System Hardware Specs: Inspiron 3583 Intel(R) i3-814SU CPU @ 2.10GHz 8.00 GB (7.88 Usable) Description of Problem: I have had this message for a week's time...."Armory is scanning the global transaction history to retrieve information about your wallets. The "Transactions" tab will be updated with wallet balance and history as soon as the scan is complete." Is this an error? If not, how long does it take for this process to update "Transactions?" I appreciate any guidance on how to resolve/complete the process. Thank you Any Related Addresses: None Any Related Transaction IDs: None Screenshot of the problem: Log Files from the Bitcoin Client: Thank you. Title: Re: Question about global scan Post by: TryNinja on August 07, 2020, 10:54:52 PM Armory is a full node wallet. This means that you need to download the entire Bitcoin blockchain before using. Depending on your internet speed and computer specs, it can take indeed some time.
You should see the progress in the middle of the dashboard screen. Or maybe, if something went wrong, you could click Help -> Rebuild and rescan databases. If you don't want to wait that long, you can simply use a lightweight wallet like Electrum.org, which doesn't require the entire blockchain and it's basically plug and go.

Do you have Bitcoin Core installed, running and fully synced? ???
Also, can you post your Armory log files? (Copy/paste contents of Armory log files to pastebin.com (https://pastebin.com/) then post generated pastebin link here) Finally, there is a dedicated Armory wallet subboard here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=97.0 Title: Re: Question about global scan Post by: bob123 on August 08, 2020, 02:00:15 PM First, props for using the proper format.
Regarding your problem, is it possible that you don't have bitcoin core installed and synced? As previously mentioned, armory requires core. If you don't want to download and process the whole blockchain, you'd need to use a SPV wallet (e.g. wasabi) instead of armory. Regarding the requested logs from HCP, you can either export them by clicking File -> Export Log File or by opening it directly located in: Code: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Armory\ |
