Hi, can anyone tell me if Electrum takes long to become ready for use, I have just waited 5+ days for Bitcoin Core to synchronise with the network. I know that Bitcoin Core (hereafter BCC) is a full node software, so I have been patient.
Electrum is a lightweight SPV wallet. So you can use it immediately after downloading it and it doesn't require you to download the whole Blockchain just like with Core.

Does the latest version as found at https://electrum.org/ work with TREZOR as a hardware wallet ?
Yes.

I wish to use Electrum as an alternate wallet.

Thanks for reading.
