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).

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.

Many occasions since owning the Trezor, it has been unusable for me. Fixing would be good.

I know it's probably premature, but still: I recommend electrum (beta 2.0 until the final is out). I've been helping test it intensively (trezor and btchip) and I use it every day with trezor as my main wallet.

Does that mean that this problem will become more frequent with the more and more people purchasing and using trezors?

Frankly we should be switching to other services ASAP, if nothing else for the added security of splitting the hardware/frontend providers.

I wouldn't recommend people stay on myTrezor long-term, and I'm sure SatoshiLabs would be happy to drop support once it's not needed.

A web wallet is always convenient, so you can spend money in any computer without having to install a desktop program.

It may be that the BoP backend has unresolved issues when running on mainnet that do not occur on testnet.

Exactly. Mainnet has much more activity than testnet and thus the backend chokes much more often there.

I don't know if they're all running on the same machine / virtual machine, but on the occasions mytrezor.com has been malfunctioning - balances not showing - test.mytrezor.com has worked fine.

Given that satoshilabs also operate dev.mytrezor.com, perhaps one of the testnet servers could be converted to a backup mainnet server.

This is a great idea. Second server should fix the problem for most users because they could try the other one in case of first failing.

They should also have an automated service that detects the ptoblem and restarts the server. Or it could send SMS to stick.
Or maybe, if server always works for couple of days, they may have automated daily restarts.

Edit : This is the 4th time i have seen myTrezor.com BoP back end crash. On the first occasion test.mytrezor.com was also broken, and if I recall correctly it remained broken for over 1 week after myTrezor.com came back.

I'm confused. If the problem is corrected every time the back end is restarted, then how it's there not much that the Trezor guys can do about it? Isn't that something that they would work on preventing

Because the back end is outsourced?

Anyway this is giving them a bad image, because it is the only official interface available now (Electrum is in beta).

just restarted backend ... should be ok now

Yes, now it is OK.

But if you have to restart the server often, that might be an indicative that something weird is in the software.

Is the back end down again? Mine is just continuously just trying to pull of the transaction history again Sad

This is a bummer that this is starting to happen more and more often. I was definitely telling everyone how great the trezor is. I still think it is, but reliability is definitely going to become a factor...

It works for me. It is a known bug and they are working on it. Just a few pages back in this thread...

It will become a non-issue as soon as more wallets integrate it in to their software. Not much the Trezor team can do about that.
