micropython-lib VS trezor-firmware

This is the current version of my code (excuse the mess it's become..), adapted from https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/blob/7128d423c2e7c0309ac17a1e6ba873b909b24fcc/micropython/bluetooth/aioble/examples/temp_client.py

STM32WB55 running MicroPython sounds like it'd suit. Should be fine for the power budget and aioble gives you one of the best BLE libraries on any platform. Documentation is generally good, though BLE is a little light (with some good examples and an active Discord channel!).

Pico (non-W) doesn't have upip (or mip, as that replaces upip now) or urequests because it doesn't have internet access required by them. In theory, you can download urequests from: https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/blob/master/python-ecosys/urequests/urequests.py or build your own MP image with it enabled. I don't know if it'll work as you want it to but it's worth a try.

Using SD-card on ESP8266 was more challenging. upip.install('sdcard') does not work.

But ChatGPT truly helped and suggested I find it in Github.

I don't think there's a mip list command or something like that. So your best bet is to look at the subdirectories in https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib for a list of installable packages.

Do give it another try if you get a chance; I'd be genuinely interested in hearing about your experience. Be sure to check out the awesome list and micropython-lib if you're looking to fill gaps. There are still many holes but they're rapidly being filled in.

Next thing to have is a hard wallet if you haven’t already like a Ledger or a Trezor and let it sit there. That’s the safest thing to do! Also, there’s always been a risk of KYC (Know Your Customer) on CEXes as mentioned several times. This was all meant to be decentralized and keep our identity under wraps and retain that anonymity that crypto was originally designed for… and you get a hold of your keys.

where "x.y.z" is the VERSION of trezor (aka TrezorCTL) you are trying to install. See the version history when picking a version. "Oldest" is not necessarily "best". You'll want to pick a version that was released around the same time your Trezor-1 was last updated.

I've purchased a Trezor model T from what I believe is the official Trezor website (https://trezor.io/). Is it rational for me to have a slight fear that it isn't a legit trezor and maybe the chip is compromised, possibly being able to send off my seed to an unknown party?
