Topic: TREZOR Hardware wallets? (Read 4728 times)
Mycelium wallet doesn't work with Trezor anymore after the latest firmware update.
Actually I am wondering about another thing, just in case you have the answers. What happens if you lose the seed but still remember the pin, can you check your original seed somewhere?
No. If you lose your seed, but still have the PIN, the only way to recover your funds is to send the BTC to another wallet. After initial setup, you can no longer view the seed.
Until now i did not hear from any security issues concerning trezors hardware wallets.
...
Trezor is definetly safe!
You obviously missed the whole "critical flaw reveals Trezor seed in plaintext" security issue that occurred a couple of months ago... Anyone with physical access to the device could read your plaintext Seed and PIN from the device memory......

Granted, this has been patched in the latest firmware, but statements like "definitely safe" is tempting fate

I, personally, like the ledger nano s more because it looks classy. Trezor appeals cheap when holding (light weight plastic).
The nano s on the other hand is a small sized "stick" which lookw pretty nice and feels smooth.
For me the previous version, the ledger nano, even looked better because it was like a "thin usb stick" with a nice surface.
But in the end its just personal preferences. Trezor is definetly safe!

What do you think of the TREZOR Hardware wallets? I'm thinking of getting one and would be interested to hear first hand complaints/compliments. For those who don't have experience with them, does the concept get you excited? I'd personally really like to have my wallet sitting in my pocket - without having to worry about third party wallet companies that could crash or be hacked etc.
really it is good wallet no doubt in this. in the market it had great demand so try to use this wallet. really it is excellent wallet. in this most safe public key and private key. buying and selling are great in this wallet.has any one tried other wallets and now using this wallet once absorve the difference. you always feel satisfy this wallet really more secure and safe.
I think its an excellent investment.
Has anyone moved to the new Segwit2X account and how was the impression.
FYI: There is no 2X. It's only Segwit.
Another thing: Whenever you are done using Trezor, how do you unplug it? Just pulling it, or is there a more proper aka refined way?
You can just unplug it and you will be fine. Or if you are using a public PC and don't want your Trezor device to appear in the list after leaving, you can "log out" of TREZOR Wallet by selecting your TREZOR device on the left panel and pressing Forget device.[1] https://doc.satoshilabs.com/trezor-user/forgetting.html
Thanks again

Is it safe to have backup of seed at friends if it is protected by additional passphrase offered by hardware wallets or is it easy enought to brute force it?
Using passphrases is a great idea but you are always better off keeping control of the seed yourself. Put it in a safe deposit box.
And both are almost impossible to buy immediately
Although, looking at the shop on Trezor.io today... the shipping date is supposedly August 1st (and the finally have the black one listed! gah!)... compared with Ledger currently being early Sept:
At the end of the day, I went with the Ledger... because Trezor didn't have the black available for purchase at the time only white and grey
(and the Amazon resellers with black were asking for 2-3x the price!!?! 
)... and, more importantly, the price... I could get the Ledger (including shipping) for less than the cost of just the Trezor (not including shipping) 
The trade-off being that I will need to wait a month longer to actually get it
I also checked out the digital bitbox, but it seems to lack integration with the wallet(s) I use... as for the KeepKey... well, after the total mess that MultiBit HD has become since they took over, I'd never give them $$$ or trust my coins to anything they touch.
I was almost tempted to buy a "BWallet" (a chinese Trezor Clone) just to have a fool around with the hardware...

The Digital Bitbox is cool, I bought one to check it out. It does not support Bitcoin Cash on the desktop app but the site did provide instructions on how to split your BTC into BCH. Since both Trezor and Ledger Nano S are providing native support for BCH Digital Bitbox has some catching up to do. Cannot recommend at this time.
The advantage Trezor has over Nano S is you can operate it with one hand. It takes two hands to press the buttons on the Nano S. This may not be important to you. KeepKey is quiet lately. They did post an update on BCH support today.
Having a hardware wallet is a must for anyone who is dealing with cryptocurrency. Trezor is one of the well-known hardware wallet that has many userbase in its repertoire. The only problem that I'm seeing right now is its availability. I've been reading some posts saying that they are having difficulties in acquiring Trezor wallet as it became very famous in the past months alongside Bitcoin. You'll never go wrong if you're going to buy a Trezor wallet.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Trezor. I've been using mine a couple of months now and I'm really thrilled with it. The one piece of advice I would give is to use a new incognito window in your browser each time you connect to your wallet, otherwise you can be seeing ghosts in your browser cache instead of your true balance. That's the only problem I've had though and if you have the funds, I'd say go for it!
Always good to incognito your browser regardless, big brother Google know you better than you.
I love the trezor . I have 1 black one.
I ordered the 3 pack black grey white.
Since I have a black one and want a white one.
I will have a gray and a black spare extra.
I sold the black to someone.
I will have an extra gray one sealed and list it in the market place once I get it.
To me the Trezor seem to be worth buying.

I think it takes time before you can receive the wallet if you order even in amazon but the price is different compare to amazon price and official page.Although, looking at the shop on Trezor.io today... the shipping date is supposedly August 1st (and the finally have the black one listed! gah!)... compared with Ledger currently being early Sept:

I think those who are selling like in amazon just a reseller and they are gaining more than the developer of the hardware wallet.. Trezo wallet same as ledger nano s more price in other market place but if you buy in official you can get it for fair price..
For me paper wallet is enough until the segwit is almost activated..

Question for both trezor and nano-s owners: which one is the best and why?
They are equal. It comes down to which interface you like better and which altcoins are supported. Also, Nano S is a little less expensive than Trezor and has a two year warranty instead of the one year Trezor offers.
Question for both trezor and nano-s owners: which one is the best and why?
Trezor hardware is the best wallet ever. I use it personally and happy from its processing capabilities
Is the software of Trezor open source ? I know it was but they changed something many people were unhappy, how about now 
I believe you can find all the TREZOR stuff on github here: https://github.com/trezorIt seems to have all the APIs and Libraries for implementing TREZOR support into your applications, as well as the sources for firmware and even schematics for the hardware.

How about ledger, is it open source ?
Ledger have a github here: https://github.com/LedgerHQ
Trezor hard wallet is cool, an acquaintance of mine lost his, it became non functional. he was able to fully restore his funds using only the seed words that was written down on a piece of paper.

Question guys.
What are the steps that I need to aware if I am using Trezor across different laptops/PCs. I am not at home half of the time and it would be good if a family member can operate trezor on their laptop if needed.

You can restore your seed using advanced recovery to a second Trezor. You keep one, family has the other. Both have access to same accounts.

They just need physical access to the Trezor device and the PIN code. They can't access the wallet if they don't have the Trezor in hands at the time.What are the steps that I need to aware if I am using Trezor across different laptops/PCs.

Just teach them how to open/use the software and how to send transactions.
Or if you want to buy one device for every member of your family, you can use the seed from the first device to import the same wallet in multiple Trezors.

Trezor is a good choice for a cold wallet alternative
Trezor Hardware wallet is one of the best ( as for Ledger Nano s ) I personally use both, and i am super happy!
What is the reason for using both of them? Wouldn't you just tend to use the one that you like the most? Do you prefer the Trezor or the Ledger Nano S more after you both of them?
For a while some altcoins were available on Nano S but not Trezor but both are pretty equal now. The Nano S is pretty bulletproof if you want to carry your hardware wallet with you to use with your phone. The Nano S also has a two year guarantee compared to one year for Trezor. I like and use both of them.
Why did you buy four of them? Can't you create multiple addresses/wallets within one Trezor?
Thanks.
Read the post, he bought four, one for each of 3 people and one if it is needed in the future, three different people are not going to hold all their money in the same wallet, will you put your cash in someone else’s wallet I guess not. Thanks.
Occfourse, just go for it!
I bought 4 of them, one for me, one for my friend, one for my friends father and also one, if anybody will need it. It's great, more secure, cold wallet, you canno't do better than if you're doing this.
Good Luck

I'm also planning to have one in the near future..Is this kind of hardware wallet supported with altcoins like etherium?
Yes, Trezor with the firmware update from 1.4.0 version and higher supports eth. With firmware 1.4.2 and more supports and other alts like as Dash and Zcash.

You will be hard pressed to find anyone with a negative opinion about the trezor wallet, it is a quality product that in my mind is the best on the market it has everything you may need and more, so if you want to protect your coins trezor is the way to go.

I currently don't have the Trezor Hardware wallet 'cause it's not available here in my country but I asked my cousin to get me one this year. The concept and design of the product does excite me and the fact that it is so handy, its not a hassle I'm sure. Can't wait to get a hold of it.
If you're not very tech-savvy and you need to feel secure from viruses, physical theft and many other issues, it should definitely be your first choice.
Agree, but if you like to learn something new, try paper wallets. Its very good method to keep your bitcoin offline and secure. U need to apply physical security then. One thing here, almost none of physical thiefs know what bitcoin is, so they would not take it/swipe it when it would lay in plain sight.Good point. Thanks a bunch.
Paper wallets are always going to be the best for security as you ideally don't want any connection to the digital world except when you need to take your Bitcoin out to a secondary wallet, but if all you want is a way to feel secure while spending, a TREZOR is a better choice IMO.

It's absolutely great. You can connect it with Electrum and loads of other wallets so you're not missing anything that other people do, and their own interface is pretty smooth/convenient as well.
If you're not very tech-savvy and you need to feel secure from viruses, physical theft and many other issues, it should definitely be your first choice.
Just keep your seed safely locked up/hidden/buried or use a passphrase. If you want, TREZOR even suggest having a second decoy passphrase which leads to fewer coins and keeps you safe from a five dollar wrench attack.
