Title: Armory 0.96 - "Building database" forever Post by: spratt on May 01, 2018, 07:04:48 PM Firstly, thanks a ton to Goatpig and the awesome Bitcoin Armory team. From all the research I've done, I believe this is THE BEST bitcoin software wallet available. To anyone reading, please consider donating some money to keep this awesome project moving ahead. Now the nitty-gritty...
Version: 0.96-beta-a3d01aa722 (Armory Standalone) Two issues: 1. This is minor: On my computer neither of these directories existed:
So, I manually added those two directories, and then... 2. The GUI hangs when "Building Databases". I let it run for 24 hours on a laptop with 1/4 Gig Internet Speed and 64GB RAM, and a decent processor. After 24 hours, I killed it and ran ArmoryDB.exe from the command line. Here is the output: -INFO - 1525199657: (..\main.cpp:23) Running on 8 threads -INFO - 1525199657: (..\main.cpp:24) Ram usage level: 4 -INFO - 1525199657: (..\BlockUtils.cpp:907) blkfile dir: C:\Users\$my_username\AppData\Roaming/Bitcoin/blocks -INFO - 1525199657: (..\BlockUtils.cpp:908) lmdb dir: C:\Users\$my_username\AppData\Roaming/Armory/databases -INFO - 1525199657: (..\lmdb_wrapper.cpp:388) Opening databases... -INFO - 1525199660: (..\BlockUtils.cpp:1091) Executing: doInitialSyncOnLoad -INFO - 1525199660: (..\DatabaseBuilder.cpp:169) Reading headers from db -WARN - 1525199660: (..\lmdb_wrapper.cpp:1175) No headers in DB yet! -INFO - 1525199660: (..\DatabaseBuilder.cpp:208) Found 1 headers in db -INFO - 1525199660: (..\DatabaseBuilder.cpp:51) updating HEADERS db -DEBUG - 1525199660: (..\Blockchain.cpp:242) Organizing chain -INFO - 1525199660: (..\DatabaseBuilder.cpp:56) updated HEADERS db in 0.007s -INFO - 1525199660: (..\BlockUtils.cpp:1206) Enabling zero-conf tracking -INFO - 1525200170: (..\BDM_Server.cpp:996) registered bdv: 75e355801ed48ba27440 -INFO - 1525200170: (..\BDM_supportClasses.cpp:366) Starting address registration process -ERROR - 1525200170: (..\lmdb_wrapper.cpp:1435) Headers DB has no block at height: 0 -ERROR - 1525200170: (..\lmdb_wrapper.cpp:1415) No headers at height 0 I then installed Armory (instead of using the standalone) and that didn't seem to fix anything.

Get 0.96.4 from the new site (https://btcarmory.com/).

This is minor: On my computer neither of these directories existed:
You do realise you also need Bitcoin Core installed and fully synced for Armory to work correctly right? ??? |
