interesting topic, must say that I was not aware that Trezor does not have any secure element inside
That's the reason the trezor is highly vulnerable to physical attacks.
The trezor needs further protection mechanisms (e.g. strong password) to be sure that an evil maid attack won't make you lose your coins.
but what they are selling, just a piece of hardware with a software open-source light wallet installed on it?
what is the main difference between that solution, and same open-source software on some old laptop, that is not used for anything else, just to have access to your wallet?
why the Trezor is better (just asking, I do not think that it is not) from old laptop? and old laptop sitting somewhere is the basement could be not recognized as hardware wallet, or it would be harder than seeing Trezor as a wallet
what is a main Trezor advantage, in your opinion?
