Is it easy to set up to use with electrum? I have never used that client before... I have been waiTing to see whIch clients shOuld be easiest to use with Trezor, as I have jusT been using the web wallet for that portion of my holdings

It took me 4-6 hours of troubleshooting to get Electrum 2.0 working built from source on my Mac. I didn't try on Windows, but I imagine it is more difficult. If you're using Linux, it shouldn't be that bad, follow the "Development version" instructions here. You also have to have the python-trezor python module installed. Using it is as straightforward as Electrum with its own wallet, once you've satisfied the dependencies.

People not familiar with a shell, git, python, etc should probably wait for 2.0 release binaries. Especially if on windows (just a hunch, I might be wrong, cygwin might help).



Yikes...I think I will wait...that sounds way too complicated for me.   I need to read "coding for dummies"   is that an available book? lol
