Ordered one of these Nanos and it should be arriving next month so my coins aren't sitting on Coinbase.
When I get it I just need to write down the 24 word passcode right incase anything happened to the device? Or do I also need to write down public/private keys as well. Can I view those on the device?
Just need the passwords
You'll get fucked by a keylogger before then

There's a card in the box that has a line for you to write each of the 24 words the device shows when you initialize it. I would recommend writing these down on the card AND somewhere safe (like in your gmail with 2FA).
If you put your passcode incorrectly 3 times, it will wipe and reset the device. You will need those 24 words to restore the keys.
Also, if the device gets lost/stolen and you need access the coins immediately... you can create a temporary ETH wallet on MEW using those same words. (You can buy another Nano S and restore the keys with the 24 words too)
Basically, as long as you have those 24 words you can always access your wallet, with or without the Nano.

I have 2FA enabled.

I don't get it. I don't need the address the coins are on? Just the 24 word passphrase?

It comes with instructions, fuck.
>>2349808
yes! you can even use 12 words. that's plenty of entropy.
keep the 12 words safe. Security through obsurity. use firdge magnets to write them and then take a picture of you and your family in front of the fridge, and then copy and save it on multiple usb sticks .
you don't have to write down private keys for as long as you have your bip39 seed which are those words
>>2349808
Look up BIP 39 / BIP 44

>not getting it tattooed backwards on your butt
It's like you're trying to get your coins stolen.

Got a link to the BIP39 wallet? I'd like to test it out.
