In January, Monero will hard-fork to begin to support RingCT (optionally until September). It will also introduce dynamic fee transactions.

The existing monero trezor firmware does not support dynamic fee transactions, nor does it support RingCT transactions. Will transactions generated via the Monero Trezor firmware be rejected by the monero network due to an incompatible fee structure? Or will it continue to be useful until the September hardfork when RingCT transactions become mandatory?

RingCT is not mandatory until September 2017. Compiled v0.10.1 last night, and V0313 experimental Trezor still saw the proper balance with the new node. Have not tested sending a new transaction yet. Without the guru, we will probably need to wait until 2017-01-10 before we know the truth.

Be sure you have tested the conversion of 24 BIP 39 seed words to Electrum seed words to recover without the need for a Trezor. Test the recovery process in advance. I'm sticking with V0313 with a simplewallet --hardware-wallet 0 until judgement time.

Read NoodleDoodle's comments here, the Monero H/W wallet guru.

The edit dEBRUYNE recommended below to Monero v0.10.1 source code appears to breathe new life into Trezor V0313 Monero firmware. This has the potential to be a stop gap solution that might last until September 2017.

    Could you let us know if sending works? If not, could you try sending with a compiled daemon that removes || req.do_not_relay from this line?

  • Reconstruction of the Electrum seed words using "./trezorctl recover_mnemonic 0 "" English" 24_BIP39_words worked fine for seeding ./monero-wallet-cli --restore-deterministic-wallet. Sent a transaction from a Trezor. The signed transaction is hung in a pool after an hour's wait. Will wait until tomorrow before recompiling. Noticed a few transactions in the past took the better part of a day to clear in the past.

    Had to perform rescan_bc to unstick the Trezor transaction that never cleared after 12 hours. Recompiled code as requested. A Trezor transaction successfully completed within a few minutes when using transaction_new with a mixin of 3:-)

  • Good to hear. What does transaction_new mean though? Simply a transaction performed with the "adjusted" daemon?

  • Brain fart, meant transfer_new that is visible within the V0313 simplewallet when one issues a help.
