Trezor Support

[vertoe]

What's the status of Trezor hardware support? Electrum 2.0 works with Trezor, what are the plans for encompass?

I'm asking because we are currently putting alot of work into electrum porting and maintainance, but it looks like encompass is the better product in the end, and we might join our effords and work on this together.

@vertoe - thank you! I think we'll see the two shine in different areas. Currently the plugins are disabled in Encompass, but this is a high priority. We'll add a milestone now of Encompass 1.0 for the electrum 2.0 integration, with my best estimate for a delivery in mid-late April.

The problem with Trezor support in Encompass is that Trezor only currently supports BTC, LTC, DRK, DOGE, and NMC. Encompass supports BTC, LTC, DRK, MZC, VIA. The Encompass team would have to disable Trezor support for MZC and VIA and allow it for the others.

Another option would be for Encompass to request Trezor to add VIA and MZC to their supported coins - it is a simple pull request to do to https://github.com/trezor/trezor-mcu/blob/master/firmware/coins.c

... and assign a BIP44 coin type to MZC and VIA....

[guruvan]

@ELM4Ever all currencies in Encompass are BIP44 registered coins.

The MZC Trezor support will happen, though I don't yet have a timeframe - that was the plan to put a PR in there. Also, I'm sure that we'll support the plugins on a chain-by-chain basis for most, as many of the existing plugins for Electrum are BTC specific.

[ELM4Ever]

Agree, but not all coins are supported by Trezor. They have to have their specifics incorporated in their "coins.c" file (see above comment).

[vertoe]

Adding them to coins.c is not enough afaik.

Again - Trezor support can and will be added, as time permits. It's a high priority, but we do have plans ahead of this. AFAICT it should not be necessary to support all Encompass coins with Trezor to enable the plugin for certain coins.

wrong button! Re openend as this is still on the roadmap!

PS. I've personally been eyeing that trezor code for some time....for more than a few reasons ;)

[guruvan]

Also - we'll need to determine how easily we can support the blockexplorer requirements

@Kefkius might know off the top whether the mazawatch code on mazachain will support this out of the box, or if we'd need to enhance/update or just put up another.

insight for mazacoin? we are also working on bip44 integration for insight, maybe this is yet another project we should work together on. we should share contact details already ;-)

[guruvan]

Ping me on IRC ( guruvan ) and we'll do so - I'll be there all day - and yes BIP44 for insight is definitely something we can work on together - email is guruvan at maza.club

Fixed in #50 ;)
