Test vectors are good, but they don't protect you against backdoors.

Noob question: Is it safe to purchase a Trezor wallet from someone else (that you might not trust)? Is there any way that something could go wrong if the wallet was tampered with somehow?

You are safe if it is really TREZOR and it was not opened to replace electronics inside (you should be able to tell by opening marks on case, it's designed to be not easy to open without damage).

The hard part might be knowing that what you have in your hands is really TREZOR, if you saw real one only in pictures (in case there will be clones).

I thought this could be checked with test vectors. Wasn't that one of the points of deterministic signing?

I think the hard part is getting a TREZOR really in your hands;)

Have you just moved offices to a new location?

Thanks molecular for recording, I agree that it is "good enough". It's a pity that BXB staff didn't record the microphone...

It was a pleasure.

Btw the image which you posted on previous page is gone...

fixed. Strange problems with btctalk image proxy.

Hi, I finally found some time to prepare video from BXB. Please excuse low video quality.

Full presentation in Betahaus cafe: https://vimeo.com/90026733
TREZOR demo starts at https://vimeo.com/90026733#t=12m12s

cool, thanks! Biggest drawback is the audio quality imo, but it's bearable.

Reminds me of bitcoin conference 2012 in London where the guy recording the audio from the microphone LOST ALL THE DATA so I could just throw away all the recorded video footage. fuck. hehe.

even TREZOR has support for Altcoins, I don't think it also supports girlfriends.

that's exactly what I meant

lol that means you can use your girlfriend safely, even when hardware is compromised/infected ?  Wink
