RE: Build yourself a Trezor

in #trezor8 years ago (edited)

I'm about to buy a Trezor. My biggest question entrusting my coin to it is what happens if the internals of the Trezor are rendered unusable from static shock, EMP a house fire etc? Would the wallets become unrecoverable?

I'm mostly curious if you can export the private keys or does it only give you the 12 word brain wallet? If so is the brain wallet useless if the internal seed is lost?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I checked Trezor's FAQ and it's possible to recover to a new Trezor or other compatible wallet using the 24 word brain key.

Sort:  

No you can write a sentence or a group of words on a piece of paper and with that recover the Trezor. But please verify that, it has been a while.
