When updating firmware, is the recovery seed always required?
Only if the update goes FUBAR. Normally it updates and you just keep using it. No wiping or reseeding. |

Yes, GreenAddress in Chrome store. Haven't you tried Electrum? It is easy and it works well.
I was unable to get btchip support working. It works with the older firmware. Apparently the new firmware broke it and Green Address has not updated the app yet to fix what is broken. |

 ok, i contacted support and followed their suggestions (wipe the device) it was kind of exiting to wipe it. all accounts restored, the coins are safe, trezor is running fine. everything is fine, the support was precise, friendly and fast. thumbs up. As long as you have your seed safely backed up nothing to ever worry about. Glad you got your Trezor working correctly again and restored access to your hard earned bitcoins. :-D |

Also, on the website have you gone into advanced options and checked the box for password use? The plugin might have updated and the option might have gotten unselected. The Trezor doesn't know if you have a password. It is up to the website or wallet software to prompt for one. Without a password you have a distinct wallet with its own keys. With the password you have another wallet with different keys. It may be as simple as the option to prompt for the password having gotten unselected.

ok, i have updated my trezor.
when i plug it in, it asks for the pin. after i punch in the pin it shows the device name but that is it. it does not ask for the passphrase. what should i do ? (tried several times to disconnect it and plugged it in again. always the same. it seems to try to load something, but it never gets there.)
have you tried to plug it in another computer? or to run it with electrum instead of mytrezor plugin ? tried several computers. getting worried. lots of coins... i will write costumer support now. Why on earth would you be getting worried? Didn't you write down the seed? Also, they warn people to move coins temporarily during an update if they have large balances just in case. You can create a new wallet from the seed and password and then wipe the Trezor and start over and then send the funds to the wiped and new seeded Trezor. After wiping you might want to run the firmware update again just to be safe. As long as you have your seed and know your password the coins are safe and there is nothing to worry about. |

One of my present theories: Cris is actively trading our funds on BTCe and trying to win enough to make back what he owes everyone. For now, he is waiting for a BTC rally and stalling for time.
Just a theory.
That is one of my most persistent ideas too. He's working on getting a nice profit (or getting back losses) and once he has it back he'll "pop up" and save the day. Why would he? At this point any money he is still making or will make he can just keep for himself and be a rich man. He has not proven to be honest so I doubt anyone will get anything, but would be nice since he owes me way over 10 BTC. |

Can someone give me a step by step on how to change the Trezor idle graphic using Windows 8.1 please? I wish it was just part of MyTrezor.com where you could select an image and tell it to use it. Thanks.

And a new update on the frontpage. Holiday
Due to the holidays, withdrawals, support and other operations which are not fully automated may be delayed until Tuesday, April 14.
A pointless update. He has never responded to any support tickets and in terms of withdrawals there are none every is in pending balances. Operations a dead website must be hard to operate. You never know, some of his hardcore defenders might be getting paid... Chris! If you read this, I'm available as defender! Let me know! Just activate my balance  I too am available, PM me! Me too!!! "Clean" my balances, let me withdraw them and I will tell everyone how great you are (barf). |

Ok, sounds somewhat simple (though to my experience, everything that should be simple somehow just gets complicated  ). But there is just one thing: im afraid of malware so thats why i would prefer not to go online, and instead do the transaction offline. Am i too paranoid and should i just do it online? Or is it too complicated anyway?  And of course if i do it offline then there is no way to tell if the btc is there until the point it arrives to the original created HD seed wallet, so i wont know if ive entered the correct private key etc.... How should i back up the seed and wallet file? Isnt it fine if i just have the file on that USB? Offline would be too complicated for a beginner as you would need to use a wallet such as Armory with an offline and online mode. If you have a reliable anti-virus scanner the chances of your computer being infected are not that great. If you are that paranoid buy a Trezor (see link below in my signature) before transferring the funds. Transfer them directly to a Trezor address so it would be a sweep into basically cold storage. If you have a valid Cassius gold bar private key it would be worth 100 BTC. So I would sweep it directly into something safe like a Trezor hardware wallet. Or you can create an offline wallet and then send the funds there. Up to you how you wish to proceed. |

Do the following:
Backup seed and wallet file.
Copy and paste receive address of Electrum wallet into notepad and save it.
File>New>Enter name>Restore>Enter compressed private key>Next
See if any btc at address from private key.
Send funds from the gold bar to the address you saved in new Electrum wallet.
Load original file and then have btc in Electrum wallet.
Never use private key or associated address from gold bar again.
Enjoy your new found btc if you found some.

Hmm, what is and HD seed?
So of course i created a new wallet with a seed, i mean thats the first thing that happens when you open electrum. So i dont try to import the private keys there but instead create a new wallet again? So the first wallet i made is not good? Or what?
HD Seed is what Electrum uses. It is a "Heuristic Deterministic" wallet. Meaning the seed will create addresses in a specific order based on that secret seed. Yes, you cannot use the wallet you created with a seed to import a private key. To import a private key it must be a wallet that was NOT CREATED with an HD seed. Create a new wallet, enter the name, select restore and then enter the private key from the gold bar. It will be a new wallet file which you should immediately backup. This wallet will allow you to enter more private keys. It only contain addresses of private keys you entered into it. It will not be like a normal electrum wallet. You can copy and save a receive address from the the first HD wallet you created, then if the private key has funds on it you can send them to the HD wallet and load that wallet file again. Of course, save the seed somewhere safe. Once a private key like this has been entered all the funds should be moved to a new address and that address never used again. |

Cassius private keys are in compressed private key format. They can start with letters. To import you need to create a new wallet and import the private key into a new wallet. Then that wallet can import other private keys but can never use an HD seed in that particular wallet. This is a new feature so people don't lose money by forgetting a seeded wallet had imported private keys.

Because most people who shop there don't own a Trezor yet most likely. |

When will we be able to see pics on the device when it is idle?

On Chrome suddenly the MyTrezor.com plugin fails to load. In the log it says it timed out. On Firefox it works but I prefer to use Chrome. I cannot find any way to uninstall the plugin so it loads again. There is only an option to disable it. Does anyone know why it might exhibit this behavior on Chrome. Are there other plugins that can interfere with the Trezor plugin? I am stumped. I hope some can help.
Edit: I finally got it working. Newly installed anti-virus program (WebRoot) had denied the Trezor program permission to run.

Did you change the gap limit for the receive or change addresses? If so, then the recovered wallet needs to know the same gaps limits, or it might not be looking far enough ahead at addresses to find all the coins.

Hi,
I just started using multibit as a lightweight client instead of bitcoin core.
I have imported some private keys from a wallet form blockchain which had 0.05 BTC in it and now multibit says I have 0.13 BTC. Previously I only had some dust in the multibit wallet somewhere around 0.004 or so.
Any idea what this may be? I'm going through my addresses as of right now to see what could be off, but if someone had something similar before I'd be happy to hear some input.
(No new transactions were received, that is not the reason why my balance went up. It simply shows more than what it showed in blockchain.info)
Maybe multibit has not fully synced to the blockchain yet so not all txs are accounted for. |
