Trezor has very low power consumption, I would be very surprised if that's the issue...

I bought a USB powered HUB + a new cable, now it works flawlessly.

Smiley
hmmmmm  Smiley Wink works it with the old cable but with the new active hub, too?

I am playing around now with it, really awesome, maybe I find time later to test it!

Does anyone know if it is possible to name the Accounts?
Right now my account is called "Account #1". Can this name be changed?

Well. i tried several. The short blue one worked on no PC my nexus 5 cable did on one. I hope the hub does the trick!

Danke Wink

I will go buy one now. Will report back in a few hours if that was the case Wink

Are unencrypted wallets really that common? I thought it was common practice to encrypt everything.

Mining is a good way to start out to get your first bitcoins. Offering a service is something to look at as well, something you know wil be worth it and that people are looking for is great and stating you accept bitcoin as payment.

How is mining EASIER than just buying with the money you'd invest in electricity and hardware?
1207  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: [ESHOP launched] Trezor: Bitcoin hardware wallet on: August 06, 2014, 01:49:27 PM
Really weird that it would work without a problem on the other computer but not on mine and my laptop.

In few days we'll release Trezor Bridge, a replacement for Trezor Plugin, which should fix these weird issues...

Ok, I will try it then again.

Thanks for the help anyway!
1208  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: [ESHOP launched] Trezor: Bitcoin hardware wallet on: August 06, 2014, 01:31:20 PM
the trezor it only shows this and keeps "loading" without ever stopping:

Please try to disconnect Trezor, press Forget device and plug it in once again. Sometimes drivers get stuck on fresh installation.

Tried that multiple times already on 3 different browsers.

Even installed the msi again and used the "repair" function of the msi.

Really weird that it would work without a problem on the other computer but not on mine and my laptop.
1209  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: [ESHOP launched] Trezor: Bitcoin hardware wallet on: August 06, 2014, 01:17:17 PM
I just received the TREZOR and wanted to setup everything.

System: Win 7 with browser Firefox and Google Chrome

Installed the windows msi bridge.
Opened the mytrezor.com
plugged in the trezor for the first time
It installed an update
now when I connect the trezor it only shows this and keeps "loading" without ever stopping:



I worte the support, but maybe someone had the same problem and found a solution?

PS: I plugged the trezor in the nearly same built PC of my brother and it worked there without hassle!

Thanks. Is he trustworthy?

He is pretty much one of the most trustworthy persons out there.
BUT he is an asshole Wink
That being said he may laugh at your for being a newby but he will keep his word 100%

Do you know if he provides a collateral in escrow?

Most likely not .But as he owns about 300k-500k bitcoins in semi-liquid stock + XXXk in real BTC (most likely) I don't think it is neccessary.

Have done multiple escrow trades as well as tons of positive feedback. Always open to trades/escrows. And I am always online and fast!

But if the amount of ether sold continues to get bigger, i mean there is almost a month left, if at the end of this sale there are 200 millions of ether sold, what would you do? do you think a new brand alt coin will support a 100,000 btc price? this ipo can get trapped on his own success. at least for investors, not for the owners.

Yes, that was my theory as well. Also the reason I wagered that >25000 BTC will be invested (even suggested that up to 50000 will be invested!)

My rationale behind this is the following, the amount of BTC that needs to be pumped into this coin after the launch will be enourmous, if now all people buy in the IPO, this number gets bigger and bigger in addition to that everyone already bought that was interested! So who will be the buyers that buy at over IPO prices? 

I don't know that, and most others don't either!

this has only two outcomes, first is that as seen on many ipos, investors will be selling his shares at loss without felling bad because bitcoin will be 5 or 10 x more (and if bitcoin remains the same it can happen too) triying to get back a portion of what they blowed... and second the only way to see an increase on the price of this ether is that the project indeed sucess and ether starts to be consumed by real needs on the network not only speculation.

The third outcome being that ether never launches what it promissed.

the fourth outcome being that ether is a disapointment and price plummtes even though BTC price doesn't move.

that two options are englobed on my first option.. i was refer to investors selling at loss due to any reason or no matter what reason was why it failed.

indeed the third outcome can be true, but i would say that ethereum never launches what he promised and never put even the shares live and all get scammed with all the investment.  Cheesy

They would be the most hated group of people in the crypto world if that happens but legally they are not required to launch this thing. If you read their TOS it reads like the rules of the worst company in the world Wink

We have about 1490 CHA in our address and nothing has been spent so far. So if you have ideas for bounties just propose them!
1216  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning on: August 06, 2014, 12:12:45 AM
And how do you know ethereum guys are not inflating the ether sold ? I mean they can fake the amount or autobuy their ether.

Faking the amount is not possible, as all BTC are still present. https://blockchain.info/address/36PrZ1KHYMpqSyAQXSG8VwbUiq2EogxLo2

(Not saying they don't send their own BTC there to inflate! Even though they would need to have a shitton BTC themselve!)

I wonder if MP is still offering his 5000/1 futures contracts?

2.5:1 and yes he still is!! Don't know were you got 5000:1 from!

Where is this happening?

You can get in contact with MP here : http://bitcoin-assets.com/

IRC #bitcoin-assets he is squatting in that channel like 16 hours a day Tongue
1219  Economy / Economics / Re: Selling call options on your bitcoins on: August 05, 2014, 10:50:24 PM
I just sold a call option to a forum member. Deal was by private negotiation. It is not that hard.

Curious as to how you all priced the option?   What sort of assumptions etc.  I am assuming given the unknowns using something like Black-Sholes would not be useful.

Thanks,
Jack


If you are intersted in pricing BTC options, this thread could be a good read for you!

That's on BTC.  Do they let you lend out USD similar to bitfinex?  Any idea what the rates have been like?

Not yet but it is "planned". But if they keep the same system as with BTC, they won't be very successful!
