Title: Is a "bitcoin.conf" file needed for Armory to work correctly? Post by: matrix01 on October 14, 2019, 02:29:58 AM Fellow Forum Members,
I would be very grateful if someone in this community can confirm the following. Does the latest release of Armory need the Bitcoin Core Client to be configured with a "bitcoin.conf" file containing this line of code "txindex=1" inside the file? Or is it okay for the Bitcoin Core Client to just download the blocks without no need for re-indexing the headers which is what the "txindex=1" inside the "bitcoin.conf" file is designed to do? Any clarification will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Title: Re: Is a "bitcoin.conf" file needed for Armory to work correctly?

Make sure you're running Armory 0.96.5. Title: Re: Is a "bitcoin.conf" file needed for Armory to work correctly?

I don't think that's what txindex=1 does, but it doesn't affect Armory if you use that cli argument with your Bitcoin client (Bitcoin uses txindex=1 to allow you to search the bitcoin blockchain for txids, blockchain.info and others basically got the idea for their service from the introduction of the txindex feature) Title: Re: Is a "bitcoin.conf" file needed for Armory to work correctly?

Just to further illustrate the points made above... this is a copy/paste of my current "bitcoin.conf":Code: walletrbf=1 Armory 0.96.5 + Bitcoin Core v0.18.1 (GUI) on Windows 10 and everything working as it should... I even have my bitcoin "blocks" folder in a non-standard location (E:\Bitcoin). I simply specified that location in the Armory "Settings": https://talkimg.com/images/2023/11/15/z5BWj.png Title: Re: Is a "bitcoin.conf" file needed for Armory to work correctly? Post by: matrix01 on October 16, 2019, 01:01:21 AM Thank you to all for your posts regarding this Bitcoin Core matter. I followed the given advice and downloaded the entire blockchain without setting up a "bitcoin.conf" file. Great to know Armory does not require this be done so it can operate correctly.
In closing, I am sharing the link below for those in the community wanting to know more about this subject. Two minutes into the video the "bitcoin.conf" subject matter begins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_9Sbrvj7qA&list=PLmoQ11MXEmag9I2ibHnubzJdjDqypujCk&index=2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_9Sbrvj7qA&list=PLmoQ11MXEmag9I2ibHnubzJdjDqypujCk&index=2) Again, thanks to all for your help. |
