Nice analogy? A Colt 45 may give you a false sense of security, but in real life it rarely helps; on the contrary, it is a great tool for criminals... Tongue

I like the analogy about something being a privilege of a few that later became something that everyone can assert. Not the fact it's being compared to a gun.

Nice analogy by our Spanish friends at ElBitcoin (http://elbitcoin.org/llega-trezor-el-colt-45-del-mundo-bitcoin/)

"With the Colt 45 revolver, self-defense is no longer the privilege of a few, but a right that anyone could assert." Now you can defend yourself in the Bitcoin world as well, hence TREZOR is "the Colt 45 of the Bitcoin World".

1. You connect the device into the USB and run Bitcoin wallet software
2. It automatically recognizes the device (by matching VendorID and ProductID of USB bus)
3. Software ask for master public key. Then it will be able to show your addresses and their balances.
4. When you want to send some coins, software creates template of bitcoin transaction and send it to wallet device.
5. Device displays transaction summary on its display and ask you to confirm transaction by pressing hardware button
6. Device signs transactions using private key stored in the device and sends signed transaction to desktop software.
7. Desktop software sends signed transaction to the bitcoin network.

Will it be safer to connect it OS where viruses and key loggers are likely to be found(except Linux-based) ? I think it will better to send using Wifi though a new wallet should be made/modify according to Trezor. Home-network will be most secure. It should be encrypted with WPA not WEP as WEP bypassing softwares have been introduced. BTW great project.

Kindly,

bits of proof

The coindesk post might sound a little misleading but that happens in communication.
I hope they will at least correct the link to myTREZOR

The CoinDesk article was compiled without interaction with me, interpreting quite freely a press release and our web sites.

The back end serving the transaction history for myTREZOR was developed by Bits of Proof. It was delivered in source code to SatoshiLabs and is operated by SatoshiLabs.

The Bits of Proof software stack is a generic purpose foundation for enterprise use of Bitcoin as demonstrated also by this project.

It is the shared goal of CoinTerra and Bits of Proof to establish BOP as an industry standard. Details of this plan will be out in few days and will be surely positive for TREZOR.

Verified awesomeness ✔

I am going to ask this question, before more people do (and thus saving you the trouble):
Any idea what the price will be? I don't need a specific number, a range would be sufficient.

I know that this has been asked many times, over and over again, but you should have an estimate if you are going to open a webshop that sells them Tongue

back-end for myTREZOR, this bits of proof apparently is now owned by one of the worlds worst hardware manufacturers cointerra?

You mean Cointerra is the manufacturer of the Trezor electronics?

We have no association with Cointerra.

TREZOR as well as TREZOR Web Wallet and its backend is our product (the backend delivered to us upon a contract of works with Bits of Proof)

myTREZOR Web Wallet is using BOP Bitcoin Server

"Bits of Proof " is company who made the myTrezor backend (the web wallet).

That's not true. myTREZOR webwallet was done by us. The thing done by BoP was the backend which myTREZOR connects to and asks for transaction history.

There was some Kaspersky Lab research - they've recorded over 8.000.000 attempts of a wallet-stealing malware in 2013.
Important thing to consider in the final numbers is that Kaspersky only has around 3-5% of the antivirus software marketshare.
Count that ratio in and what you get may be the bigger risk in absolute numbers.

Interesting number!

I could not find the total number of KL users (to translate that into percentage of hosts that are infected), do you have this number?

As I said twice before, keeping your keys in a Trezor surely must be safer than keeping them in your PC or smartphone (or in an unencrypted text file in your Dropbox folder).

And "what I tell you three times is true".
