Title: Armory Client not updating block height Post by: Thessiuss on April 20, 2014, 12:26:52 AM For the past couple days Armory has been listed as "Online", however the current block count (bottom right corner: Connected (295357 blocks)) has not changed. I have looked around the forums for suggestions about "freezing" or issues with updating the block chain. However, i've not been able to find anything that has been able to solve the issue.
A couple things to note: I have changed both bitcoin and armory's home directories to the install locations on a different drive. Shortcut Target: G:\Bitcoin\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe --datadir="G:\Bitcoin\Armory\home" --satoshi-datadir="G:\Bitcoin" Armory version: 0.91-beta Bitcoin-qt version: 0.9.1.0 Currently, the chain height is 296712. Any thoughts?

Title: Re: Armory Client not updating block height Post by: etotheipi on April 20, 2014, 12:57:10 AM Make sure that you have properly modified --satoshi-datadir to the right folder, and that it exists. We typically see this happen when the user originally was running Bitcoin Core in the default dir (C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin), then later moved to a new directory but left the original one there.
Armory looks for a P2P connection to Bitcoin Core and looks for the blk*.dat files in the bitcoin home directory. If it finds both, it goes into online mode, not realizing that the blk*.dat files it's watching aren't being updated. |
