Title: Bitcoin Core 0.15.1 re-d/l ? Post by: Mac-U-Tron_7000 on February 02, 2018, 12:14:56 AM Bitcoin Client Software and Version Number:
Bitcoin Core 0.15.1 Operating System: Windows 64 System Hardware Specs: Intel® Core™ i7 7700HQ @2.8ghz 16GB RAM Windows 10 Home 1TB 5400RPM (might be 7200) SATA HDD 256GB SSD Description of Problem: So, I already d/l and sync blockchain AND successfully used my wallet. One week after last successful transaction: when I go to open Bitcoin Core, it is directing me to start over as if this is my first time using it. Any idea what's going on? Thanks in advance, :) Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.15.1 re-d/l ? Post by: Mac-U-Tron_7000 on February 02, 2018, 04:23:06 AM No, I transferred all my BTC to the Armory wallet. Yes, I backed up the wallet the day it finished sync. I have the password, there was no required 12-word paraphrase for Bitcoin Core that I remember. When I open the wallet now, it creates a new subfolder in the directory that I saved my first and fully synced wallet. It is literally creating a new wallet when I try to open Bitcoin Core now.

Post by: Mac-U-Tron_7000 on February 07, 2018, 03:53:20 PM So I got that sorted out; I just had to redirect the d/l location and bitcoin home folder in Armory settings. Maybe you could answer another question I now have. The 'bitcoind' app is 'bitcoin daemon'? What exactly does that do? And- do I need to open bitcoin core every time before opening Armory? Thanks for your reply-

Yes.It does everything that Bitcoin Core's GUI does but without a GUI. it's meant for people running headless servers or who just don't like GUIs. And- do I need to open bitcoin core every time before opening Armory? Thanks for your reply- Yes.Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.15.1 re-d/l ?

Post by: AdolfinWolf on February 07, 2018, 05:13:00 PM do you know what armorydb.exe is? big thanks for replies... ;D Armorydb.exe is a/the process name of a wallet called "Armory", which can be found here, https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/ I believe armorydb.exe is the process of updating the blockchain specifically, and that the "normal" process is called ArmoryQT.exe Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.15.1 re-d/l ? Post by: achow101 on February 07, 2018, 07:05:11 PM which can be found here, https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/ That is the old website. The correct one is https://btcarmory.com/.do you know what armorydb.exe is? big thanks for replies... ;D Armorydb.exe is the backend for the Bitcoin Armory wallet. It communicates with Bitcoin Core and builds its own databases and block index from Bitcoin Core's data. This is what actually performs the transaction scanning stuff.ArmoryQt.exe is the GUI application for Armory. It relies on ArmoryDB in order to function. Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.15.1 re-d/l ? Post by: Mac-U-Tron_7000 on February 07, 2018, 07:13:48 PM I downloaded armory from https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/ on 12/12/2017
v. 0.96.3 It works fine after I allowed armorydb.exe to bypass my firewall. I simply access the Armory shortcut and no longer need to manually open Bitcoin Core first. It seems like it's working the way it should be now.... |
