Times the wallet wipes itself. You would then need to restore it with the backup seed.The Ledger Nano S can also be used offline, which makes it even more secure. It works with all modern operating systems, including Linux, Windows and Macintosh. The downside to the Ledger Nano S is that it isn’t free, but they’ve been lowering the price, and it’s now just $59 as of March 2019.Trezor Model One (Hardware Wallet)Another hardware wallet where you can store your Bitcoin Gold is the Trezor Model One. This is the entry level hardware wallet that is developed by a company called Satoshi Labs that is based in Prague. Next to Ledger, they are probably the most recognizable hardware wallet on the market.Given that this is also a hardware wallet, your private keys are stored locally on the device.
