Question is in the subject :)

Seems like Armory 0.96.2 reports "Node Offline" while Bitcoin Core 0.17.0.1 is running.

I'm on macOS Mojave.

Any ideas?

You'd have to make sure your setup is fine to begin with. For what it's worth, I haven't seen anything in 0.17.0.1 that disrupts Armory's connection. You're better off updating regardless.

FYI, If I run Bitcoin Core 0.16.3 instead of Bitcoin 0.17.0.1, Armory 0.96.2 now reports "Connected". So for some reason, 0.16.3 is different from running 0.17.0.1 from Armory's perspective, at least on macOS Mojave.

I've updated the subject of this thread, hoping droark will notice.

Thanks for all your hard work. Been using Armory for years and nothing beats it for securing Bitcoin.

Honestly, I'm a bit surprised your setup works at all. I was under the impression that Core 0.15 exposed some packet deserialization issues that required an upgrade to Armory 0.96.3.

In any event, it would take me a long time to test this on a VM (I use -txindex and would have to wipe out some Core DBs if I went back pre-0.17). I'd prefer not to do that. :) Is there any reason why you're sticking to this particular setup?

I build my own Armory and I was too lazy to build the latest one :)
Anyhow, I've now gone ahead and finally built 0.96.4 (on Sierra) and it runs fine with Bitcoin Core 0.17.0.1 on Mojave.
Thanks for the input.

You're welcome, and glad to hear it's working again. :)
