Title: Problem with Imported Armory Watch Only Wallet Post by: l.j2300 on December 12, 2013, 05:55:28 AM Hi,
I tried to import my wallet on my online pc which is running Armory 0.90. I let Armory scan the block chain until it fully synced/caught up. I then tried to import the watch only wallet and it said that Armory would have to rescan the block chain. It has been about 4 hours now and the scanning has been stuck at 66 months? Anyone know what is the problem here? Thanks...

May I ask your disk I/O and CPU status? I can't exactly remember which, but, one was very high and the other had quite a noticeable amount of 'background noise' when I was doing it (It was probably the CPU that was very high).

I can't exactly remember which, but, one was very high and the other had quite a noticeable amount of 'background noise' when I was doing it (It was probably the CPU that was very high). When I loaded Armory it scanned and successfully scanned it. Right after that I imported my watch only wallet and then it had to re-scan which gave me 66 months and did not change its status after about 4 hours. I closed and reopened Armory, and then the percentage went quickly to 99% then it was still scanning and the approximate time left programmed into Armory said 8 minutes, then two minutes later it went up to an hour. Do I have to re-scan the blockchain everytime I import a watch only wallet?

It has to gather all transaction data it didn't keep about the wallet you just imported.

If you have lots of wallets to import, the best way to do this is to stop Armory, and restart it in offline mode. Then import all the wallets at once, and restart Armory in regular online mode. It will rescan, but it will only do it once. In the near future, we hope to have that rescan process be a bit faster...

Maybe you should try storing it in the RAM. :DTitle: Re: Problem with Imported Armory Watch Only Wallet Post by: l.j2300 on December 15, 2013, 02:59:03 AM Every time you import a wallet, it has to check the blockchain to determine if there's any balance.
