These Ledger Nano sold on Lazada Thailand are from the official importer of the company. I have bought one from them and I can assure you, that the original pack the received from France has not been opened. I do understand your concern, it's nice to caution prospective buyers, but here there is no problem.

 

Thanks for your info...What happens in the event that this device stops working...Suppose you set everything up and it is working OK...Two months later you plug it in and nothing happens...What is your next step ??   Thanks

I am sure you can buy a new wallet and restore everything with your phrase ( not 100% sure though ).

I am wondering, can these devices hold any and every cyrpto you have? Even lesser known ones?

I reset my wallet when I got it. 

 

I got another new 24 words.

 

I can save all my coins - KNC, ELT, XLM, OMG, XZC, some have to be done using myetherwallet.

Thanks...I think that different wallets hold different coins...I don't know if one wallet can hold all the coins that trade on the bx.th site ???

No, no single wallet supports every coin on bx.in.th and I would personally be careful of wallets that support a lot because the attack vector is much larger

Bx.in.th only trades in Bitcoin, Etherium and Dash as far as I know. What other coins are available?

Can I buy any crypto on bx or is it only a bitcoin exchange?

Yes, you can buy several different crypto on bx.

There are over 1000 different cryptos and bx has maybe ( I am guessing here now ) 15 different kinds available.

I'm very happy with BX. No complaints. Deposits come in fast if you do it the way I do it, even on Saturdays, Sundays or any public holiday. There is always somebody ready to help if you made a mistake somewhere or you just need assistance. The only withdrawal so far I made went  into my bank account within minutes. For me it was only a test as I always reinvest my profits again.

I tried getting an account with bx today.  I did the two ID photos, all that stuff....  then got a message on their site that they don't accept Americans.  What's up with that?

There is not always someone to help.  I sent a query 2 hours ago to their 'support'.  Only a form response that they received the inquiry, .....no response from a person.

Thus far, they've been unprofessional.  I'm looking for another exchange.  Am open to suggestions, thanks.

I've done online businesses since the inception of the internet.  When people have q's, I respond a.s.a.p.

My ISP (Fatcow) responds within seconds.  Same for Amazon, Ebay and other large sites.  I've come to expect Thai businesses to either not respond, or respond unclearly with long delays.   So, am not surprised that BX is asleep at the wheel, if it's run by Thais.

BX should have a large notification on their index page:

WE DO NOT ACCEPT AMERICANS 

That would save a lot of time/calories for Americans who aren't informed at the time (like me) ...who go through the process of setting up an account, only to be informed at a later stage. 

 

There are ways to program that within the online application form (when an applicant puts a name in the 'country' box).  I'm not web-savvy, but I did such things 15 years ago on my websites.  Perhaps BX should hire a webmaster for 50 baht/hr.

 

another note:  I tried signing up with GDAX, based in NYC, but they won't accept applications from any countries in Asia, ...except Singapore.    

 

Oh, the joys of the digital jungle.

I hope you don't work at a hospital.  Patients would come in the door with ailments, and you'd crack up with peals of laughter at each person.

Who is BX run by? My biscuit is still burned by the news (I found out this morning) that they don't allow Americans to get accounts.  

 

I checked out coins.co.th   They apparently want new customers to deposit money into a bank account in Cadiz Spain - in order to get the ball rolling.  That gives me pause.  Another exchange wants credit card payments which, along with other fees, amounts to around 12% in fees, just to get in the game.  They say they don't keep c.card data, but how much can you trust online whiz kids with no faces, who may be thousands of miles away?  ....or the ubiquitous hackers who hover everywhere (particularly where there's the most valuation) like flies around a hippo corpse.

 

I spent about 3 hours today checking options (for getting in to the digital currency), and I'm disappointed.  The whole kitcumboodle of digital (or crypto-) coin was designed (partly) to make transactions easier and divorced from corporate banks.  It seems crafted to do the opposite. 

 

It's shaping up like a pyramid scheme, where the top 5% (those who got in earliest) get the most lucre.   It would be the top 10%, but half of early birds lost their initial investment (Mt.Gox, etc.).  5% of that top 5% have really big value, but the whole time, zero product has been produced, unless you count the people selling digital plastic wallets.   Not one piece of wood to build a table, nor one carton of milk to feed a hungry kid.  .....just group-think value based on something of no substance.  At least during the Dutch tulip bubble, some people got some tulip bulbs.   

 

.....as much substance as cigarette smoke.

How does  that 'table building'  or "milk selling"  help you in any way...Almost everyone wants to make money and IF  you can do it here it it certainly as good as the controlled and manipulated gold/stock markets...As with ALL market,  for the small investor it is ALL  about Luck and timing...Really good timing is just another word for being lucky...Good luck to all....

As far as that,  the Smithsonian has a recent article saying that the tulip bulb story is just a story and after much careful checking they found NO one who went bankrupt due to it...Google it if you want to read it...

Way off topic as we are talking about investment and cyber currencies....It's funny that you only start saying how this is all a fraud/scheme  AFTER  you are having trouble making a trading account.  If you REALLY believe that this is a fools game then Why you have spent so much time trying to get into this fools game ??

You're right.  I'm playing both sides of the street.  

I want to get in the game, yet I'm dissing the product nebulous currency.

 

It's rather like going to Reno to gamble, while concurrently telling people that gambling is bad.

 

BTW, if were to go to a casino (which I won't, 'cause it's not my thing), I would only go with as much cash as I could comfortably afford to lose.  I recommend the same for Bitcoin and related crypto things.  Only invest as much as you're able to lose, because the bubble could burst any time.

 

I've got a buddy up here in northern Thailand who can't locate 160 Bitcoin he secured from Mt.Gox in 2013.   He also spent 15 bitcoin on a 'mining machine' from Switzerland which never arrived.  The Swiss company took his payment but, ....surprise!,  nothing came of it.   If anyone can assist in the British guy getting his account functioning, please contact me.  P.s. some of his Mt.Gox stash got transferred to Lake BTC in France.  It appears Lake BTC is also a bottomless money drain pit like Mt.Gox.  I'll be glad if anyone can prove me wrong.

 

In a nutshell, the 3 ways which my Brit friend got involved with Bitcoin were all strike-outs.  3 strikes, he's out!    Someone got the real money he invested, and they're long gone.  Lucky for them.

[boomerangutang]

Bitcoin and other cyber currency have lots of security for the short term, but the people managing the exchanges are not reliable.  If there's even a hint of things going bad, they're running out the doors with as much lucre as they can carry.  In this cyber world, a minute is like a month.  Similarly, the security you think is air-tight today, could be as solid as a sheet of wet tissue paper tomorrow.

 

Mt.Gox was the Chernobyl of exchanges.  When will Fukushima hit?  How quick will investors be able to change their cyber currency back into dollars?  Hours?  Days?  Months?  Never?
