Sorry, I have to correct myself: Even with the Trezor plugged in it shows the transaction history before entering the PIN. Would be great if this could be changed as well.

Hi ThomasV,

Trezor has come out with a new firmware version, which mandates the PIN to be entered before the public addresses are loaded:

"After updating your firmware to 1.3.3 you’ll notice a slight change when working with myTrezor.com, Mycelium for Android, MultiBit HD or any other TREZOR compatible applications. From now on each time you plug in your device, you’ll be requested to enter your PIN before your account balances and transaction history load. This way, we aim to improve your privacy protection and make sure that no unauthorized person can get access to any sensitive data or view your bitcoin wealth if you leave your TREZOR unattended."

This is a very useful privacy feature. I tried it with Electrum and when Trezor is plugged in it works. However, if I don't plug-in Trezor and open the wallet file, the watch-only wallet is loaded and shows all my BTC without the entry of my PIN. I would prefer that the wallet addresses are only loaded once I have plugged-in the wallet and entered the PIN. Not plugging-in the Trezor thus circumvents this privacy feature.

My question is: Is there a possibility to switch off the watch-only mode and to saved this preference in the wallet file? If not, I would like to submit a development request to make this available as this is a very useful privacy feature.

Thank you!

Hi,

Thank you for your help. It works when Trezor is plugged in.

Suggestion to improve Electrum: When choosing the Trezor hardware wallet option, open up a message that says to plug in the Trezor instead of letting Electrum crash, if Trezor is not plugged in.

Thank you!

Hi ThomasV,

I have Electrum 2.0.3 running on Windows as well as Trezor.

When I wanted to set up a new wallet in Electrum based on Trezor it did not work. Then I have seen that I need to install a Trezor wallet plugin. I did not manage to do this.

My question/request for you would be: Couldn't Electrum already come with the Trezor plugin as a default? For an average user everything else is too complicated. This would significantly enhance the value of Electrum.

Thank you!

PS: When I want to download Electrum 2.0.4 as a Windows installer (https://electrum.org/#download), it always downloads the 2.0.3 setup exe.
