SIAMBC is a ledger reseller. You can see them on Ledger's web sit: https://www.ledger.com/reseller

 

So you can get one tomorrow if you are in Bangkok

I purchased one of mine from the Ledger website and I purchased my second one from Lazada. Had no issues at all.

lazada, wallet works like a charm

I think it is more important to choose the right wallet than where to buy it, that will present itself

that's a lot of paper
or a lot less privacy

i have coins already broken down to low amounts based on possible future value for cold storage
all key pairs were created offline
send funds to public keys created offline
private keys are then SPLIT into 2
and stored on multiple USB sticks/sd cards (A and B)
files are then encrypted with secure ~50 character password
i have multiple copies of cards/sticks
that can be left with friends, family and diff locations etc (obviously not together)
This is extremely secure.

This is not a long term solution as flash storage tends to degrade after a year. You should really use paper instead.

"a year" yeh whatever... LOL
they degrade after 5-10 years depending on product
i also have multiple copies on USB sticks and SD cards
(also a few backups on offline HDDs)
and i can and do make new copies periodically
paper is not safe, it doesn't even beat a $5 wrench attack

we are not the same.
LOL

As well as your USB sticks and SD cards.

Yes, because I know how electronic storage works and you do not.

I printed out my keys using archival ink and paper. I then encased these in clear resin. The resin blocks are in a pelican case. The pelican case is in a welded non-magnetic stainless steel tube. The tube is buried in concrete under my swimming pool. I have more than one pool in more than one country.

obviously you did not read or fully understand what i do with the private keys
what i do is not suitable for paper wallets
unless i want to keep 20,000 keys on bits of paper or lose all privacy

my method even beats a $5 wrench attack, yours does not.

Exactly, and your photo proves that as you do not even see the difference between the hard drives and flash storage.

You should do yourself a favor and learn how USB drives store data and which factors affect the data retention.

oviously it is much easier to give sd cards and usb sticks to others
hence the word "also"
