'm and I'm, I'm sure you'll agree with this,
- 19:33don't put it in a spreadsheet and don't take pictures of it
- 19:37with your mobile phone, correct? Exactly.
- 19:40Don't make any, any digital copies, like Oh yeah, I just
- 19:44took photo with my phone. No, don't do that.
- 19:46Because for instance, what happens if your phone is lost or
- 19:49someone steal your phone? It's not going to end up pretty.
- 19:53So we don't do that. OK, OK, so I have this orange
- 19:56sheet that came with the Ledger Flex.
- 19:59There's 24 blank spaces on it at this point, I imagine.
- 20:08It tells, it tells me right here, don't take a picture of it
- 20:11and don't store it on your mobile phone or your computer.
- 20:14I can vouch from personal experience that you do not want
- 20:17to do that. So OK, so I say I understand.
- 20:22Can you show the recovery sheet for a second one to the to the
- 20:26public just just so that I would know.
- 20:27Thank you. Yeah, that's.
- 20:31How it should look and that came in the box.
- 20:35There's actually a couple copies of that.
- 20:38So at this point I'll be generating the recovery phrase
- 20:41and then I'll need to write it down correct?
- 20:43Exactly. So we would need a pen.
- 20:46Yes, yes, I'll have, I have a pen here.
- 20:51OK. So I will tap to continue.
- 20:54All right. And I'm obviously going to keep
- 20:56that off camera and it's going to take me a minute to write
- 20:59this down South. I'll be.
- 21:02I'll be right back. Yeah, I will not bother you as
- 21:05it's really important to write every word correctly and no one
- 21:09can know, so I will wait you here.
- 21:12OK. Thank you.
- 21:14No. Worries.
- 21:17I appreciate you helping me with this Rami.
- 21:20I really love it. It's it's also really
- 21:22interesting to see how you want to join Ledger ecosystem.
- 21:26And I think it's really a right choice, not because I work for
- 21:29Ledger, but you know. No, I think I'm, I'm, I'm
- 21:34fascinated by this idea of of hardware wallets, especially
- 21:39like I said earlier, it's better to do this before something
- 21:44happens than after like I am OK, I have all 24 words written
- 21:51down, so I will press done on my Ledger Flex.
- 21:56It says let's confirm that all 24 words are written correctly.
- 21:59So I'll start confirmation. OK, Oh, this is really cool.
- 22:04OK, so it's going to quiz me now select word #1.
- 22:10Obviously, I'm not going to say these words word #2 but if I
- 22:18were to say the words I'd say I'd, I wouldn't say the real
- 22:21word #3 OK, so just so the viewers know what it's doing now
- 22:26is it's going through each number word and giving me a
- 22:30multiple choice quiz to make sure that I wrote it down
- 22:33correctly. I really like that.
- 22:35That is, that is great. As it's going to be the 1st and
- 22:40the last time it's going to be shown this set of recovery
- 22:43phrase, we don't let users to just like yellow, you know, we
- 22:46we will check you of course if everything is written down
- 22:49correctly. And the screen is very
- 22:51responsive and very clear. I like it a lot.
- 22:56OK, it's confirmed success. Amazing you passed the test.
- 23:04I'm hiding that. OK.
- 23:06All right. Now it says tap to continue.
- 23:11OK. Your secret recovery phrase.
- 23:13Recovery phrase is for your eyes only.
- 23:16My eyes only. OK.
- 23:19Don't share it. Don't lose it.
- 23:25Now you're in control. All right?
- 23:28I'm in control. Ronnie.
- 23:29Thank you. Congratulations.
- 23:32Yeah, excellent. OK, It says continue setting up
- 23:39using the Ledger Live app. OK, all right.
- 23:43Now it says Ledger Flex uses apps to enable secure blockchain
- 23:48transactions. We recommend downloading a
- 23:50default set of apps so that you can and you can download more
- 23:54later. All right, all right, so I'm
- 23:56going to install those apps looks like it's doing Bitcoin
- 24:00and Ethereum. I'm a novice so but I feel very
- 24:06comfortable with both the app and the flex device and how they
- 24:11communicate with one another and everything.
- 24:13Everything so far has been just like very clear and easy to
- 24:17understand. So it's been great.
- 24:20OK. Bitcoin is set up, it's working
- 24:23on Ethereum now. And then you said we'll be able
- 24:25to download Solana as well, correct?
- 24:28Of course. Are there any other basic, you
- 24:32know, crypto related security best practices?
- 24:37Let me ask you this while this is downloading, I, I can carry
- 24:42this around with me if I think I'm going to be needing to do a
- 24:46crypto transaction. But if I'm not, if I'm not, you
- 24:49know, planning on doing transactions on a regular basis,
- 24:54it's best obviously to keep this in a very safe, secure place.
- 24:58Yes, of course. But at the same time, we always
- 25:01ask users to have it firmware updated or also turn it on and
- 25:05off regularly because in the end it's a hardware wallet, it's a
- 25:09electronic device, right? So it needs some exercise itself
- 25:13too. Otherwise it's going to just
- 25:15sleep there. And then, for instance, the
- 25:17battery will have issues, for instance.
- 25:21So we actually recommend people to regularly use it, or at least
- 25:25have it breathe some air. Yeah.
- 25:29So maybe if you're not, if I'm if someone's not going to be
- 25:32using it in doing a lot of transactions, just make sure
- 25:36every couple weeks, every month that you turn it on, make sure
- 25:38that it's charged and like anything you need to, you need
- 25:43to use it. OK, it says it says on the app,
- 25:46it says next use your Ledger Flex to transfer your assets to
- 25:51Ledger by crypto, customize the lock screen or subscribe to
- 25:56Ledger recover. All right, so now I'm on the
- 26:01main screen. I'll allow notifications and did
- 26:08you want to maybe show me how to download the the Solana of app
- 26:13to the to the flex? Absolutely.
- 26:16So we have to go to the My Ledger tab to download apps.
- 26:20Do you see it, Ron? OK.
- 26:22On your Ledger Live app? Yes, I do perfect.
- 26:24I see that correct. Can we head there?
- 26:26And then you would have to select your device.
- 26:29Got it. It says tap to connect.
- 26:32Exactly. And now it's a unlock your
- 26:36device. This is where we have the PIN.
- 26:39You can now unlock your device with the 8 digit pin that you
- 26:42had on the first step. It's still on the main screen on
- 26:45the Ledger Flex. Do I need to press the button on
- 26:47the side? There we go.
- 26:49OK, great. All right, so now I see Bitcoin
- 26:53and Ethereum and I see an option to add an app on the actual
- 26:58Ledger Flex. Should I press add an app?
- 27:00Yeah, please it. Says scan or go to my Ledger all
- 27:05right. That's where we go to my Ledger.
- 27:09OK, do I scan with the camera on my phone correct?
- 27:13You can also just go to the my Ledger tab because you already
- 27:16have Ledger live. I think it's going to be fine.
- 27:19So I scanned it and then I'm connecting OK and now it says
- 27:28I'm on a screen that says my blockchain apps.
- 27:32Is this where I need to so I see Solana and press the plus sign I
- 27:37imagine? Exactly.
- 27:40And it's installing now on my Ledger Flex that's.
- 27:43Great, now we have Solana app installed.
- 27:47The the the. This is going very smoothly
- 27:50Rami, I appreciate your help. No, it's really great.
- 27:54I mean everything is very easy to understand and and feels very
- 28:01secure to me, so this is great it's successfully installed.
- 28:07That's great. So I'll go to go to accounts.
- 28:11So now I have Solana on here and I would be able to transfer or
- 28:18swap, not swap. I guess transfers at the right
- 28:20term like my UFD coins from just another one.
- 28:27We have to create the account. We have to create the Solana
- 28:30account. Oh OK.
- 28:32Oh right, so I need a wallet address.
- 28:34Correct exactly. Now we download the app so we
- 28:37can make an account. OK, well I'll, I'll follow your
- 28:42lead. Tell me what I need to do.
- 28:44So you can you can go press on the main dashboard button on
- 28:49your Ledger live. OK.
- 28:52And then you'll be able to see send or receive.
- 28:57Do you see? That I do like the the arrows in
- 28:59the middle there. Yeah.
- 29:02OK, got it. Do you see receive also?
- 29:05Yes, receive crypto from another wallet.
- 29:08Exactly, if you click on it, what would happen?
- 29:12Now it it says choose a crypto you want to receive.
- 29:17So we can add Solana. You can say Solana.
- 29:21Solana says it. Now it says that my device is
- 29:27locked. So I need to unlock my Ledger
- 29:30Flex, correct? It's unlocked and I'll say
- 29:33retry. OK.
- 29:36It says open this open the Solana app on your device.
- 29:41Exactly. I pressed open OK, it says this
- 29:46app enables signing transactions on the Solana network.
- 29:51Now it's checking to see if I already have an account for
- 29:54Solana on the blockchain, which I don't, right?
- 29:57So it's going to. Realize that here, I imagine.
- 29:59Not yet under this recovery phrase, but.
- 30:03There's no accounts found. Creating a new account for
- 30:06Solana OK. There we go.
- 30:09OK, so Rami, now there's a screen that says I need to
- 30:12verify my address. So this is creating my Solana
- 30:17wallet address for me. Is that correct?
- 30:20Yes. So we're going to create a
- 30:21Solana account and what we're doing is to compare the address
- 30:26that we're going to see on the Ledger Flex device itself and
- 30:29what we are seeing on the Ledger Live app.
- 30:33Ah, OK, so I'm going to verify my address and my device is
- 30:39locked, which is a good thing. OK, I'm going to retry.
- 30:47OK, verify. OK, swipe to continue.
- 30:53OK. So there's an address and I want
- 30:55to make sure that obviously the address that's showing up on my
- 30:58Flex is the same as what's showing up on the Ledger Live
- 31:02app, correct? OK.
- 31:05So what we are seeing on the Ledger physical device is what
- 31:08we're going to believe as the ultimate truth.
- 31:10So if it by any chance does not match, we will not accept this
- 31:16address. Got you.
- 31:19OK, so should I read through every letter?
- 31:22Definitely. OK, so I can confirm that.
- 31:27Does everything match? Yes, everything match.
- 31:30Great. OK, so now I have I'm very
- 31:36excited. Now I have my Solana wallet
- 31:39address which is mine correct? Yes.
- 31:42So now you have first Ledger Solana account of your own that
- 31:46you only have access to and you only own the private keys of
- 31:51that account, which is great. Gotcha.
- 31:53Got you. But let me ask you a question.
- 31:56It's OK with me to share this address with if somebody says
- 32:00wants to send me some Solana or send me a a meme coin that's
- 32:05based on Solana, I can give them this address.
- 32:09Is that is that acceptable? Yeah, definitely.
- 32:13So this account address works like your e-mail address, so you
- 32:17can share it to anyone else who wants to give you UFD or Solana
- 32:23any any meme coin based on Solana.
- 32:26Any, anything based any meme coin based on Solana or Solana
- 32:31itself, right? Exactly.
- 32:34OK, OK, excellent. That makes sense.
- 32:37So I'm going to copy it just for fun, because it's like an e-mail
- 32:43address. It's not, I don't have to keep
- 32:44it. It's it's actually will become,
- 32:47I guess because I'm the developer of Unicorn Fart Dust,
- 32:51it'll become pretty well known because people will want to
- 32:54follow it and see what I'm doing right?
- 32:57Sure, they will be able to search your address on the
- 33:00blockchain explorer also and then see all the transactions
- 33:03related to it so. OK, got it.
- 33:07Oops, I think I hit verify address again.
- 33:10We already did that. So OK, wow, hold on one second.
- 33:17Here we go. OK, I just emailed it to myself,
- 33:20my Solana address. I'm very excited.
- 33:22Yay. Thank you Ronnie.
- 33:24It's. My pleasure.
- 33:27Thank you. Now let me ask you a question
- 33:30regarding the Flex device. I'm I'm going to make sure I
- 33:33understand this. So my, the keys, the keys to my
- 33:38Solana address for any transactions that would occur
- 33:42are, are stored on my Flex device, which is independent
- 33:47from the Internet and connects. It's a, it's basically just like
- 33:52an approval process. So if I were to, let's say,
- 33:57let's say I had something in that wallet that we just set up
- 34:00for myself and I wanted to sell something, I could, I could
- 34:06enter that data on Ledger Live or I would enter that
- 34:10transaction on Ledger Live. But the ultimate approval then
- 34:14comes from the cold wallet comes from the the the Ledger Flex
- 34:19device where I would have to enter the pen and approve any
- 34:23transactions, correct? Exactly, exactly.
- 34:25That's very correct. OK.
- 34:28OK, excellent. Thank you.
- 34:31What did I forget? Is there anything else fun we
- 34:33can do with the with the Ledger, the Ledger Flex?
- 34:36Yeah, I mean we can also change and personalize the lock screen,
- 34:42OK? So if you want we can change it
- 34:44to the UFD image or NFD if you have.
- 34:49Yeah, yeah. I don't.
- 34:51I don't have an NFT, but I could probably get an image that we
- 34:58could put on there. Definitely.
- 35:00So on your Ledger device you can go to the settings.
- 35:04OK. So I should do that on the
- 35:06Ledger Live you said? No, you can.
- 35:10Also. You can do it on both, but you
- 35:12can do it on Ledger Live too. OK.
- 35:15And can I do this through the Ledger Live app?
- 35:18Is that correct? You should be able to do on the
- 35:21Ledger device. On the device itself.
- 35:24OK, so I'll, I should, I'll wake up my device with my pen, Yeah.
- 35:30Unlock it again. Unlock it.
- 35:35I like the way that the screen on the Ledger flex when I have
- 35:39to put my pen in randomizes where the numbers are on the
- 35:43screen. It's also for security.
- 35:45I imagine that's the security feature, right?
- 35:48OK, OK, so I've unlocked the Ledger Flex.
- 35:53So you can go to the settings by clicking on the wrench icon that
- 35:57you should see on the top right I think.
- 36:01Yep, I got it. Yep.
- 36:03There we should be lock. Screen.
- 36:05Yep, exactly. Customized lock screen?
- 36:09Yep. You see so intuitive like you
- 36:11don't even need me, but I'm here to encourage you.
- 36:16I was just going to say, you know it.
- 36:18I mean, it really is intuitive. I'm genuinely will say so now
- 36:22there's a a scam. It says scan to open the Ledger
- 36:27live app. Oh, OK, excellent.
- 36:30Yeah, this is this is really it is very intuitive.
- 36:38Everything I mean, it's AII will say the the app, the Ledger live
- 36:44app experience and the flex experience are seamless.
- 36:49It feels like and very intuitive, very intuitive.
- 36:54OK, Oh cool. It says choose a picture.
- 36:58Choose from my gallery. There's the picture I want.
- 37:01Let's see if this one works. OK.
- 37:04Ledger Flex. Choose Ledger Flex.
- 37:09Oh my gosh, this isn't really impressive.
- 37:13Set as lock screen. OK, I should be done.
- 37:20And let me see if that worked. Can you show us how it's going
- 37:24on? We're really curious what
- 37:27picture you chose and how to process.
- 37:29That yeah let me let me make sure I need to re enter my pen
- 37:34code. You need to re enter my yeah,
- 37:38maybe I did something wrong customize lock screen picture.
- 37:42Let me do this again. So it's it has one of those
- 37:46codes that I need to scan all right choose a picture.
- 37:53I think I forgot to do something here from my gallery.
- 37:56There's the picture for the Ledger Flex and then I say set
- 38:01as lock screen. OK, Maybe.
- 38:09OK, that's what I did. OK.
- 38:12I forgot to select which Ledger device that I wanted to put it
- 38:15on. My fault my.
- 38:16Fault. Load lock screen OK Load
- 38:20picture. Wow.
- 38:24Can you show us how it's going on?
- 38:26Yeah. So, yes, well, this is what was
- 38:30going on on my on the Ledger Live app.
- 38:35I had to connect the device and it it downloaded the picture and
- 38:40now it's giving me this and it's that's great.
- 38:45And I yeah. And I need to say keep OK lock
- 38:53screen picture set. This picture will be displayed
- 38:56with your Ledger Flex locked or powered off.
- 38:59OK, tap to dismiss. So I'm going to power off.
- 39:04Oh wow. OK, there it is.
- 39:07I'm powered off that. Looks so great, I love.
- 39:10It and for all and for all of our viewers watching, I mean,
- 39:13literally we just walked through that whole process.
- 39:16I, I downloaded the picture, moved it to the, the phone where
- 39:20the Ledger live app is located. And now it's my understanding
- 39:25that this screen when it's in this mode is actually not using
- 39:29any power. Is that is that accurate?
- 39:32It's a what's it called, a live ink or or something along those
- 39:35lines. The E Ink.
- 39:38EE ink, OK. EE Ink.
- 39:40Wow. That is, that is really cool.
- 39:43I mean, this, this, this, I'll show one more time.
- 39:46That is really cool. It's really nice.
- 39:49It looks really amusing and if you have NFT on it, of course,
- 39:53you can also load your NFT. So a lot of NFT lovers out
- 39:57there, they love this feature. I really love it too.
- 40:01It's it's really cool. So, and let me ask you, look,
- 40:05I'm new to crypto, you know that and I know that there are a
- 40:09number of NFT projects that are based on Solana that it popped
- 40:14up around Unicorn fart dust. Can you store NFT?
- 40:18Well, yeah, I guess you're not. The NFTS are stored on the
- 40:21blockchain as well, correct? So, so I thought, right, I
- 40:25learned that. Thank you.
- 40:26Thank you, Rami. But you can secure them with
- 40:31your Ledger. Is that accurate an accurate
- 40:33statement? So you can have it on your
- 40:36Ledger Solana account, which is of course going to be on the
- 40:39blockchain, but you're going to be able to of course, access it
- 40:43by your Ledger private keys. So yes, indeed.
- 40:47So if you ever wanted to sell it or transact somehow with it, it
- 40:52would be your your, your, your hardware, your Ledger Flex.
- 40:56My Ledger Flex hardware wallet would be the ultimate keys to to
- 41:01approve any transaction with the NFT that would be occurring on
- 41:05the blockchain. Exactly.
- 41:08OK, OK, excellent, excellent. What did I forget to ask you
- 41:12today? Rami, you've been a great help.
- 41:14This is really awesome. I'm, I feel like now moving
- 41:20forward much more secure with my crypto, but also that I had, you
- 41:25know, I understood that I needed to have better crypto security
- 41:31before I came into this meeting with you.
- 41:33But now I feel like I actually have a little, you know, a
- 41:36higher level of understanding about how this works.
- 41:40And you know, yeah, sure, my my, my crypto, my Unicorn fart dust,
- 41:45my NF TS will live on the blockchain.
- 41:49But the ultimate key to be able to do any transaction or to
- 41:54approve any transaction will exist on the Ledgerflex hardware
- 41:59wallet, which I ultimately control in which in which isn't
- 42:04connected to the Internet. So unless I have that wrong,
- 42:11it's very, I appreciate the education that you gave me today
- 42:15and this higher level of security.
- 42:16It's really great. Anytime, Ron, as you as you just
- 42:20like beautifully explained. That's why it's so important to
- 42:23have hardware wallets like Ledger because it's going to
- 42:27help you to generate those private keys to secure your
- 42:31cryptos on the blockchain. And then it's only you who's
- 42:35going to have the control. So as we say, not your coin if
- 42:38it's not your control, right? So it's it's, it's the best way
- 42:42to have and secure it. Even if you get hacked in the
- 42:46online environment like Internet, I don't know, like
- 42:50you, you lose your laptop for instance, it's not going to hurt
- 42:54your cryptos in any sense because it doesn't matter.
- 42:58Your private keys are always going to stay on your hardware
- 43:00wallet. They're yours, yes, yes, very,
- 43:04very interesting. I want to mention to the viewers
- 43:06as well, I do have an affiliate link with Ledger if they're
- 43:11interested in getting one of the devices for themselves.
- 43:13Today we went through the Ledger Flex, but there's also the
- 43:18Ledger Stacks as well. I can show that there if you
- 43:23have a second is there is what? What would be the difference,
- 43:28just out of curiosity, between the Ledger Flex and the Ledger
- 43:31Stacks? So they both can be used with
- 43:34Bluetooth and they have the ink all sale stacks one.
- 43:38But I would say stacks is more like high end.
- 43:42It comes with more high end experience while flex is more
- 43:47daily use, at least for me. And yeah, both, both are great
- 43:51products. Both are great products and in
- 43:54front in terms of what they accomplish with from a hardware
- 43:57wallet perspective, they're they're both essentially doing
- 44:01doing the same thing in terms of keeping your your keys off off
- 44:06the Internet. Generating your keys and.
- 44:10Keeping them yeah and, and I and I want to repeat one more time
- 44:13to our viewers out there. Obviously, most people know I
- 44:16had a, a rather before I moved crypto to to a hardware wallet,
- 44:25had a, a hack, I guess there's no other way to say it, and lost
- 44:27a substantial amount of of crypto during that situation.
- 44:32It was a very public event. I think everybody knows about
- 44:35it. I want to repeat, you know,
- 44:37everybody, including me, thinks about security after something
- 44:43happens. Please learn from me, right?
- 44:46Think about security before something happens because when
- 44:50you hear people talk about, you know, these unfortunate
- 44:53circumstances, I can vouch for you.
- 44:55I'll be the, you know, the, the, the bad are, are the example.
- 44:59These things do happen. So think about security before
- 45:03something happens. Definitely, definitely thanks
- 45:07Ron, for today. Like it was really a pleasure
- 45:09for me to be part of this and really nice to meet your
- 45:13community also out there and can't wait to have something
- 45:16else with you very soon. And congratulations once again
- 45:20with your token. I look forward to seeing your
- 45:24community with us more and more and hear you soon.
- 45:29Yeah, well, thank you, Romney, on behalf of of my community,
- 45:33thank you also because a lot of the people who are buying
- 45:35Unicorn fart dust are like me, first time crypto.
- 45:39That's their first experience with crypto.
- 45:41And I can't reiterate enough how important it is to consider
- 45:45security up front. And you did a great job today.
- 45:50This app experience with Ledger Live was in my opinion, like I
- 45:54said, first class seamless. The Ledger Flex as I look at it
- 45:59here with with the little, the little Unicorn on there with the
- 46:02E Ink is really awesome. And hey, you never know, I may
- 46:07see you sometime in Paris or you may be in Saint Louis.
- 46:10You can come visit us here in the basement.
- 46:12Definitely. OK.
- 46:14Thank you. Bye Ron.
- 46:16Bye community. Bye bye.
