Will the Armory Wallet be made compatible with the Trezor hardware wallet?

[Carlton Banks]

You could host your own full node, and electrum server (or jelectrum).  I've been asking the folks at mycelium to allow a SPV connection to your own full node, this would also work

Ah, I'd not thought of that. Here are the instructions for setting up an Electrum server: https://www.sky-ip.org/configure-electrum-server-debian-ubuntu.html

At a glance, I'm not sure whether I care enough right now to attempt setting up an Electrum server, re-indexing the bitcoin blockchain using a different config option is not very enticing. It's good that the option does exist though, thanks AussieHash

Trezor + MultibitHD + Full Node on localhost might also work. However it still SPV connects to other nodes, and only uses the first HD account

No Trezor for me until I have Armory integration with multiple wallets.
Oh, and manually choosing inputs too.

Short answer:  yes

I was actually planning on getting in touch with them soon, to discuss some way we could help each other out.

Is there any chance of supporting the Ledger (HW.1) also? If so that would be awesome too!!

I completely agree... I see no need to buy a Trezor without Armory integration.

But devs probably have a lot in their hands. I'm patient, tho It will be good for both Trezor and Armory when they're both compatible.

No, no trezor for me, not even donated!
:-P

(The new wallet format has to launch first for trezor integration, which is in the works already.
Yes, let's donate some to the Armory team: https://bitcoinarmory.com/contact/)

On the other hand for myself I see no need to continue to use Armory until Trezor is supported. Using two computers for cold storage is a right pain in the butt and feels so outdated. I will be among the first to start using Armory again when I see a new build released with full Trezor support.

Everyone has his own priorities, concerning dedicated hardware, multiple wallets, size, security and costs.
Armory + Trezor should solve this for many individual preferences though.

Incidentally, I have discovered that out of all the options available, there is no possibility to use a Trezor with wallet software that protects your extended public key and/or public key seed (not sure which of those each piece of wallet software uses). This is as a result of the non-decentralised aspects of those wallets; even Multibit must reveal the pertaining extended public key to the bitcoin core nodes that it uses to validate each transaction.

Armory is the only prospect for using a Trezor privately, particularly important if you would also like to use the Trezor for authenticating logins. I'd like to use a hardware wallet for the long term, but if there's any question as to whether Trezor integration will happen, then I'll have to start thinking about alternatives. Can we get some kind of commitment that the integration will happen? I am willing to help test etc

Note that MultiBit HD doesn't actually give your extended public key to the Core nodes to get the relevant transactions.
It DOES give information about the addresses (in the form of a bloom filter) but the extended public key never leaves your machine.

In practice Jim, that's not such a great consolation, but I do understand the difference: nodes resolving SPV bloom filter requests can determine all the previous used addresses that pertain to a given xpub, but not every address that will be used in future (as would be the case if the xpub was shared with the node)

any update on this? I've just bought a Trezor, is Armory going to be compatible with it soon/ever?

[Ente]

+1.
I'm starting to recommend Trezor+Electrum to people now. Although it's worse than Armory in most aspects, I can't recommend Armory to anyone any more except the die-hard early-adopter, which of course doesn't need recommendations any more.

This feels much worse than a sudden end of a great FOSS project: it's a slow fade into insignificance.
Which, maybe, is exactly what ATI was planning to do.

slush recently mentioned in this thread on reddit that soon a Bitpay Bitcore full node will support Trezor. If you do not want to run your own Bitcore full node (will need a laptop running linux) there will be an option in myTrezor.com to connect to public Bitcore servers like localbitcoinschain.com, insight.bitpay.com or blockexplorer.com instead of the SatoshiLabs servers. Even setting up your own Bitcore node on a spare linux laptop would be easier than running an Electrum server.

[Ente]

That's good news, thanks!

Decentralize all the things!

Nonetheless, im still looking forward to Trezor support in Armory

You might be waiting a long time. When you can run myTrezor with your own Bitcore node at home will that not take care of lack of privacy concerns?

[Ente]

Yes, but we all are here because we insist on the very best bitcoin wallet. Armory. :-)
Trezor with a decentralized node is great and important too. And not everyone believes they need the whole Armory featureset.

Still, I'll be waiting for the Armory Trezor integration.

If I am not mistaken Trezor guys made a bid on developing an open source hardware based on RISC-V ..

since I am just a scholar interested in Unix history... I was wondering ...

When Linus Torvalds first heard about GPG? (GNU Compiler dated 1987, Linus OS 1991 and GPG 1999)
