Attiny85 blink only works in programmer

Hi,
I started to use attiny85. bootloader uploaded using arduino isr and blink sketch uploaded using digispark clone using this tutorial.
I had much success. led is blinking on programmer (pin1). I see which (physical) pin is making the blink using my multimeter. I made sure to get the GND and 5V pin right.
HOWEVER - when I take the attiny out of the programmer and onto a breadboard (just gnd + 5v connected) - same pin does not "blink" (tested same pin with same multimeter...)

it seems to be something the digispark clone programmer is doing which I am not replicating on the breadboard. I have tried to pull up the (already pulled up) reset pin usink a 10K ressistor - no change there...

anyone had this issue before? could not find this in this forum...
i am a experienced arduino and esp boards programmer.

I'll appreciate any help.

edit - just to note - isp programming via arduino works just fine. I suspect fuses setup to match some protocol on the programmer...

My guess you are trying wrong pin

A 0.1uF ceramic bypass cap is required from Vcc to ground as close to the tiny85 chip as possible.

I tried that. not having any impact. good practice though.
