Title: How would Trezor work with Bitshares?
Post by: JonnyB on September 10, 2017, 04:12:30 pm
There's been much talk of Trezor integration in the past and it's certainly possible.

But how would it work? Would it work natively with the trezor.io website as shown in the image below or would it work natively with the webwallet/lightwallet to protect your private key/s ?

Might get complex because of multiple private keys and many tokens

That's the big question .. someone can certainly make a distinct page for bitshares/trezor integration .. but ideally, we would be integrated into trezor.io for sure.
I haven't heard back from satoshi labs for a while .. not sure they are interested in this.
If anyone can get a hold on them and convinces them that they could profit from it too .. let me know .. 80% of the hardware code is done already

When you say 80% of the hardware code is done already, what do you mean? because bitshares shares the same wif private key format as bitcoin or because of what got built at that Prague hackathon?

Back in Prague, we managed to build all the trezor backend code to successfully sign a transaction with a transfer operation for steem. Since Steem and BitShares use the same underlying technology, adding transfers from bitshares is .. like .. done. What's missing is a frontend, a team to build it and funding.
