Title: Armory 94.1 -- Can't send any transactions Post by: sfbaddog on June 16, 2016, 12:40:02 AM I've been using 94.1 successfully for a month. Suddenly today, i can't send any transactions. I get stalled at the point where Armory suggests a higher transaction fee (why are the suggested fees so high by the way??). Selecting no at that screen should continue the transaction with the fee I selected, but instead it sends me back to the previous screen. I've tried everything. I've tried accepting the suggested fee. Nope, still takes me back to the previous screen. I've reinstalled 94.1 in a fresh location. Still the same problem. Anyone else running into this issue? Any suggestions? I'm not getting any error messages and when i run Bitcoin core by itself it seems to be syncing up just fine so I don't think the problem is there. I'm on Bitcoin 0.12.1.
Thanks. sfbaddog Title: Re: Armory 94.1 -- Can't send any transactions Post by: killerjoegreece on June 16, 2016, 12:42:32 AM i think the network is a bit congested now thats why the high fees,. i dont know more about the issue you are facing
Title: Re: Armory 94.1 -- Can't send any transactions Post by: BitcoinNewsMagazine on June 16, 2016, 12:53:44 AM Consult https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ with network congestion if you want miners to prioritize your transaction. Tradeblock (https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/historical/1h-f-tsize_per_avg-01101) shows the average transaction size is 550 bytes or .00033 bitcoin. Round it up to .0004 and that is the minimum fee in bitcoin you should be using per transaction. You could use .0005 bitcoin per transaction to make it high priority.

It's not a fee problem, it's clearly an Armory issue.I'm thinking there may be a python error. Can you post the Armory logs? If they are too long to post, go to http://pastebin.com/ and make a new paste. Then post the link to that paste.

Thanks. sfbaddog Try rebuild and rescan first, if that fails post log files. The fees are what Bitcoin Core calculates, ask them. Title: Re: Armory 94.1 -- Can't send any transactions Post by: fumblefingers on June 16, 2016, 02:00:45 AM I'm having the same problem, sorta. 0.94.1 has been working well past two days. Tonight I get the error:
Quote There was an error constructing your transaction, due to a quirk in the way Bitcoin transactions work. If you see this error more than once, try sending your BTC in two or more separate transactions Smaller amounts still would not send, and, as I have been doing, I have my fee set to 0.0015 Win7 EDIT: Rescanning made no difference. Rebuild? Rebuild what, the blockchain download? I sure hope that's not what you mean. It took me a WEEK to get the whole thing. Although it may be important that I have the blockchain downloaded into Bitcoin Core, as when I installed Armory again, (after not having it for a couple years,) it seemed to just be "offline" and doing nothing for days. The only way I could get Armory to work, after trying all the methods described here, was to start Bitcoin Core first, then start armory with the setting for "Allow Armory to manage bitcoinqt" unchecked. Worked beautifully for a few days.

If you see this error more than once, try sending your BTC in two or more separate transactions Code: if len(utxoSelect) == 0: This is the error it is referring to. In other words, it fails to select utxos to create your transaction, which suggest your outputs are all zero confirmed (or they are immature coinbase). Also, are you trying to spend all your coins in one go? Is Core suggesting a big fee? Quote The only way I could get Armory to work, after trying all the methods described here, was to start Bitcoin Core first, then start armory with the setting for "Allow Armory to manage bitcoinqt" unchecked. Worked beautifully for a few days. That's the mode I recommend (self managed BitcoinQt). I only tolerate bitcoind auto management because it has been there long enough people are used to it (and expect it). It's the source of about 80% of all errors with Armory.

Rebuild & rescan the Armory DB, what you are talking about is a blockchain redownload. Look in the help menu, should be below rescan.

I have exactly the same problem described here in the post above, it came suddenly, no problem before today with the 0.94.0 version ! Should I upgrade ? Or what else ? Let Armory in backround is checked Bitcoin install dir is C:\Program files\Bitcoin Bitcoin home dir is D:\Program Files (x86)\Armorydatabases\Bitcoin Shortcut to Armory is "D:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe" --datadir="D:\Program Files (x86)\Armorydatabases\NewArmory" Thank you for your great work and help. You should include a donation button in next version, so people can pay you for your work. Or add option "Add 0.xxxxx BTC as extra fee for each transaction to donate to developper" in Settings or below the Armory logo and above the 4 buttons. Title: Re: Armory 94.1 -- Can't send any transactions Post by: goatpig on July 09, 2016, 10:28:57 PM Start BitcoinQt manually, see what it has to say for itself. Otherwise, I need to see log files.
Title: Re: Armory 94.1 -- Can't send any transactions Post by: Ratatosk on July 10, 2016, 08:19:33 AM Hi an thanks
But if I start Bitcoin Core manually, it is going to begin to download a new full BTC blockchain somewhere on my disk, no ? Or is there a specific way to start Bitcoin Core manually for Armory and my config ? Bitcoin install dir is C:\Program files\Bitcoin Bitcoin home dir is D:\Program Files (x86)\Armorydatabases\Bitcoin Shortcut to Armory is "D:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe" --datadir="D:\Program Files (x86)\Armorydatabases\NewArmory" Title: Re: Armory 94.1 -- Can't send any transactions Post by: Ratatosk on July 10, 2016, 09:38:59 AM Problem disappeared today, without chnaging nothing !

Otherwise, you can start BitcoinQt with the -datadir command line argument to specify that folder. |
