Title: Two blockchains with Armory Post by: MrTeal on February 21, 2015, 10:13:31 PM Sorry if this is a common question, some basic google and forum searching didn't turn up much.
I've recently tried using armory, and am enjoying it so far other than one thing. It appears that I have two versions of the blockchain downloaded, and both are updating. I know Armory uses bitcoind, but is it normal to have a full blockchain in /roaming/Bitcoin and roaming/Armory? Title: Re: Two blockchains with Armory Post by: CircusPeanut on February 21, 2015, 11:18:28 PM Yes, this is normal. Armory scans the block chain in the bitcoin data directory, and builds it's own database.

Alright, thanks. It looks like I will need to up the specs on one of the machines in my off/online pair then. A 120GB SSD works for now, but doesn't leave a lot of room for future blockchain expansion.Title: Re: Two blockchains with Armory Post by: TimS on February 23, 2015, 05:21:20 PM If you can hold off until 0.93.1, and aren't interested in running a supernode, you don't need to upgrade your hardware for quite a while, because Armory will no longer store its own copy of the blockchain, instead just having a ~120MB database:
I'm intrigued by this. Are you saying that as of 0.93.1, the Armory database in a default installation will only take up 120MB of disk space? Yes |
