phil can chime in with more  info

BTW i make no money off this

LP12, welcome to the forums!

these compacs put the fun back in BTC mining.

5 compacs here  @ 16.x gh/s on a rPi model B and a superbpag 70 watt hub and they have run for like 2 months straight out absolutely no problems. run cooling when you crank them up

grab cgminer-gekko on the 1st page of this thread. runs on win7x64 Pro, win7 home 32bit, rPi B, and of coarse *NIX. plus win XP 32bit (get the special XP driver), Vista, and others.

that did it.

thanks!

ok idiotic question time.

so Im trying to run armory, ultimately to import a wallet from 2012.

my blockchain is on drive d "d:\bitcoin-blockchain". core is in its default location "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe"

I ran armory went to settings, I pointed the "bitcoin install dir" option to "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" and "bitcoin home dir" to "d:\bitcoin-blockchain"

I have core running. then I fire up armory. and it sits there saying "armory is offline"

what am I doing wrong? does it have to do with the blockchain locations? I do NOT want to dl another blockchain just for armory, core and armory can share correct? an both run at the same time?

cool, thanks

figured it would be straight forward but ya never know..

so..

i have an armory wallet from 2012. my core wallet says I transferred some coins to it. i did a lot of moving coins around back then from wallet to wallet as, well, there wasnt much else to do with them at that time. so now i want to recover the wallet and see whats in there, if anything.

can i just install armory, get it up and running and just drop a 2012 wallet in there? just do  the armory equivalent of "--rescan"?

sorry if this is all in a README but i just figured id toss this out in case there are any obvious "gotchas" i need to watch out for. havent even downloaded it yet heh

many (most?) laptop usb ports will not give enough power to go much past stock speeds.

to try, crank the voltage pot up a bit, but make sure you have some cooling. past stock speeds compacs need a bit of a breeze.

I dont really trust any phone or pc enough for longish term storage of btc, even though I have got away with just that in the past.

now I keep a little on my phone for spending using mycelium, but paper wallets and trezor are the go to solutions for main storage needs.

BTW rooted phones would be far less secure than stock, all else being equal.

ouch.

did the "off" switch for that 150ph break or something? heh

Im curious about this too.

i sent a small amount in. if its a donation, so be it. i like the wallet and the fact that my trezor works with it.

gonna snag me trusty 5.5 before someone else snarfs it up again

+5.5 = vapourminer

I still have a couple dozen old wallet backups from back then. mainly of my current wallet but there are some other wallets for experiments ( to xfer between them to see how it works etc) plus litecoin and namecoin wallets. I just copied them everywhere for backup purposes as I had no formal backup system like I do now. back then there was no password on the wallet so they are in password protected RAR and ZIPs etc.

gotta run em all through and start labeling them "btc.zero.balance.wallet.dat" and such.

Ill be here eventually.

just gotta mod one of my 5 compacs with a stupid big heatsink and fire up a separate cgminer-gekko instance for this. its all running on a rPi B and a superbpag 70 watt hub.

my 5 just laze around at 16 ghs each with a 120mm pointed in their general direction. Ill crank one up and point it here.

deleted the trezor device and driver from control panel -> devices and printers, let it be rediscovered and viola! its back.

happiness..

yup.

initial problem was probably due to the short red cable that came with it being intermittent. once I used another cable the trezor was fine on the other pc and the phone.

still isnt detected by the main pc, even though it powers up and lists the trezor in with the computers devices (with the printer, scanners and such). its just the chrome extension and bridge wont see it.

ill probably reinstall FF, the usb drivers, chrome and see if it persists.

its more annoying than anything else.

its not a problem with the trezor, it fires up fine on my htpc and phone. just this rig. odd as its the rig I initially set it up on.

the firewall wouldnt mess with USB ports would it?

tried front and back ports, the bride in FF and chrome with its special extension. both fail to find it at all. just stays on the "connect your trezor now" screen. on the htpc I entered the pin and I was in my account no problem.

yippee another project  

i dont really want another wallet. I just wanted to manage the trezor on my (or any other) computer, like add another account or whatnot. be cool to show folks how it works.

is the trezor bridge the correct way?

hard to think this system cant run it. its pretty standard.

just tried to use my trezor with the bridge from mytrezor.com. after multiple failed downloads the one copy that did make it down errored on install. then tried on firefox. same deal. the finished dl errors everywhere on install (cant write blah blah).

latest firefox and a brand new chrome install, win7 64 bit pro.

computer runs flawlessly with everything else. its this computer.

trezor runs fine on my phone, a note 4 with mycelium.

so whats up. user error I assume but..

yeah I finally grabbed a trenzor hardware wallet a few months ago. most coins are in paper wallets with a little on coinbase just to have it already there if I want to jump on something quick.
