This what you you used
avrisp.name=AVR ISP
avrisp.communication=serial
avrisp.protocol=stk500v1
avrisp.program.tool=avrdude
avrisp.program.protocol=stk500v1
avrisp.program.tool=avrdude
avrisp.program.extra_params=-P{serial.port}

# STK500 firmware version v1 and v2 use different serial protocols.
# Using the 'stk500' protocol tells avrdude to try and autodetect the
# firmware version. If this leads to problems, we might need to add
# stk500v1 and stk500v2 entries to allow explicitly selecting the
# firmware version.

You on two roads here one is loading the code to turn your arduino into a programmer

Thats this one

And one that burns the bootloader thats after you load the
ArduinoISP code I posted

In case you are wondering, this is why people told you to use an Arduino board instead of a raw AVR chip.
yes but it looks like 1,000's of people have programmed the raw chip without problems and there is nothing i can find on the web about this problem which is weird. It just don't make sense, I am not sure what to think.

Thousands of people ski down expert slopes too, but not on their first day of skiing.

true but you have to start some where :) also many youtube videos showing people doing the same thing And steps iam doing so i don't know what is going on. so i don't think its was asking to much its not like its "expert" setup/circuirt here. again no where online talks about this problem so must not be a common problem.

Many people don’t goto their tennis instructor to learn how to ski. Might work for the bunny hill but not black diamond slopes.

Welcome to the world of electronics hardware and software, computers, programming, and debugging.

Your situation is not unique. Many times one is faced with multiple problems. For example, let us say that there are three problems happening at the same time. You cannot succeed if only one problem is resolved. Oftentimes, one of the problem is misinformation or a situation that is out of date.

When you finally have all the problems resolved and your system is up and running, you look back and think how "silly" was each problem.

I don't think me programming a tiny85 would be an "expert" thing to do, it looks straight forward thing to do with all the info that was out there. That's like saying don't walk, you might fall!
