61  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Trezor: Bitcoin hardware wallet on: May 16, 2014, 02:48:20 PM
I bought a slightly longer cable for my trezor as it didnt work too well with iMac (all USB ports on rear!)



Not quite as portable but perhaps I just keep this cable at home for now...  Smiley

Look foward to hearing updates. Thanks again.

Okay, it seems that the problem is resolved. Can you confirm that myTREZOR works in your browser now? Thanks!

Trezor now displaying my tx and current balance as it should.

Thanks for the support slush; now i can try a test tx using the trezor!  Grin

Please release the source code to the app. It looks wonderful, but honestly, I can't help but get the too good to be true suspicion. Like the inputs.io situation.

It will also help make sure it's fully secure by having external audits.

I too, would love for ReCat to look over the source code and say that it's safe (as a non-programmer, the more the merrier IMO).
64  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Trezor: Bitcoin hardware wallet on: May 12, 2014, 09:05:20 AM
Sounds plausible. The plugin 1.0.5 was out for quite some time now. You might have visited mytrezor.com in the past and installed it ...
Ah OK, this is the most likely explanation then!

This supports my theory. Will report back when we have more info or even fix. Smiley
Look foward to hearing updates. Thanks again.

In case it's relevant, my Chrome browser is "Version 34.0.1847.131 m"
65  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Trezor: Bitcoin hardware wallet on: May 12, 2014, 08:38:40 AM
OK thanks for helping.

I will say, that this is my personal computer at work, nobody else here even knows what bitcoin is, definitely no one else has a Trezor and nobody installed a plugin on my computer before I get to work today!

Only chance is, if extension was released some weeks ago then I might have installed it and forgotten about it... But 100% nobody installed between me recieving Trezor on friday (at home) and arriving at work with it this morning at 0800 (I am first to arrive at the office and it is locked over weekend).

Finally, if it is relevant, despite being able to display trezor name and account 1 (and first recieving address of account 1) in web window, clicking transactions also brings me to an infinitely loading page (standard browser window, incognito mode and standard tab with all extensions disabled).

If you need any more info on my setup to help me out then please let me know.

Thanks

This morning I have come into work and I wanted to setup myTrezor on my work computer (windows machine using google chrome). But when I plug in the device and visit the site it has not prompted me to install the extension on this machine...

It does however recognise the device name

This is really weird. Without the plugin the site could not communicate with TREZOR at all and thus should not be able to read its name. Are you sure the extension is not installed? (type about:plugins in URL bar)

Stick, thanks for replying.

You are correct (of course). Typing about:plugins does list a Trezor extension Version: 1.0.5 as being installed. This is odd as I did not install it at any point and I remember on Safari there was quite a few clicks needed.... Does it auto-install on Chrome?

Now that I know that this is installed I am still stuck at the same point: device name is brought up with balance showing as 0.00BTC in account 1...

Also, the three bar progress bar next to "account 1" name continuously spins as if it is still loading.

Have also tried all of these steps in incognito mode (so no other extensions running) and still no luck (did tick "always allow" for trezor extension in about:plugins)...  Huh

EDIT:
How my screen looks now:
http://imgur.com/fTdc0h8

Also I might re-iterate that this is a windows 7 (work) computer which does not have all access/management policy rights available to me as a user, but I am allowed to install my own browser and extensions it should all be working, right?
67  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Trezor: Bitcoin hardware wallet on: May 12, 2014, 07:54:12 AM
The myTrezor website does currently not refresh addresses .. it seems the BOP server is offline or unresponsive.

My transactions show on confirmations on the blockchain but not on mytrezor. cant even see any tx therer .. :-(

I have a similar issue unfortunately.

On Friday I setup my Trezor (and myTrezor.com) on my home mac in safari. when i visited the site i was prompted to download and install the extension which all worked OK and setup was very easy.

I then sent some test BTC which appeared on the myWallet.com page within a few seconds Smiley

This morning I have come into work and I wanted to setup myTrezor on my work computer (windows machine using google chrome). But when I plug in the device and visit the site it has not prompted me to install the extension on this machine...

It does however recognise the device name, but it too appears to be "stuck" refreshing the balance of the address in the web wallet, and instead says that my balance is 0.00 BTC.

I cannot find anywhere how to manually download the required extension, as I would venture that it is the lack of this that is causing the issue for me; or at least it would be the next step I would take in troubleshooting this.

Can anyone help?

EDIT:
After reading above comments here is my tx, in case it is relevant:
187162daa0df64d5cd3d2eaeaad146502991b77863851329d3e041df66c6c947

EDIT2:
After fiddling a bit more I seem to have made some backwards steps: Previously when i was on the myTrezor page it displayed the name of my Trezor and the incorrect balance (thi sis without having the extension installed and without me having to enter the PIN that I configured) but there was also the option to "forget device".
I tried clearing my browser history etc but this did not help anything, so I tried to click "forget device". Now the myTrezor page looks like this:
http://imgur.com/MPtk2Vk

I cannot get it to display anythign at all...

Hi all,

we've been working hard in recent weeks, so after some time of silence we have updates that you've been waiting for:

http://satoshilabs.com/news/2014-05-08-trezor-metallics-shipping-classics-eta/

Thanks for the update.
69  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Trezor: Bitcoin hardware wallet on: May 08, 2014, 02:12:42 PM
So is this still going? I think I have been waiting over a year now, and the updates are getting fewer and fewer  Undecided
70  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The only way forward is to split it. on: April 30, 2014, 07:51:48 AM
Well then you have a problem.  There is no "top".  Bitcoin is a consensus system.  Blocks from a forked protocol which has more coins than current nodes expect will simply be seen as invalid.  Miners mining those blocks will be wasting hashpower. 

It is very likely Bitcoin will never have a "split.

Of course there is a "top".  The big exchanges and brokers, along with the core developers.

Two years ago MtGox could have single-handedly switched the denomination and everyone would have updated their services.  Right now there are more big players, but it would only take half a dozen influential people to make the switch happen in a week.

No it wouldn't. My client rejects blocks which don't match the correct Bitcoin protocol.  There are 21M BTC, the current subsidy is 25 BTC and coins are divisible to eight places.   So you are saying if you get all the major cexchanges, service providers, plus wallet developers for all the wallet to all simultaneously change you could force a change.  Even that is incorrect but sorry to break it to you but all those people in that group don't agree on just about anything.   Hell they often don't agree on very non-contraversial changes.   However you believe by magic they will all agree simultaneously on probably the most controversial change to Bitcoin ever?  Really?

When you have to get dozens of people from diverse views with diverse viewpoints and often conflicting agendas to reach a consensus and then gets hundreds of thousands of users to upgrade their software to make that change effective that is by definition "no top".


I thought everything at the protocol level was processed at the satoshi level (eg zero decimal places) although perhaps this varies between software...? I'm sure you are more of an expert here than me.

But anyway, all the "split" would do in this instance is to 'rename' "one bitcoin" to equal 100 satoshis instead of 100 million (or 100,000 instead of 100 million).

I have to admit, I am all for this. The decimal place is horrible for 99.999% of people; try asking anyone what even a simple sum such as 0.001 + 0.0001 is verbally and I guarantee that they will struggle (i have tried this on many [non-technical] friends myself). Also then ask them to convert this into their native currency by multiplying by, even a round number such as 500. Not happening... Multiply those numbers by a million and people have no problem though.

It is my opinion that mBTC will not solve this problem adequately either; merely further delaying the issue until a point in time when we have more (less-technical) users and more nodes which will have to consent.

My vote would strongly urge to adopt 1x10^-6 (current) BTC in some form, either uBTC (less desirable) or the "stock split" - changing BTC to equal 100 satoshis (most desirable).

I am sure if this was agreed to by a majority in the communtity that a date or block could be set as changeover day to attempt to minimise confusion, which would inevitably follow, breifly. Although with adopting 1x10^-6 BTC the difference should be so incredibly obvious (who will pay 1,000,000x too much for their service!?) that there should not be much issue...
71  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Show Me The Bitcoin! - use plain images as Bitcoin keys, send BTC via email on: April 28, 2014, 02:53:32 PM
Could you make it more computationally expensive to derive the key from the image, so that would-be-attackers can't just hash every image they can get their hands on. Similar to how brute-forcing BIP38 keys is impractical (currently)...>?

I think the correct terminology is to introduce more rounds of hashing, but must admit in this area I start to fall down a little...

Either way, nice app!
72  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you f...ing kidding me? on: April 11, 2014, 10:45:57 AM
This video is awesome thanks for posting it. I thought it might be a parody or something at first because of how ridiculous it is. I mean jesus christ. Compare this to a regular atm which can be a literally 20 second process. Bitcoin is so so so inconvenient. Why would an average person EVER use this atm? Why would anyone ever buy bitcoins from this atm? Why not just get some cash...? Or why not just pay with your credit card? Is it because bitcoin is anonymous and cooler? This machine takes your phone number, verifies it, takes your hand print four times, takes your picture, and takes a copy of your government ID. Is this supposed to be anonymous? Is bitcoin cooler than cash? Have you ever held stacks of 20 dollar bills, have you ever smelled mad cash? What's cooler some numbers on a screen or crisp clean dollars right in the palm of your hand. You want to talk about truly anonymous, what's more truly anonymous than cash?

Bitcoin has two or three legitimate uses:
1. Buying illegal things online
2. Gambling online
3. Paying for porn online

Now some people might say what about sending money overseas? Why the fuck would any poor person take the risk of buying bitcoin and sending it to their poor family in some poor country when one day bitcoin can be worth $600 each and literally two days later be worth $450 each? People sending money overseas are not trying to speculate AT ALL. They are just trying to send some money.

I bought into the hype myself when this whole bitcoin thing started and I made some money by investing in it. But recently my eyes have been opened. Bitcoin is a joke. Don't be a lemming. Don't speculate with your hard-earned money. Use your hard-earned cash to build some sort of online business or offline business venture, don't just dump it all into bitcoin. This is called crossing your fingers and praying for the best. It's like hoping you win the lottery.

This ATM is a freaking Joke McJoke. I can't stop laughing at how ridiculous and STUPID it is.

4 posts eh, figures.

74  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Is the long block confirmation time a problem? on: April 07, 2014, 02:09:11 PM
Sergio (or anyone else),

Can you tell me please what the difference (security wise) is between a bitcoin transaction propagated through the network 2.5 minutes ago with zero confirmations and a "FASTCOIN" transaction propagated at the same time but now with 10 confirmations (15 second block time)? Which transaction is easily to disrupt (read "reverse"/ullify etc)? Assuming both coins had equal hashing power which transaction would require more hashing power to sabotage. Which transaction is the most secure? If someone is trying to doublespend what difference does the number of confirmations make? - Surely it is just the amount of hashing power that makes the difference...?

Does this scale for more confirmations:
> 30 minutes (3BTC conf., 120FASTCOIN conf.)?
> 60 minutes (6BTC conf., 240FASTCOIN conf.)?

Please of course consider that both transactions adhere to the network rules of that network
> Is the transaction valid
> Has it propagated through the network sucessfully
> Is double-spend attempt detected (can tell this after a few seconds usign well-connected nodes)
etc...

I dont see how they are different and can only understand increased bandwidth/orphan rate generation as negative side effects.. Also increasing percieved security whilst really not providing any additional security.

It seems to me like the only issue we have currently is education; people dont really understand why you dont need to wait for 6 confirmations for a tx to be "secure"...

Although I could well be wrong on a number of things as I am not a miner or a developer.

76  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Proposal for Proof of Stake that promotes Full Nodes on: April 04, 2014, 12:47:17 PM
How many full nodes do we need? Is it just "more" or do you have a quantified target number/percentage?
77  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Please Help Test Armory 0.91-beta! on: April 04, 2014, 10:44:47 AM
Armory sometimes gets into a infinite loop of connecting and disconnecting from the node.

It's triggered after a node loses Internet connectivity (maybe it's set up to connect through a proxy and the proxy goes down for some reason).

When connectivity is restored and the node starts to catch back up with the network, Armory will start connecting and disconnecting 1-2 times per second, with the GUI showing a "can not connect to node" error message.

Closing and reopening Armory (while doing nothing at all to the bitcoind node) resolves the problem.

justusranvier I solved this on my machine by editing my bitcoin.conf file to add 127.0.0.1 as a mandatory peer. This allowed Armory to maintain connection to Bitcoin-Qt(/d) even when Bitcoin-QT/d maxed out allowed peers with external nodes.

I may have misinterpreted your problem though.
