Title: Armory<->Bitcoin-Qt RPC Fails Intermittently
Post by: BTCetera on November 19, 2013, 06:51:37 AM
On windows 7 x64, I fire up Armory, it synchronizes for a few minutes, goes offline for a couple more, then starts syncing again. Like this: 2013-11-18 21:15 (INFO) -- ArmoryQt.py:1129 - Setting up networking...

2013-11-18 21:15 (ERROR) -- ArmoryQt.py:1046 - Tried: http://bitcoinarmory.com/versions.txt Bitcoin-Qt has no problem syncing without interruptions, as I ran it standalone and it shows no hiccups. I have no RPC related errors or warnings in the event log. Google shows less than 10 (irrelevant) results for rpc+bitcoin+armory+offline. I don't understand RPC enough to know where to start. It could be the problem isn't even RPC between the two.

What version of Armory did this occur on?

What version of Armory did this occur on?
Sorry, I should have informed this in the OP - there are people out there who would report a problem while running an out of date version. It is 0.88-1beta. DOES connect while armory is telling me it's offline.

Your version kind of is out of date.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=299684.0
Try this one out and let me know if the issue still occurs.

I was running the the recommended latest version b/c testing releases are not considered latest, AFAIK. But I installed it and I still have the same problem: 2013-11-19 06:47 (INFO) -- armoryengine.pyc:805 -

The current testing version is actually very stable and entirely better than the latest release. It has even posted on the official website. This is confusing admittedly.
Do you have a bitcoin.conf set? Do you restrict the amount of nodes that can connect to you? Armory doesn't connect to the RPC, it connects as a node through localhost. Also, which version of the bitcoin client are you running?

Bitcooin-Qt is 0.8.5. (I never installed Bitcooin-Qt by itself - only what Armory provided) bitcoin.conf is default. Never touched it. I noticed that bitcoind listens on localhost:8332, but Armory's error message (below) led me to believe I had an RPC problem. if state == 'OfflineBadConnection':
return ( \

bitcoin.conf contains only the user/pword.

Actually, when you use auto-bitcoind (the default), Armory does use RPC to connect to it and determine the current synchronization state. If you manage Bitcoin-Qt yourself (disable the first checkbox in the settings), RPC is never used. For people with problems like these, I recommend disabling auto-bitcoind in the settings and try running it separately. Just make sure Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind are fully synchronized before starting Armory.

Thank you, Alan. I got it working now. If you need ANY assistance troubleshooting why this occurs, let me know.

Actually, I claimed it too early. Now that I'm in sync again (was 11 days behind) I got it setup as recommended. Armory-Qt shows Preparing stuck at 1% and the armory icon brings up a balloon in the system tray showing one second "connected", then "disconnected", then "connected" again, ad infinitum.

Gave it another try today. "Preparing" is working, but they still disconnect/connect every 3 seconds or so. The new thing I've noticed is that Armory-Qt does not show offline in the main window - it only keeps chugging along with "Preparing". The disconnect/connect notices come from the tray icon only.

With Armory running, go to File > Export log file, and email it to us at support@bitcoinarmory.com

Update: now that the DB is done syncing, the disconnect/connect notice now shows on armory itself (along with the system tray)
