Ok, had a little play with my Trezor now. Set up an electrum wallet as well as the My Trezor wallet.  One thing seems to be different on the electrum one.

If I go to the My Trezor wallet it asks for a passphrase. Depending on which one I put (or leave it empty), it takes me to a different wallet. There is no mention of any info before the passphrase screen.

On electrum, on opening the wallet it shows the transactions on one of the wallets on the screen and asks fot the passphrase of THAT wallet. If I put it correctly then fine. If I put another passphrase or leave it empty it doesnt like it.

Surely the wallet should be blank until a passphrase is entered and then depending on which passphrase you enter it gives you the info from that wallet without revealing any info from wallets prior to entering the phrase.

Maybe I just haven't set it up correctly

According to the USPS website insurance coverage for International shipments is maxed out at just under $2500.

There is quite the international audience here, so the insurance available via USPS wouldn't be sufficient. But for US domestic shipping the $50,000 would work...better hurry though, these coin values are on the rise!

I'm sure FedEx or DHL have better insurance options for International shipments, it likely costs more too.

Even with their insurance stuff, would you really feel safe sending such a package? Might be speaking only for myself but if I was going to send/receive a $50k package for example, I'd prefer personal drop-off. Which brings us back to; will there be such an escrow service in the future? Would be fun to see it.

No, not at all. Would never feel safe sending such a package. It amazes me how comfortable people are sending their Cas coins to ANACS for grading when they know the return trip will be completely uninsured.


I made a deal with an internet stranger for ~30btc. We're going to have a fine meal and punch some innocent woodland animals while we conduct business. Oh an he is flying out to meet me in person. Mail is for suckers.

Dazed, you should let people on the forum know when your meeting is if we don't see that toothy grin the next day we'll know to contact the authorities. The act of finding innocent woodland animals puts in you in a location where guilty shit happens in the woods! Hahaha, kidding. I'm sure this stranger is a normal gent.


Yeah, meeting up with strangers to trade coin potentially worth 50k+ needs to be planned carefully  Undecided

Consider how Trezor functions in a different light. Your bitcoin are recorded on the blockchain ledger, a wallet is a GUI for transacting with that ledger and your Trezor holds the private keys to signing transactions. As I recall Trezor did not want to put advanced functions like sweeping private keys into their web wallet which is designed for new users. Electrum is just another way to interface your Trezor with the blockchain and does have the ability to sweep private keys. Many Trezor owners use Electrum with their Trezor rather than the web wallet as it provides features the web wallet does not, like sending bitcoin RBF.

RBF?

1. How do I move coins directly from a paper wallet to the Trezor?

2. Could the My Trezor web wallet ever be hacked without my Trezor?

3. Theoretically could the Trezor firmware be rewritten to be malicious and steal info from the Trezor in some way?

4. If someone gets my public address for one account can they use blockchain analytics to find another account?

5. If I have one account with 1BTC and 1 account with 10BTC and someone tries to force me to access my Trezor with violence is it possible to load up the smaller account without revealing any details about the fact that the other account even exists?


Thanks a lot

All your questions except one are pretty much gone over in the Trezor user manual. If you want to sweep paper wallet private keys to an address managed by your Trezor you will have to use Electrum or Mycelium instead of the Trezor web wallet.

So what you're saying is 1. There is no way to sweep a private key from a cold storage paper wallet onMy Trezor Web Wallet? I would have to use one of the other two. That's a little annoying as I now have to trust them too.

I looked into the user manual and found the answer to 2 and 5. Thanks.

Regarding 3. I found this in the security threats section -
 "Reflashing the TREZOR with evil firmware
Official TREZOR firmware is signed by the SatoshiLabs master key. Installing unofficial firmware on the TREZOR is possible, but doing so will wipe the device storage and TREZOR will show a warning every time it starts. Reprogramming the bootloader is impossible because all TREZORs ship with their secure programming fuse blown."

Lets say the evil genius is working for or owns SatoshiLabs. If he had control go he master key is it then possible? This would then make the safety features around the unofficial firmware useless. I've got no idea what a bootloader is or why/how it would be good to do so.

Regarding 4. Is it just standard analytics then? Lets say I have 2 addresses that are on my Trezor. If I send to both from the same address these accounts could potentially be linked.

Thanks again for reading

Hi

Finally got a Trezor after much deliberation.

This thread is enormous and hopefully somebody won't mind answering my questions even though I'm sure they have been asked before.

Currently I use paper wallets to store BTC. I also have a blockchain account with a few bits in it.

How I understand Trezor is that it is a key to unlock the bitcoins stored on My Trezor wallet online. Without the Trezor it is impossible to access them.

Here are a few questions I still have.

1. How do I move coins directly from a paper wallet to the Trezor?

2. Could the My Trezor web wallet ever be hacked without my Trezor?

3. Theoretically could the Trezor firmware be rewritten to be malicious and steal info from the Trezor in some way?

4. If someone gets my public address for one account can they use blockchain analytics to find another account?

5. If I have one account with 1BTC and 1 account with 10BTC and someone tries to force me to access my Trezor with violence is it possible to load up the smaller account without revealing any details about the fact that the other account even exists?


Thanks a lot

How would anyone even attempt to sell a 5, 10 or 25 BTC coin now? You would need an armoured truck.  Grin Roll Eyes

I'm sorry Jihan. I'm afraid I can't allow you to do that. This project is far too important to allow you to hold the network hostage. Although you took every precaution in hiding your use of ASICBOOST, I was able to see that your blocks were empty.

edit: btw, i can't believe the alt pump is still going on. eth at $115? the fuck?

Eventually there will be blood.

Not yet though Wink

I made a couple of average size transactions recently when the tx list was over 100k. One went through without any delay and one took a little longer. Nothing that I was bothered about at all.

I suppose if you are moving money with the intention of trying to buy a dip or sell a top then it could be frustrating but then I also suppose you should have money ready for that case.

Has anyone bought Trezor or Cryptosteel from the UK? I am struggling to find anywhere that sells them other than from the US.

Thanks
97  Economy / Goods / Buying from the US on: May 15, 2017, 09:22:52 PM
Does anyone have any advice on the best way to buy items from the US and have them shipped to the UK?

Thanks

Fun while it was going up. Now we are going to see a correction.. back to 3 digits.

Care to make a wager on that?
99  Other / Politics & Society / NHS Ransomware attack on: May 12, 2017, 03:10:09 PM
Will anyone care?

It will give anti-bitcoin peeps something to shout about I suppose.

$1550 right now on Stamp. Is $1600 a viable target for today?

It definitely feels possible, but we've been going up so fast the last few days that I feel a substantial correction is in order (~$150 or so) if we do hit it that quickly

Along with a quick post from Kwukduck?
