Ubiq is proud to announce that you can now securely receive, store and send your UBQ and Ubiq network tokens on the Ledger Nano S and Ledger Blue hardware wallets.

First off we have exclusively negotiated a deal with a Ledger partner based in North America (cheaper shipping costs for a lot of people). You can purchase a Ledger Nano S wallet from our friends at CryptoAsylum.com to get a 10% discount as well as have 5% of your purchase go toward the Ubiq development fund.

Use the coupon code “UBQ” at checkout to apply the discount.

This short guide will help you through the process of using your device for the UBQ network and tokens.

This post also covers optional donations to cover the cost of funding Ubiq on the Ledger hardware wallet.

Using your Ledger hardware wallet

Once you have received your device, follow the process of setting a passcode and writing down your keywords. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO WRITE DOWN as you will need it to recover your funds if your device is lost or stolen. They even include a nice card in the box for you to do so.

Now you’re ready to add the Ubiq application to the device, to do so you need the Ledger Manager Chrome extension.

Ledger Manager Chrome extension

This will bring you to the Chrome Webstore to download the extension. Be sure to check it is the official application offered by ledgerwallet.com

Please note this app is currently only available to the chrome browser and has not been tested elsewhere.

Launch the extension and follow the prompts to connect your device with the included USB cord.

Once you’re able to navigate the store, you can scroll down the list to the Ubiq app and click the arrow key to download and install.

Once installed, select the app on the device and scroll to settings, browser support and change to Yes. The device is now ready to use with the Pyrus webwallet.

Using the Pyrus webwallet

The official webwallet from the Ubiq team, Pyrus can be found at this link:

To load up your accounts, click the “Send UBQ & Tokens” tab and select the Ledger Wallet option.

You may be prompted on the device to enable the functionality. From there you can select any address you want to access and see the balances.

From this screen you can receive, view and send your UBQ and Tokens on the Ubiq network.

This process is the same when using MyEtherWallet

Thanks for taking the time to read our guide and thanks to the Ubiq and Ledger teams for making this possible.

Donations to cover the cost of funding

The deal negotiated with Ledger was pioneered by Ubiq which allowed us to the bulk of the work for a discounted fee to have the Ledger team add the Ubiq application to their application store. Some other coin teams also benefited from this deal as well. This reduced cost came in at 5,000 €.

Ledger integration invoice

Funding was provided by Julian Yap and APX Ventures (both paid half). 1.4 BTC total was paid to Ledger on September 9, 2017.

As we move forward with Ubiq we will be experimenting with governance and various funding models for projects. If you like to optionally donate to repay the team for funding this project, please use the following addresses.

BEER token

We have deployed a $BEER token on the Ubiq network with the following specifications:

Contract address: 0xff3bf057adf3b0e015b6465331a6236e55688274

0xff3bf057adf3b0e015b6465331a6236e55688274 Token symbol: BEER

BEER Decimals: 0

0 Max supply: 8888

The Ubiq $BEER token is a token which allows the token holder to redeem a beer from a Ubiq team member (or participating Ubiq community member) in person. We think this is a fun way to foster community.

Any donations of $25 to the Ledger fund qualify for a $BEER token so please DM Julian on Ubiq Discord with your proof of donation and $UBQ address if you would like to participate.
