Trezor is good to go.
It's one of the best hardware wallets out there.And it has the best design imo. Grin

On the other site it's quite expensive, what many here will have mentioned I guess.
But it's also worth the price imo.Maybe with more competition and cheaper ways of manufacturing it will become a bit cheaper in the future.

But is only good right if you hold your bitcoins for a long time?
Because actually you dont need trezor if you spend bitcoins every week.

It's still safer than having your coins in a computer that is constantly connected to the internet. A device that is constantly connected to the internet is prone to all kind of attacks. The only way to stay safe is to have this device absolutely isolated from the internet.

Id trust trezor but my problem is for the price of it I could pretty much buy another .5 btc and just use paper wallets.

You have to spend some money for the security of your money. lol

I'm not so sure, I mean trezor is cool and all but I've never heard of anyone hacking a paper wallet.

That's one of the reason that I'm sticking to my paper wallet for now. Trezor has been recommended by a friend of mine and he purchased one as well on black friday. I might try it out someday to test it for myself.

For sure, if they came down to a cheaper price I'd probably buy one just cause I like the way it works.

How cheap are you looking for? because they are having sales every time there's an holiday coming up. It was on sale on black friday. Maybe there will be a sale on Christmas as well.

This christmas for sure it will come deal, but I think that paper wallet is just fine too.
Only you need to be carefull that you don't lose your paper wallet.

for me there is no need for a hardware wallet as i can simply store my coins in a paper wallet or i can save the wallet files to usb drives. the trezor is quite expensive if you ask me.

nah, I would not trust when we talk about large sum of money, but anyway it is better to keep on paper wallet.

It is pretty safe to me this trezor, but to be clear if it really safe just see the trusteed reviews from the other.
If you are using paper wallet is fine too I think. Is just if you have a lot of bitcoin and want to just hold it you need to trust trezor.

This trezor was recommended to me as well. I'm going to use paper wallets for now though. I don't have that many bitcoins to secure btu maybe in the future I will buy one.

Well they got them on sale very often, keep an eye out for a Christmas sale, you might be able to get it cheaper then.

I'm thinking about getting one as well, I would really like to test this out as well

I've heard of trezor lately, haven't heard any negative thing about it.

I might try it out if I have such an amount of bitcoins someday.

From what I understand the trezor guys are very trustworthy. Unfortunately since bitcoin is still so
young its like the wild west so nothing would surprise me. Even if we found out they were putting
software on it that steals.

I can say that I do trust the Trezor wallet as I have had one holding my coin for quite some time without issue. Saying that I will never put all my eggs in one basket 'hardware wallet' and I do spread them across Ledger and Trezor and 50% in cold storage. With the time it has been out and the amount of eyes that have looked over the coding like yourself that gives me more faith. If something was to happen I would have thought it would already but who knows that is why only around 25% is kept on there and I can recover from that.

I will never trust something that has dependance of a mechanism to work be it mechanical or digital (electronic) above a simple paper wallet wrapped in fire resistant plastic. I mean who would? just get a paper wallet with BIP38 and wrap it on sturdy type of plastic, how doesn't this beat Trezor to be honest?

This is OK if you will not move your coins let's say for a year, but if you must move your coins once a week for example, then your paper wallet becomes very inconvenient. This is where Trezor shines!

Well if you get a copy of the keys and print it and have it near you on your desktop, how is it so unconvenient to use it? If you want to get funds on it or move it out of them you could always use your phone scanning the QR code. Instead of connecting Trezor in your computer you connect your phone.

To make paper wallets 100% sure as you should, you have to create them offline on a machine that was never online. Every time you use your private keys to spend funds from them, you should assume your private keys compromised and you should proceed on creating new ones, again on the offline, malware free machine.

At least it should be done like this and this is indeed very inconvenient if done properly.

I do not trust trezor that much. Just because I have experience with IT HW for a long time. Everything is going to broke some day. How can I judge how good design and quality components trezor had. What testing was performed and how support will be available in the future?
I also think about security, how about any hidden "features" in the fw ... etc.
