How technical with Bitcoin do you need to be to operate it safely?

It's really hard to screw up security-wise.

One mistake I've seen a newbie make is to take a photo of the seed words he had written down with his phone (out of fear to lose them). It dawned on him he had made a potentially fatal (for his coins) mistake. He reinitialized the device after I confirmed this was a really bad idea.

Appreciate the response. I think I'll have to try this out!

I would think that with the competition the price would start coming down on these but not os.

What do you guys think about the U2F vs. TOTP "debate" (not much of a debate yet, but hoping to start one)?

Also, constructive criticism welcome!

I cannot figure out how to get trezor installed in Debian. See my post for reference if you have the time or inclination to help.

for use with electrum, I once ended up copying (or symlinking) the "trezorlib" folder (python module, I guess) from the python-trezor (https://github.com/trezor/python-trezor.git) into my electrum folder.

Not sure, but maybe this helps in your case?

EDIT: sorry, didn't read that you solved the issue. congrats!

Just checking in on this thread. I got this licked finally!! Started from scratch and installed hidapi without any errors at last!! For some reason this was a tough one on a Debian 8 VM. Anyway, all good now!!

Yep, perseverance always wins with these jobs. Glad you got it dealt with.

Owned trezor for a long time now - a very good investment.
Ran into a couple of small problems, one that got me on the verge of freaking out... mytrezor, electrum, etc. just couldn't recognize my trezor anymore. The fix was just updating the driver after the trezor software updates (when needed). Just putting it out there, found it on their helpful documentation.

yeah, I ran into this one frequently, too. Don't forget python-trezor update.

I have been stuck on something for weeks now. Let me paste a link to a thread in Electrum here. I asked about this a few posts up in this thread too. You sound like you can really relate to issues with loading trezor software. Using Linux?

Guys, don't get me wrong here. Which forum would I go to in order to post a BTC reward (if such a post is within TOS here)? I am not making that offer yet because I am still trying to get this done via reading and studying. Getting close to a dead end though. Trezor works flawlessly on mytrezor. Electrum works perfectly on Debian too. How to get them to play together? If I can't load the trezor software I am not going to make it happen.

What do you guys think. Do you think I could make a living as what andreas antonopoulos is to bitcoin except for trezor?

Sure.
The key to success is consistency.

So: DO IT!

Cython = no luck Still can't get trezor-python to install completely

two steps to try in the next few

1. Try running Trezor + Electrum on a bare metal Debian box (ditch the VM to see if it changes anything). I have a Debian machine to use with a nice backup sector image. I can write back the system if I don't like the outcome. Its small < 100 Gig so maybe an hour to write it back afterwards.

2. Might build a Ubuntu VM since several here seem to be having luck with it. I prefer to use Debian but I can live with Ubuntu for BTC only via a VM for the task. Which Ubuntu flavors are working well for you guys? Ubuntu and Debian both make it easy to locate drivers for this particular machine.

I am trying to build a nice linux system because I want to connect Trezor + Electrum via TOR. I use TOR and Electrum with no problems, but now I need the hardware wallet in the mix. I'll get there but its a fight for some reason.

If any new readers come across this thread and can throw some light on it, please do so!

Mint is a good option if you want maximum stability and compatibility. I like the general relative lack of annoying nonsense with mint. Everything seems to always just work. The xfce desktop environment is very low overhead also.
