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.

exactly, kinda tossed them around like popcorn heh

thanks.

I dont even know if I still have the laptop I ran that Ubuntu wallet on. might be in the shed somewhere but I recycled a few laptops and towers a couple years back. but I do pull drives from anything I recycle and toss them in the Stuff box. got a couple RLL and MFM 5.25s in that box.

Ive been smiling all day. my wife too.

no, slush is a pool. it still exists.

when I 1st did bitcoin Slushs pool had clearer instructions on setting up GPUs and the bitcoin wallet than anywhere else. so Slush was the 1st place I mined.

the HD4850 I mined with was low powered at that point but since I had it I used it to prove bitcoin worked. once I sold the coin, converted it to USD and transferred it to my bank account, I then grabbed some modern cards (modern at that point was the HD6xxx series).

used mtgox and dwolla to convert to fiat. luckily I saw the red flags at mtgox and split.

yeah thats why I looked back over my transaction list, to see what the 1st transaction was. it was from Slushs pool mined on an HD4850

my backup plan is more organized now. FreeNAS rig in the basement with ZFS Z1 (like RAID 5). but back then it was "copy anything important everywhere you can" type of thing.

now after this as i find old wallets Im putting them in one place to check them out. most are copies of the main wallet but namecoin and litecoin wallets are there too.

thats a good idea for sure.

Im still running the same wallet from 2011 on my daily driver PC. made some others on various offline machines just to move them out of the main wallet around when wallets were not encrypted.

now most btc are in paper wallets but slowly moving some to the trenzor.

I probably just figured Id transfer it out again to my main wallet, just never got around to it.

back then when it was new to me I was testing things to see how it worked. this wallet originally was on an old laptop I ran ubuntu on.

both.

but I like local. redundant, rolling and multiple backups is whats saved me on more than one occasion. one is always in a bank safe deposit box.

all encrypted of course.

heh this wallet was so old it was before encryption was in core.

so just happened to scroll back through my wallets history. its the original wallet I made back in 2011. one transaction said "sent: Ubuntu". never remembered it. with no corresponding "received from Ubuntu"

well.. I back things up like crazy and sure enough look through old backups and theres a file named "Ubuntu.wallet.dat". oh yeah..

rename my current installs wallet.dat, copy the ubuntu one in, rescan and there it is. 5.0 bitcoin. exactly that one transaction. nothing else.

its kinda like finding a couple grand under the sofa cushion

price around aug 2011 was around $10.

so, anyone else find old btc you forgot you had? talk about HODLing

phil sorry for not paying attention *cough* oops

5.7 is good for me

i like the same 5.5 i had last pick..

+5.5 = vapourminer

and thank you phil for your time effort and BTC so therefore making this fun

id kinda like to see the trenzor stay more focused on btc.

more code = more opportunities for bugs. sure open source vetted and such but i like devices that handle money to be simple, somewhat specialized to their purpose (as opposed to general propose do it all) and reliable.

+5.5 = vapourminer
