DIY bitcoin wallet like trezor with a raspberry pi zero

The trezor is a hardware bitcoin wallet made by satoshilabs used to secure online transactions. The security reside in the fact that the private key used to sign a transaction never leave the device.

The raspberry pi zero is a very cheap and small but yet powerful computer. You can buy one for about 5$. It is used on numerous projects by ton of developers and hobbyists around the world.

Features:

Low cost parts

Use the original trezor code. Only a thin layer is used to adapt the code to the pi zero Linux platform.
All code modifications are open source, like the original trezor code.
100% Compatible with trezor web wallet to perform transactions.
Use the hardware random number generator of the raspberry pi for more security.

Firmware is on the sd card. The passphrase is not stored on it and the host computer cannot read it directly.

Excellent work! Does anybody know of a cheap source of Pi Zeros in the UK, Amazon and Ebay seem very quite pricey I don't want to pay $20 when the rest of trhe world is paying $5.
