the pain seems high for many. Here's a little "rough guide" to using master branch of electrum with trezor for those inclined to try to access their funds:

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK (use linux, on windows try cygwin maybe?)

you might have to install some dependencies during the process. For python-stuff this can usually be done with "easy_install "

first install python-trezor lib. Open a shell (terminal) and do this: (don't enter '#>', that's the prompt). If you get "command not found" or similar, make sure you have git and python installed.


#> git clone https://github.com/trezor/python-trezor.git
#> cd python-trezor
#> sudo python2 setup.py install
#> cd ..


now get electrum sources from github and start electrum


#> git clone git://github.com/spesmilo/electrum
#> cd electrum
#> python2 electrum


It might tell you something about using pycc or something to generate icons. Just copy the line it tells you to execute and paste it into your shell and hit enter.

Now in electrum, go to tools -> plugins and enable the trezor plugin. Not sure if you need to restart electrum at that point. Might be necessary.

Then go to file -> new and setup a new wallet file by entering a name for the wallet file, check "hardware wallet", then "trezor" and follow instructions.

I also suggest you go to Tools -> Preferences and check "show transaction before broadcast", that way you can double-check transactions before broadcasting them.

BE CAREFUL, this is the development branch of electrum. Act accordingly and manage expectations. I've been using this for a couple of weeks now without major issues (well, I ran into one, but that's fixed thanks to stick and ThomasV)

Hopefully someone will find this helpful.

I have not received a bug report from TREZOR that would imply a downtime of the magnitude claimed in this thread, therefore would be fair if it was not represented as a BoP issue.

Are you implying that all reported bugs to you have already been fixed and fixes delivered to us?

Whilst Electrum 2+Trezor works perfectly, I am happy to say Multibit HD+Trezor is also coming along nicely

I also cannot access my funds on myTrezor.com, can't say I'm impressed at all.

I will be sweeping them right back to a paper wallet the moment its up, what a waste of $120.

Just be patient. Third party wallet support will solve problems like these and it will be here very soon.

   Used my new Trezor all week and was stoked with how well it worked.Then after feeling comfortable enough to move more coins in ,the same problem arose.My trezor wallet won't show my balance.Extremely troubled right now.I wish it was at least be addressed by trezor  that there's a problem on their end and not to freak out.

mytrezor.com isn't usable at this moment. I'm trying to load a wallet but my ketys won't load.

Yes, same problem
Balances are not showed but site works.
May be this problem of "Bits of Proof" - the provider of API for blockchain UTXO (unspent outputs) of MyTrezor.com
If you need only in the Trezor for getting of Receive addresses you can use MyTrezor list application (and BTCReceive as addition for other Trezor's account) and webqr.com site for scanning QRCodes for getting addresses into computer.
If you need to send bitcoins right now - only Electrum 2.0 beta from github, but now this is very difficult way - compiling & installing from source.

Any eta on when BoP is going to be fixed?
I have not received a bug report from TREZOR that would imply a downtime of the magnitude claimed in this thread, therefore would be fair if it was not represented as a BoP issue.
I have no information whether Satoshilabs filed such a bug report or not. To be fair, the issue might still be in mytrezor not using the backend correctly. Satoshilabs may have some more info and it would be nice to get this fixed instead of just restarting backends.

    backend: Auto-reconnect on error, signal offline status

would you mind to share electrum 2.0 binaries for mac?

You shouldn't. This program is too much important to accept binaries compiled by others.

This is the land of wolves now & you're not a wolf
Is it easy to set up to use with electrum? I have never used that client before... I have been waiTing to see whIch clients shOuld be easiest to use with Trezor, as I have jusT been using the web wallet for that portion of my holdings

It took me 4-6 hours of troubleshooting to get Electrum 2.0 working built from source on my Mac. I didn't try on Windows, but I imagine it is more difficult. If you're using Linux, it shouldn't be that bad, follow the "Development version" instructions here. You also have to have the python-trezor python module installed. Using it is as straightforward as Electrum with its own wallet, once you've satisfied the dependencies.

People not familiar with a shell, git, python, etc should probably wait for 2.0 release binaries. Especially if on windows (just a hunch, I might be wrong, cygwin might help).



Yikes...I think I will wait...that sounds way too complicated for me.   I need to read "coding for dummies"   is that an available book? lol
