Thanks for the reply
Don't have the seed anymore unfortunately, just remember the pin
Ledger old web app is also not supported anymore - the server side does not exist...
I tried on a linux machine, but to my understanding, the last versions of Electrum supporting such old hardware were the 2.... and the 3... versions do not.
and the electrum versions (new) don't recognize the device, (older) give "read error" when trying to sign a transaction

Thank you

can't update the ledger, and the old electrum doesn't work anymore while the new one doesn't support this old version
What are my options?

Thanks

thanks everyone Smiley
for the service which includes the credit card processing, and the fraud protection for the exchange, allowing the user immediate (in the next few months less immediate but an hour or so) we're charging 5% in total
7  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Simplex - credit card payment for bitcoin exchanges and cloud mining on: January 07, 2015, 10:12:40 AM
yep - rolling out - you can check the growing list of partners at our site www.simplexcc.com/partners

not like xapo at all - we're talking about your regular credit card, the one you use every day

and yes, we're integrated with them. it looks like a different checkout page basically

soon (next month) we'll be starting integrations with exchanges and brokers

and yes, 20 minutes is not immediate - but way better than the 2-3 days for a wire transfer, and it'll improve over the few coming months to immediate approve / reject

hi
We're Simplex (www.simplexcc.com), you might have seen me presenting at Coinsummit in London last summer.

And we've just started rolling out - started with cloud mining contracts at www.genesis-mining.com and www.nexusmining.com
Next month we'll start launching our integrations with crypto currency exchanges and brokers worldwide to enable anyone to buy bitcoin at any exchange with his regular credit card.

In the initial phase it'll take about an hour to get the approval, but in later months it'll be an instant approval action, just like other credit card purchases
Enjoy mainstream - BTC bitcoin is finally coming

if anyone has any comments / questions feel free either here or in twitter @nimrodlehavi / @SimplexCC

cheers
10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Very happy to share that my kid has moved to btc on: January 28, 2014, 09:44:57 PM
...
he has a wallet but most of his btc is on a watch only address  I maintain
Told him that if he would have done it a year ago he would have been a rich kid 3:-)

If that happened, you would be the rich dad, and your kid only would have a huge balance in a watch-only address lol.

xD kind of, however it's a separate address, and we agreed he can take control whenever he feels it's safe
he understands the risks but doesn't want to go to paper wallet so this is kind of a happy middle.
i also discussed it here on a thread a few months ago
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Very happy to share that my kid has moved to btc on: January 28, 2014, 09:10:55 PM
well, for all the non so believing - i understand why.
however, i post here under my real name, and u can check my FB posts and twitter and see i posted it to my friends and followers as well

also wasn't really asking to send him - only if someone feels like - thought it could be nice if he got a worm welcome from the community

and a couple did, and i thank them for it Smiley but mostly just proud of my kid
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Very happy to share that my kid has moved to btc on: January 28, 2014, 06:01:56 PM
He's 11 years old, and naturally been hearing a lot about it for a couple of years
We've officially moved to bitcoin allowance per his request (which is the part I'm most proud)
After a bit of research and discussions he has a wallet but most of his btc is on a watch only address  I maintain
Told him that if he would have done it a year ago he would have been a rich kid 3:-)

If anyone feels like sending him a welcome satoshi -1NexxhabPEQC1ZAnizsDpVSFXZAze5hPmr

hi
i'm giving a lecture to investors, regulators, gvmt officials and such next week
wanted to title my lecture "from here to mainstream" and wanted to check the hive mind on what do YOU think are the greatest barriers make bitcoin truly mainstream 

thanks in advance Smiley

I guess everyone's definition of mainstream is different. But I'll go off the assumption that you mean something like a normal day to day thing people do/engage in. Debit/Credit cards are mainstream for example.

To answer your question I would argue some of the biggest road blocks in no particular order a are volatility, ease of use, safety, and adoption.  When I talk to people who don't have bitcoin and have no interest in it, it's usually one of these things they bring up.  They will point out its too much of a hassle for them (too difficult) , they dont want their money stolen (not safe enough for them), they dont want money that goes down or up constnatly (volatailty) , and there is no were currently that takes bitcoin  (adoption).


Once these roadblocks start getting overcome bitcoin will continue to go mainstream. It's my opinion that all of these roadblocks are solvable and are already steadily being worked on by various start ups and individuals. The only one that people can't really fix through innovation would the volataility issue but I would think/hope that starts to become less of an issue as the market expands.

Have fun with your lecture,  may I ask why you are giving a speech on bitcoin ?



the lecture is one of few in this event.
i'm part of the board of the local bitcoin association, and i've done a few things in the space (including a startup just now)
thanks for the feedback

If you mean mainstream as in Mass population using it as a payment tool ,then I believe one thing will make it happen and that is the paying population need to be able to buy the exact same item cheaper by simply using bitcoin .

If online retailers or bick and mortar were to pass on some of the savings from not using paypal and credit cards and highlight this with a price comparison then the paying public would seek out places to obtain Bitcoin .
I truly believe until the public can see a clear reason to use it (the cheaper items ) them adoption buy consumers will struggle .

The main percentage that use bitcoin use it to store wealth just like gold and protect against fiat re-valuations by individual economies .

The current european/British legislation being implemented were depositor funds will be used to bail out banks should incentivise any depositors to think twice about holding cash in any bank .

great points
thanks

16  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: it's true there are scams in BTC but there are some really awesome ppl here on: November 26, 2013, 02:49:11 PM
i think, especially here, that admitting there was a problem, and that i'm standing behind the service is important
also - even more important i think is to openly tell about good things

be the change you want to see in the world - you also need to tell once it's here

and yes, i took security measures
17  Economy / Service Discussion / it's true there are scams in BTC but there are some really awesome ppl here on: November 26, 2013, 07:03:47 AM
so i run www.proxycoins.com
it's a P2P platform for buying things for others with your credit card and they repay you with Bitcoin.

i was hacked. just like so many other (and much better) systems. not awful, all in all about 1BTC damage (more luck than brains).
super annoying and depressing though, when you're building something new that's supposed to help the community

since there was a deal going on thru the platform, and a user already put the BTC in escrow, i told him i'm shipping his product anyhow - not his fault i got hacked right?

so this user, a price among man, offered to split my loss in the middle. effectively paying 150% on the product, sharing my loss just to support the system

really worms my heart. especially in contrast of the mother***ers who hacked and stole

thank you u great community you!

18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: open source bitcoin ATM on: November 25, 2013, 07:09:58 PM
Is it written for M$ Windows? I'd better choose opensource OS.


i know... only the code samples of the board were only on MS
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / open source bitcoin ATM on: November 25, 2013, 09:39:37 AM
i know there are a few solutions out there already for ATMs
do you think it makes sense to release an open source solution? i've created a working one over a weekend at a conference i run http://www.geekcon.org/geekcon-2013/bitcoin-atm/
wanted to know if the community sees it as something sensible to be released as open source
if it's an open source ATM any shop can have one at lower costs, self management, and most important - can't be shut down by the regulator b/c it's not a company...

would be happy to hear your thoughts
