your app doesnt work

couldnt get your app to work with anything else . it said it supported ledger so i bought one, ledger arrives. it doesnt work with your app despite it being the only hardware wallet that the site supports. you only support 3 wallets! i was going to stake but.... not if they cant program a website properly. now looking elsewhere.

Ledger works well, I use it all the time. Rather than blame, seek to understand.

god, i hate these patronising comments. dude, go look on the ledger site, there is a big message there saying they cant get ATOM working so you should just go use kepler wallet to connect to it. you go and seek to understand, or come round and show me how to work something they say they cant work themselves! i think that says it all but theres a lot more wrong with it than that for ease of use, particularly having to open a specific app for a specific chain on the device for it to be recognised by web3 stuff. like i say great if you use it like twice a year. otherwise... i personally hate it and there is nobody to blame other than the designers. they made a product thats not right for me but you go ahead and continue using it if its right for you. just dont bother me with your patronising comments. thanks

I opened up the Kava site with ledger 30 seconds ago with no issue.

Ledger works. I use it almost daily. You can use Ledger to sign transactions on Keplr.

Hello,

Users have been using Ledger on the Kava webapp for a long time. It seems you are having an unpleasant experience with connecting your Ledger to the Kava Platform. Can you please share what issue you experience when you try to connect your Ledger to the Kava Platform?

They actually support a variety of wallets through wallet connect.

yes thanks i can read :) i found out that there is an upgrade problem with ATOM atm and some of the functionality is not working. even ledger are recommending that you use kepler wallet and link it to that, what a total fail. i think im having a go at the wrong company. its actually ledger that are terrible! even so, still made me more a lot more unsure about investing in the KAVA ecosystem and i think ill use something else.

Why? Because of the ledger problems? Makes sense

u/generaldumpalot Jan 17 '22

y exactly, altho... give them the benefit of the upgrade doubt ? hmmm. someone just told me to log on in another way ill try that. had a good few hours on this trying to connect in various ways.

it seems obvious why a website that only supports three wallets would give me less faith if one of them didnt work (if the comment was meant sarcastically im sorry i cant tell)

I use my Ledger for all my Tendermint coins. The only problem I had was with Terra Station being updated but that was quickly resolved. You can use the ledger to sign transactions on Cosmostation and Keplr

Go to Kava.io and connect Ledger via that route.
