[ESHOP launched] Trezor: Bitcoin hardware wallet

[dnaleor]

I must ask, where does the "treXor plugin" pop up. I never had problems installing the correct plugin, but I want to help out some other people if they try to accidently install treXor

[cbeast]

Now I'm really confused. Which one is the malware, the trexor or the treXor? I guess I should hold off on buying a Trezor until I know which plugins I can use.

The plugin is only for the internet. You can wait for electrum to come out of beta and more stable, then you don't need a plugin.

There is no trexor or treXor plugin. A typo (trexor instead of trezor) by bigtimespaghetti was picked up on by kkurtman, me and (I think) mickeyB.

We were trying to be funny.

I guess we failed.

maybe that website overwrites the trezor plugin with the treXor plugin?

It's true, I was trying to be funny. I completely underestimated the naivety of people. Epic fail.

I aplogize.

However, I wish to note that there would've been no harm done if someone followed the advice not to install the treXor plugin. It's not like we told anybody to do anything harmful.

What are the chances for a malware plugin to extract the private keys from the trezor while using it?
What are the chances for myTrezor.com if hacked to extract the private keys from the trezor while using it?

Can I setup my trezor without using myTrezor.com online wallet?

I don't get this:

"Tamas Blummer, CEO of Bits of Proof (BOP) adds: “I believe TREZOR users will appreciate the fact that their private keys are never transmitted from myTREZOR to the BOP Bitcoin Server. The transactions are signed purely in the TREZOR device. It is finally safe to use a web wallet, thanks to TREZOR and our BOP Bitcoin Server”."


Does this mean that myTREZOR.com have access to the private keys into the TREZOR device?

Is there a way to install the webwallet on a localhost webserver without the need to work on myTrezor.com if the website is down?



Thanks

There are zero chances of anything other than a lot of time with an electron microscope to extract private keys from the device. IIRC.

[dnaleor]

Tonight, I was asisting someone with the setup of his Trezor through teamviewer.

I found out that I could NOT see the mouse moving when he chose his pin code !!

Very good programming

I don't know about the electron microscope specifically, but surely one can do it with suitable scientific equipment. Not with something that you but at Radio Shack, though.

I doubt that's intentional.

No need to hide mouse moves anyway because the shuffling of the keyboard is only known to the device and to someone looking at its display at the time.
