BTC NEWS: What's New Is Expected In Trezor 2 Hardware Purse
Most crypto-currency users are trying to find a safe and secure way of storing coins. And this is normal, because to keep funds on the exchange - the decision, to put it mildly, is not the most reliable. Recently, hardware wallets have been very popular among devotees of crypto currency. Recently, the manufacturer of the first hardware wallet Trezor - the company Satoshi Labs - announced that in the near future it is planned to issue a purse Trezor 2. What will the new version be different from the original one?
News about the launch of a new hardware wallet is always encouraging. When Satoshi Labs introduced its first Trezor wallet, he was greeted with open arms. And it's not surprising, because the hardware purse is an excellent solution for protecting and storing bitcoins, and at a fairly favorable price. Trezor has become widespread and has become the benchmark for solutions of other manufacturers. However, the company does not stop there and is looking for ways to further optimize its products. As a result, a few months ago, a pilot model for Trezor 2 was created.
The development of Trezor 2 has been going on for a long time. It took a lot of time to optimize the existing model. Over the past year and a half, the original Trezor wallet has already gone through several serious software updates. Therefore, it will be difficult to jump over the original device, although the company is aimed at precisely this.
Overview of TREZOR 2
One of the most notable updates is that the Trezor 2 will be equipped with a full-color touch screen, which in itself is already an interesting solution.
In addition, Trezor 2 will have a microSD card slot that can be used for separate data storage or as a method of storing a copy of private keys in offline mode. And last but not least, there are some serious changes to the device's processor. A faster processor is always good, despite the fact that the original Trezor can not be called slow. Nevertheless, the most serious changes will occur inside.
First of all, there will be a new set of tools TREZOR Core. All users working now with Trezor 2 will be able to participate in the development of the project code using the Python language. Additionally, if desired, developers can create a custom firmware version. This is very similar to a custom ROM on an Android smartphone.
All these updates are serious enough for the Trezor purse. The participation of community members in code optimization and the introduction of new functions is quite an unexpected decision. On the other hand, the company does not assume responsibility for the security of third-party code.
At the moment it is not clear when Trezor 2 wallet will be available for pre-order and what will be its price. The cost of first-generation devices is 99 dollars. As expected, the next version will cost a little more. Probably in the coming weeks SatoshiLabs will provide more information.
