Ledger<\/a>, a French cryptocurrency hardware wallet manufacturer, has faced criticism for failing to conduct proper testing before launching a firmware update to their Nano S wallet. While the company said that the update, which significantly decreased the device's storage, was the result of a mistake, some users speculated it was part of a scheme to make the device obsolete.<\/p>\n

Firmware Update for Ledger's Nano S Wallet Leaves Device With Reduced Storage<\/h2>\n

On Jan. 16th, Ledger, one of the world's most popular hardware wallet manufacturers, announced<\/a> the launch of the new firmware update for their Nano S wallet.\u00a0The upgrades included in the 1.5.5 version update were supposed to provide more possibilities for third-party developers to add specific crypto algorithms which were missing from the device's previous firmware and improve application management, according to Ledger's announcement.<\/p>\n

However, a couple of weeks into the launch, Ledger found itself at the receiving end of a lot of criticism. User sentiment ranged from mild to infuriated, as numerous users found that the update decreased their wallet's storage capacity.\u00a0One angry user raised the following complaint:<\/p>\n

\u201cLedger Nano S (firmware version 1.5.5) can't even hold BTC<\/a>, ETH<\/a> and XRP<\/a> apps at the same time… is this really an ‘update,' or just a cynical ploy to sell more devices?!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The company was quick to respond to the backlash and published an official blog post<\/a> detailing the incident on Feb. 14th. In response to the criticism from the community, Ledger issued the following statement:<\/p>\n

“When planning for this update we didn\u2019t anticipate the impact it would have on Ledger Nano S<\/a> capacity. This was not planned obsolescence, simply put, we messed up. We apologize and we\u2019re committed to making it right,” Ledger said on its website.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Users Not Buying Ledger's Apology, Company Accused of Scheming to Make Nano S Obsolete<\/h2>\n

Despite the company's apology and assurance that it was working hard to fix the problem, many users were still left skeptical. Dozens of Redditors<\/a> agreed that the update was nothing more than a ploy to sell more hardware wallets.<\/p>\n

The overwhelming sentiment among users was pessimistic. Many said that a team as big and as reputable as the one at Ledger simply couldn't have made such a simple mistake. A test including device storage checks is considered a norm in test labs, which prompted many users to doubt the company's explanation.<\/p>\n

Others have pointed out that the problem with the update occurred at an incredibly convenient time\u2014Ledger had just launched the pre-sale for its new Nano X<\/a> wallet which offers more storage and better performance than the previous Nano S. Respectively,\u00a0 reduced storage would have made the newer model more desirable and further help Ledger's bottom line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
