Title: Wallet constantly needs rebuilding
Post by: TheDoos on May 09, 2016, 09:31:00 PM
Everytime Armory loads my wallets show over 184467440000 bitcoins and they need rebuilding. Even if Armory is left running a day or so later the balance returns to over 184467440000. Any ideas how to prevent this happening? Running 0.93.3 with core 0.11.1. Any help much appreciated.

Use 0.94.1 https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases/tag/v0.94.1 and Core 0.12.1 https://bitcoin.org/en/download. IIRC 0.94.1 fixes this problem.

Thanks for the really quick reply, I will try that and confirm if it resolves the issue.

I forgot to mention that 0.94.1 will build new databases. However, these databases are significantly smaller than the old ones (several Gb vs ~200 Mb). However it does not remove the old databases, so you will have to go to the armory data directory and delete the old ones yourself in order to get that additional space. The old databases will not have any effect on the new ones.

Deleted the old databases and runs like a dream again. Thanks for the help.  :)
