any news about when we can use bitcoin cash in trezor?
I was able to modify slightly the
Electron-Cash Github clone to make it work with my Trezor. And I was able to successfully send a transaction using my Trezor on the new BCH network.
1. Go to
beta-wallet.trezor.io and upgrade your Trezor with firmware 1.5.1 - which allows your device to recognize the new "Bitcoin-Cash" coin, with the BIP44 ID of 145.
2. Click on the "splitting tool" link (same beta-wallet.trezor.io website) and follow the instructions. Make sure you send your BCH to an address in your Trezor - despite the warning (go back to the previous tab and select one).
3. Update your github.com/trezor/python-trezor library to the latest commit - if you don't have it - install it. You may also need to clone and install github.com/LedgerHQ/btchip-python...
4. Once that is done, Git clone the above Electron-cash (electrum) repo (for linux and OS X - sorry, I don't speak Windows...)
5. Modify line 656 of lib/keystore.py to change the 0' for 145' - and save.
6. python electron-cash - and follow prompts like you would normally do (if on Linux, you may have to add udev rules inetc/udev - follow the instructions on google).
Wow, that is great...congrats on getting it to work. Modifying command lines is way too scary for me though (I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to coding or cryptography). As dumb as it sounds it still makes me nervous to even update the firmware. As much as I want to give this a shot, I am going to wait until there is official support for non-computer pros...
I have definitely been checking the trezor.io blog multiple times per day seeing if there are updates on bitcoin cash.
I still can't believe we got essentially free currency (if both chains make it)
