Hope there are talks with Dell to incorporate the Trezor in the next version of their notebooks, seeing that they joined the Bitcoin wave now.

I would like to something like this, be part of hardware, we use every day.  Grin Once it's built in, a sticker must say, "Bitcoin enabled" 

That is my vision for Trezor.

Want privacy? Use Monero!
The thing is... I like the white 'clean' look, problem is that white can easily become dirty grey...

But really, I want to use my Trezor Smiley The color doesn't matter

good job, I was hoping for the (beer-proof) black one though

It would be awesome if we could choose black or white

The "First Edition" engraving looks SO much better on white one.

Congratulations are in order.

I cannot even fathom how much work and dedication you guys put into this project.

I am convinced it will thrive with many wallets supporting it and an ever-growing user base trusting it.

Thank you for making the bitcoin world a better place!

Today we've received first batch of Classics for testing. As you can see, Trezor quite likes swimming in Club Mate ;-)

any plans to adapt them to this utility as well? i suppose the imputes would be more on software developers to adapt their software to work with trezors, but none the less there could be some collaboration.

Wow, have not visited this thread in a long while, it's nice to see the progress and testing of actual wallets. 

Waiting for sales to open up.

That way they will be collectable some day.

I just hope they don't become very rare limited edition collectibles (as in, because what was released so far is it)

I would imagine satoshilabs goal (or one of the goals) is to make bitcoin more easily to use in a secure way by "mainstream" people and old-timers alike. Another one is making money.

Why stop short of those two when "all there  is to do" is scale production, organize distribution channels and support. I'm probably forgetting some things here, but putting in all this hard work to develop an awesome product with a healthy potential market and then leaving it be at producing a couple of "rare items" doesn't make sense at all.

Add to that, if slush and stick don't do it, someone else will.  Hardware wallets are just too critical a component to not get them into the public's hands.  Not only is some sort of trusted signing hardware needed for bitcoin, it can help secure all kinds of other things.  Password managers look totally silly and insecure compared to Trezor or similar devices.

I set up my Trezor with 24 words, entered the same 24 words into Wallet32 and yes! got the same sequence of Bitcoin addresses on both wallets.

Did you also tried passphrase protected seeds? AFAIK latest Wallet32 has support for it as well!

I use a verso card (silver), the private key is encrypted, so post office don't have the key
When you use the app, the key is flashed from the card and stored temporarly on device's ram, you decrypt it to pay, and when you close the app, the key is gone.

It's not bad, I use it to keep small amounts on an iPhone.


Here you have the main difference: trezor doesn't give out keys, not even "temporarily".

While waiting for my 2 ordered trezors I found another interesting "hardware" wallet:

If I understand well, it is just piece of plastic with printed public and private keys as QR codes. So technically its not hardware wallet, but paper wallet. Actually it is probably breaking all known best practices for managing paper wallets:

* You're not sole owner of private keys. Quoted from their website:
Quote
We store fragments of your Verso Gold in multiple Swiss bank vaults so that you can recover a digital copy of your Verso Gold in case of loss.

Also it isn't clear how this recovery process works, because they claim "We do not keep any information relating your identity". Do you have any more information how the recovery works?

* Private keys are send by post.

* BIP38 may be good for redeemable coins like Casascius, but its very bad practice to use those keys for common wallet, because of privacy issues (re-using public key). Also considering that private keys is actually known by other parties (because of "swiss bank vault" and post office), the security is not much better than using brainwallets. Search reddit, it is full of fail stories of using brain wallets. Personally I don't understand why people are so excited by BIP38.

* it's cheap!

Actually 10 USD for piece of plastic is quite overpriced (considering $7 as worldwide shipping). You'll get much better results by using free Wallet32 Android app. But okay, hand-written recovery seed does not look as cool as plastic card Wink.

https://versocards.com/

I've ordered one in april and it came only a few days later. I'm very happy with it, enough security for me for small BTC amounts, but I wouldn't store my pension fund on this!

Supports android and iOS and it's cheap!  Grin
