My Trezor arrived today, very pleased with it. I'm far from being too bright when it comes to tech devices, I could never figure out how to use an iPod I got for a gift years ago and wound up getting rid of it. The Trezor however was a piece of cake.
No actual instructions come with it so was a bit confused where to start but logged onto the website and there was a button at the bottom that said new Trezor owner, so I clicked it and it took me to the setup and pretty much walked me through everything.
From there I setup my pin which was pretty straight forward, it's sort of an encoding type thing in that you can't see numbers on your computer scree, you can see numbers on the Trezor so you use the Trezor as the key.
After that I setup my seed.
There is an option to setup a passphrase, however after reading some forums online from people who have forgotten their passphrase it seems like it may be oversecurity. If the whole point of the seed is to recover your wallet, why add another layer that if forgotten makes the seed irrelevant as you can no longer use the seed to recover your wallet.
I've since made two transfers from Coinbase and Electrum wallets I have and they showed up very quickly. I'm going to keep things simple at first and not open up multiple accounts, I've heard of some people who create multiple accounts and then are not able to recover all of them at a later date trying to use Electrum or Multibit saying it only recognizes account 3 or account 9 but not all the accounts or not the one with their coin so going to keep it simple for now.
If anyone is on the fence about getting one of these but think your too stupid to set it up, if I can set it up you can set it up.
I should add it arrived really quickly as well, I had it within 3 days after ordering via DHL.
I'll do a more in depth post later but I'm kinda stoned, got a headache and gotta run to take a buddy out for Thai for his birthday so I'll do it another time. Later peeps.
