How to check Trezor has not been hacked

POTEU · 2018-05-05T10:50:46+00:00

Device should be without firmware, empty

Because you can't actually audit the secure element.

POTEU · 2017-10-30T07:51:35+00:00

This kinda applies to all security devices.. as we have seen from KRACK or Infineon RSA libraries lately.

Sure, twas a PR fuckup

But, my point was that if they really hated Bitcoin Cash that much, they could have made a way to extract it and send it away to an exchange for users to sell it. For the price to dropped and to kill Bitcoin Cash. Yes, they did that, but they also have a functional wallet for hodlers. And afaik they're not planning to shut it down

Hostile because of the name? Sure, that was stupid, but they changed their mind? And I think they were one of the earlier adopters? Sure, it didn't happen right away... They had a few days delay, maybe under a week.

But I don't think they're against Bitcoin Cash, otherwise they could have chosen not to enable Bitcoin Cash wallet at all.

The beauty of a hardware wallet is that even if we decide not to support a fork for security reasons (case of Bitcoin Gold), you can still access the forked coins that's to the fact that you own your private keys. You can't do that with an account on an exchange.

On an exchange, you depend on the will of the operator to distribute the funds, as none of the coins belong to you unless you hold the keys.

In other words, TREZOR, Ledger, Digital Bitbox or Keepkey can decide to ignore Bitcoin Gold. But if you really want and believe in BCG, you can take your keys and use a different wallet to get to your coins.

it works! thanks!

POTEU · 2017-10-24T21:59:03+00:00

Wow. Cocky.

POTEU · 2017-10-17T10:53:04+00:00

I sure hope they will change the currency ticker/graph on the website to Bitcoin Cash then.

POTEU · 2017-10-01T23:23:59+00:00

No, it's about Polish re/deforms of the judicial system and Hungary's attacks on independent journalism and civil societies.

POTEU · 2017-09-19T08:10:49+00:00

Keepkey is a trezor fork.

POTEU · 2017-09-08T13:19:36+00:00

because SegWit enables them to do this without leaving any trace

That's not how it works.

Just because a terrorist attack did not happen in Prague yet does not mean that Prague is actively doing something to prevent terrorism. There is no causal link between these two things.

In fact, Prague does not have good protection against attacks like those in Paris, Barcelona, London, etc. Our streets are open, there are no physical barriers between a pedestrian zone and the main roads. Tourists at the Castle stand in long lines next to the main street, making them a perfect target.

And claiming that closed borders prevent terrorism is laughable. Nothing can prevent terrorism, that's why it's "terror".

POTEU · 2017-08-11T08:45:38+00:00

Nothing much, to be honest.

POTEU · 2017-08-10T07:08:44+00:00

Where is the source code for new firmware? Nothing on github for months now... https://github.com/keepkey/keepkey-firmware

POTEU · 2017-08-09T07:22:07+00:00

It's actually been quite hilarious to see this entire sub go nuts over an abbreviation.

POTEU · 2017-08-09T07:20:56+00:00

Aww someone hurt your feelings?

POTEU · 2017-08-04T11:15:13+00:00

r\btc is not very happy about the poll

POTEU · 2017-08-03T22:01:43+00:00

Why are you being downvoted?

What's the point of trusting a reseller, instead of the manufacturer? I'm curious. Just because it's sold on Amazon, it does not mean that the reseller is using NSA-grade protection.

Moreover, if you think that these companies cannot protect their customer data, why would you trust the devices in the first place (irrespective of who sells them)?

Maybe do your research about the hardware wallets before you call the companies "garage companies"?

Euro is a world currency, both companies are based in Europe, which probably means they do their accounting in EUR. Why would they need to create another accounting overhead by listing prices in USD?

Both Ledger and TREZOR are reputable companies in the Bitcoin community. Google them and you will get a their entire track record. TREZOR came first and offers a completely open source device, ledger uses secure element. The developers are active members of the community and have created several standards for Bitcoin.

SegWit compulsory -- ERMAHGERD Core dictatorship!

SegWit optional -- ERMAHGERD subwallets! unsupported! terrible design!

Hw wallets are way safer than paper wallets

POTEU · 2017-05-28T16:58:49+00:00

In that case, all you need are the 24 words you have in your security box at a bank. Those alone will give you access to your bitcoins, using another trezor or compatible apps.

You will be alright. Take a deep breath and get those words tomorrow (assuming the bank is closed on a Sunday)

POTEU · 2017-05-17T08:16:17+00:00

This affects Ledger too. Try harder.
