[ESHOP launched] Trezor: Bitcoin hardware wallet

[Lincoln6Echo]

Is there a easy way to update Trezor without using Chrome/ Iron /Chromium? Trezor Bridge is not working in combination with Win10.

If you have an Android, you can use the Trezor Manager app.

  looks like Trezor is a google product. That sucks. Next I will try to update with Linux mint...

Iron Browser is a privacy centric neutered Chrome for those who do not like to use Google Products. Iron works just fine with Trezor app.

No it's not really a Google product. It just runs on most used platforms, which happen to be offered by Google. Either way, there should be no issues with Linux + Bridge + python-trezor, if you do not want to use Chrome

Need some help here brothers,

FYI - my Trezor is still using the firmware ONE back from the latest.  I don't need U2F so I have been waiting.

I built a Debian VM and I am trying to get Trezor seen by Electrum.  I already installed Chrome and the bridge for mytrezor.  Everything works fine if I wanted to use that site, but I don't.  The Trezor works great using the mytrezor site.  Electrum, which I have used for years, is also working great without a hardware wallet in play!

When I open Electrum 2.7.0 and then attempt to setup a hardware wallet on Electrum I get the flag: No Hardware Support  ...... found.  Please install relevant libraries python-trezor (as an example).

I downloaded Trezor 0.7.4.tar.gz and attempted to install it using pip.  It looked like it was installing but then threw errors.  I'll paste them below:

It seems pretty obvious to me that my Linux OS is missing some library (s) or dependencies.  I would appreciate some help if there are any linux users out there with some ideas.  I am not afraid to tinker at all because I can snapshot before trying anything.

I am stuck, anybody??

Cython = no luck  Still can't get trezor-python to install completely

two steps to try in the next few

1.  Try running Trezor + Electrum on a bare metal Debian box (ditch the VM to see if it changes anything).  I have a Debian machine to use with a nice backup sector image.  I can write back the system if I don't like the outcome.  Its small < 100 Gig so maybe an hour to write it back afterwards.

2.  Might build a Ubuntu VM since several here seem to be having luck with it.  I prefer to use Debian but I can live with Ubuntu for BTC only via a VM for the task.  Which Ubuntu flavors are working well for you guys?  Ubuntu and Debian both make it easy to locate drivers for this particular machine.

I am trying to build a nice linux system because I want to connect Trezor + Electrum via TOR.  I use TOR and Electrum with no problems, but now I need the hardware wallet in the mix.  I'll get there but its a fight for some reason.


If any new readers come across this thread and can throw some light on it, please do so!

Mint is a good option if you want maximum stability and compatibility. I like the general relative lack of annoying nonsense with mint. Everything seems to always just work. The xfce desktop environment is very low overhead also.

What do you guys think. Do you think I could make a living as what andreas antonopoulos is to bitcoin except for trezor?

Sure.
The key to success is consistency.

So: DO IT!

Owned trezor for a long time now - a very good investment.
Ran into a couple of small problems, one that got me on the verge of freaking out... mytrezor, electrum, etc. just couldn't recognize my trezor anymore.  The fix was just updating the driver after the trezor software updates (when needed).  Just putting it out there, found it on their helpful documentation.

yeah, I ran into this one frequently, too. Don't forget python-trezor update.

I have been stuck on something for weeks now.  Let me paste a link to a thread in Electrum here.  I asked about this a few posts up in this thread too.  You sound like you can really relate to issues with loading trezor software.  Using Linux?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1637312.msg16508361#msg16508361

I cannot figure out how to get trezor installed in Debian.  See my post for reference if you have the time or inclination to help.


Guys, don't get me wrong here.  Which forum would I go to in order to post a BTC reward (if such a post is within TOS here)?  I am not making that offer yet because I am still trying to get this done via reading and studying.  Getting close to a dead end though.  Trezor works flawlessly on mytrezor.  Electrum works perfectly on Debian too.  How to get them to play together?  If I can't load the trezor software I am not going to make it happen.

Just checking in on this thread.  I got this licked finally!!  Started from scratch and installed hidapi without any errors at last!!  For some reason this was a tough one on a Debian 8 VM.  Anyway, all good now!!

Yep, perseverance always wins with these jobs. Glad you got it dealt with.

for use with electrum, I once ended up copying (or symlinking) the "trezorlib" folder (python module, I guess) from the python-trezor (https://github.com/trezor/python-trezor.git) into my electrum folder.

Not sure, but maybe this helps in your case?

EDIT: sorry, didn't read that you solved the issue. congrats!

What do you guys think about the U2F vs. TOTP "debate" (not much of a debate yet, but hoping to start one)?

Also, constructive criticism welcome!
