Thanks Morveus everything is working perfect. Can we now mine to our Ledger Nano S without fear?

Does it support receiving/sending to shielded addresses ?
Confirmed working here also, zcash deleted in application manager and new version installed,bitcoin wallet was updated when I opened it so everything working as it should, I love this device and for the price everyone storing coins should look seriously at a hardware wallet to safe guard there assets

Yes!

Apparently not, it takes a lot of RAM and won’t be possible on a small device
What about on your new product coming out Ledger Blue? Does that have enough RAM?
this is a good question, will the BLUE have enough RAM for Z-transactions?
is this issue still pertinant?
edit: also what about mining eth/etc to this device, does it have the same issue? thanks

No, we’re talking about gigabytes of RAM needed

The issue has been solved, you need to update the Zcash application (remove then reinstall it) to get the latest version on your Nano S. The Chrome app automatically updates if you installed it from the Chrome Store, otherwise you’ll need to install 1.6.12.
Mining ETH and ETC has never been a concern with the Nano S as it’s very different from Bitcoin and its alts (much, much lighter transactions and no inputs to manage). Bitcoin and alts require all inputs to be signed in a transaction, which could take time depending on your case (we have reports of users trying to send transactions from thousands of inputs, requiring 300ms times several thousands…)
some more tutorials for your nano S, I hope they help, and thanks again, loving my nano S
After mining to the Ledger Nano S for 2 days I have broke my wallet and froze all the funds. It seems the .01 payouts every 12 min have bogged down my wallet and can’t sync. Ledger email help told me it’s not a good idea to mine to a hardware wallet not sure why. Was told they would look into this but be careful for the time being mining small amounts to your ledger Nano
Lots of small amounts are bad for the hardware wallet, because each transaction used as an input takes CPU time when signing a transaction.
Your issue there is a bit different: the transactions are so big (lots of outputs) that it seems your client application has issues synchronizing the big chunks of data it receives.
Hi, I sent a support ticket into ledger and just thought I would also post it here if someone could help. I had an issue seeing balance in zcash after mining .1 zec three times. I tried to remove zcash then install it again. the ledger app worked ok to remove zcash though it will not install it again.
There were issues syncing yesterday and this is likely related. I’m not sure if it has been resolved yet?
Thanks, I am being told by Ledger that it is a technical issue from mining to the nano s. I only had three txns 6 hours apart and it has worked before. I have transacted out four times previous. Thanks again for the response and I’ll keep trying before I try and export my keys to a software wallet that accepts ZKP computes.
Best Regards,
jc
I already posted this in another Topic regarding sync problems with hardware wallets - maybe Ledger should include this warning in their user manual…
It’s not a good idea to mine small amounts to the Ledger, here’s an comment from the Ledger Knowledge Base:

Can I use a hardware wallet as a direct payou from a mining pool or a faucet?
It is not recommended to receive small payments (also called dust payments) on a hardware wallet. This kind of incoming payments are typical of mining pools or faucets.
Set the payment threshold at a higher level (for instance 0.05 BTC), or use an temporary software based wallet which you’ll empty every 0.05 BTC.
The reason is that the chip must sign all inputs when you want to make an outgoing transaction. Imagine that you have received 1,000 payments of 0.001 BTC. If you want to make a payment of 1 BTC then the chip will have to construct a transaction of 1,000 inputs and sign 1,000 times. Not only it will take a few hours, but you have risks that it will not manage to do it (the chip may get too hot and fault some computation etc).
If you are already in this case, the best is to restore your 24 words seed on Multibit HD or Mycelium and empty your wallet (and stop receiving dust payments).
Ledger pushed an update which fixed this issue I was having. Go figure…

Hm. The Ledger page doesn’t list Zcash. @Morveus: please fix!? 
Coincidentally I bought a Nano Ledger S a few days ago and configured earlier today. I was confused by the lack of Zcash on the list, but it looks like they haven’t updated the screenshot.
When you install the Ledger Manager app and connect your Nano Ledger S, ZCash is there but you need to scroll:
I’ll notify the design team, but I don’t think they’ll have time to update anything (honestly we cannot update generic application screenshots each time its dynamic content changes, the idea is to show the app here, not the supported coins + tools).
The Nano S and Blue pages list every coin that we officially support, and this list is kept up to date:

I have been using the Ledger Nano S to store my zcash for some time. I mine to poloniex address and then send to the Ledger Nano S address. Now today I try and send a few Zec out of the ledger wallet and it just keeps failing the transaction. I haven’t mined any coins to the Ledger Nano wallet just transactions from Poloniex. What is the cause of this and is there anything I can do to get the wallet back to working?
Thanks,
Bud
Edit- I restarted my computer and it fixed it. Syncs up fine, sends fine all is good.
