Trezor is a hardware wallet for Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies. It's a single purpose computer which secures private keys and does the transaction signing as well. Unlike a USB stick or a card with engraved private keys, it allows you to visually verify that the address and amount to be sent are correct, and that the transaction fees do not exceed a standard amount. There's tons and tons of stuff over the internet about it you should have googled first. Here's some will help you. http://www.bitcoin-exchange-berlin.com/2014/03/trezor-makes-using-bitcoins-safe-for.htmlReview: Bitcoin 'Vault' TrezorOfficial Docs.

Thanks! Would anyone happen to have one? Would you recommend it? For sure i would absolutely recommend it i haven't used it though. It used to cost a lot when slush pool guys came up with it but it's affordable these days. So i would say go for it and check out this unboxing and review video on it.

They had some nice specials on Black Friday, so you missed out! If you worried about security, this hardware wallet, is the one to buy. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

The most amazing feature of Trezor is that you can use it on a compromised computer and still your bitcoin will be safe. So it is not only convenient to use, but also very safe.

It is safe BTC wallet, that is the main point. After let say 8 years you can change it to new one Trezor, because there is a medium level risk of electronical and/or mechanical parts damage.

The good news is even if your Trezor is not functioning well, you can recover all your bitcoin with a seed. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

They aren't too expensive and well worth the price to secure the bitcoins in my control.
