Title: Can my account get too big for a trezor to store or will it just slow down?

I've been having mining payments paid into my Trezor for convenience, I normally plug it into my phone but decided to plug it into my laptop and it says:

Your account is too big.
Your Trezor might take longer to load or sign transactions.

I may plan on getting funds sent to another wallet if this is a problem and send funds in packets of a certain amount of BTC across but I'm wondering if it's just signing speed that gets changed? There are 15 private keys for account 1 and 3 for account two, I think I've received about 80-90 transactions though to the first account which might be the issue.



The transactions are huge because they come from a big mining pool but I don't think that should affect anything?

The weight of transactions doesn't matter. Account size refers to a number of transactions. If you decide to create a new transaction with 80-90 inputs then the signing process will take much longer than usual. Also, the web wallet might take some time to fetch the details of each transaction. Consider consolidating your inputs with 1 sat/byte fee from time to time or changing your settings on the pool's website.

Ahh thanks. I'm hoping the device will have enough ram for signing. I often use mycelium so it loads itself, the Web wallet is slower but I'm used to procrastinating while thinks are loading by now...

The current unsigned transaction is at about 19kb and will cost 42p to send at 1 sat per byte (and should confirm within 1 day, 4 hours and 42 minutes) so as long as the transaction can be signed then great...
