When you get in a state that crashes Armory, try to start it with the --offline switch. If it starts, then what you are experiencing is some sort of recurrent DB corruption. Do you use an anti virus or some sort of system snapshot recovery? What about HDD and RAM health?

Well maybe once per 3 transactions I get a stuck one. Meaning the transaction is no where to be found on blockchain.info and stays at 0 confirmations in the client for ever.
Clear All Unconfirmed works great and then it goes out just fine but I thought you might find it useful to know that it happens quite often.
That's with the latest version (was same with older versions actually) on Linux.
Have you set your minimum fee to 0? And how fast do you emit these transactions? |

After I import an address, will new printable backups work for the imported addresses too?
You need to print the paper wallet again. after printing, you will see that the newly imported private keys are aside with the original armory keys. Well, you need to check the option to add your imported keys to the backup. I don't remember it being checked by default No, I mean how bitcoind has a copy of its own databases and Armory then duplicates it.
With litenode you won't need to have a copy of the blockchain, nor a heavy DB for Armory itself. We do like the idea of supporting the network via full nodes though, so maybe we'll come up with a hybrid node, which runs off of a full node for networking but grabs its wallet data from a supernode server. But that's far in the future =P In the words of Gavin, "Time to feed the trolls". Gavin has a dangerous and irresponsible attitude toward properly responding to criticism, and it doesn't help my confidence in your software to see you adopting it. That's a little harsh considering the context of etotheipi's comment. |

I thought Armory calls Bitcoin Core process and use them when Armory is executed? Thanks.
You can turn that off in File -> Settings, although it is on by default To confirm its working you need to monitor BitcoinQt's traffic, make sure it all goes through Tor's proxy, which is 127.0.0.1:9050 by default. As long as you get past that point, all of Bitcoin traffic is now behind Tor. Then it's a matter of getting Armory to connect to BitcoinQt. |

Hi, 1) Which is the recommend version for setting up a new (offline) wallet? 0.91.2 for creating & broadcasting and 0.90 for the offline one? I am afraid of the recent bugs. 2) I don't want to transfer the created & signed transactions by usb (ultra paranoid  ). After I move the armory offline bundle to the offline machine and back upped the wallet I never want to have a cd/usb stick in the offline computer again.How large is the average transaction and how long do you think will it take to type it by hand? if it can be done in 10minutes I am totally okay with that. 3) Is the torrent blockchain downloader included in all new armory versions (linux, windows, mac os)? I am not sure if it works on Mac OS. I started Armory, than bitcoin-qt. As far I can tell it does download the blockchain only with bitcoin-qt. Thanks! 1) For now old versions, even 0.8x can run as an offline signer. We highly recommend upgrading to 0.91.2, for the added security of the wallet sanity check on each run. Eventually, when we put out the multisig version, you'll have to upgrade, as the transaction distribution format has changed to accomodate for multisig. With 0.92, we'll ship the new wallet format, so then you'll have to upgrade to create the new wallets. 2) A single in with 2 outs (spend + change) is something like 65 bytes for the uncompressed the public key, 65 for the sig, about 25 bytes per outputs so give and take 180 bytes. At 2 characters per bytes (hex encoded) you should be able to do it under 10 minutes. There no signature on the way in of course, so that gives you an idea. Make sure to thouroughly verify the spend and change addresses. After 0.92, I should have enough time to finally complete the audio data channel. 3) Last time I checked, it doesnt work with OSX. Granted Im not sure how that part is evolving, ask Doug directly about that part. Hi there,
I tried to perform a search for this, but didn't get any straight answers. Can you launch/run Armory and also have it function as a full bitcoin node? If this isn't possible...I think it should be.
Thanks,
Quantum
There currently isnt a version of online Armory that doesnt require a full bitcoin node in the background. We will come up with a lite node eventually, but also a supernode. |

Try "Backup This Wallet" -> "Export Key List"
|
|
|
|
|
Start Armory in expert mode and click the number next to "Addresses Used" in the wallet's property window.

Hello.
I have fatal error on "Build Databeses" step of Armory first run. The order in which I did everything:
1) Installed Armory.
2) Installed Bitcoin-qt.
3) Waited days for Bitcoin-qt to sync.
4) Opened Armory, it said it cant find anything. So I installed "bitcoind" through terminal.
5) Opened Armory again - it did "wallet check" and "initializing bitcoin engine", but after that - crash.
I got fresh lastest Ubuntu, installed just for Bitcoin use. Please help.
You should make a ticket for that... Are you using Ubuntu 14.xx? |

So you would want to hide the balances per wallet. I think that's a great idea. Perhaps we can hide the balance of specified wallets and only show it in hover text.
Yes, I think so - although then I don't know what you would do with the totals. As I said, it's still a bit of a thought-in-progress. roy For now you could flag other loaded wallets as not yours then choose to only display the ones you marked as owned. Not very convenient but can get things done while we implement something better Is it possible to export a private key out of Armory, such that it can be used to sign transactions on some other platform or with outside code/script?
Start Armory in Expert mode, go to your wallet's properties window, choose 'Backup This Wallet' from the right panel options then pick the 'Export Key List' option. |

Update to 0.91, start in offline mode go to Help > Rebuild and Rescan Databases
|
|
|

download links on first page are broken.
About to release a new version, and the website is undergoing some updates too. |

He has 2 of these. One that is "online", used for email signing and encryption, one marked as "offline" used for release signing. Also you could try to verify the bitcoin signature.

Which key are you verifying against? You should have Alan's offline signing public key in your key ring before doing this.

Arch doesnt matter between Armory and Bitcoin Qt.

but if you want to make a cold storage it will be quite harder to use your coins for buying stuff etc.  If you want JUST to hodl ... cold wallet would be good option. So what is your purpose? Keep your coins safe of rotate them spend, earn, etc. If you intent to spend some coins on a regular basis but dont want to go through an offline txn for each purchase, keep most of your coins in cold storage, and a few in a hot wallet. |

Hi,
I'm running Armory-0.91 on Linux, and it crashes after it finishes synchronizing with the network. Once it starts 'Building Databases' I see a 'Connected 0 blocks' at the bottom then it shuts down.
Edit: it used to work fine a couple days ago.
Edit #2: I was going to try to rebuild the database using Help > Rebuild and Rescan Databases but I don't even have a Help menu, not even that menu at the top. Is this supposed to be only on Windows clients? I don't remember ever having this!
What distro are you using? |

I have to agree, and will now say the opposite of what I said before:
Forget that "private key" stuff, and stick to your paper wallet, as you were already doing. This is more than 99% sure.
With my previous suggestion, you add more uncertainity than you are removing.
To all of you: Be very careful with "individual private keys" and brainwallets. This probably is among the top 5 reasons people lose all their bitcoins.
Ente
Well yes and no. Low hanging fruit right now are people using an online wallet with 2FA, shoving all their coins in there and backing up the plain private keys in the hotmail account they used for their MMO subscription 10 years ago... |

Has anyone been able to run Armory on Tails OS?
That should be easier to set up, than regular tor, right?
Bitcoin-QT works fine in Tails, but Armory is stuck at "initializing bitcoin engine"
Turn off bitcoind auto management, and I hope you're not trying to download the chain off of Tor |

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=56424.msg6235772#msg6235772This gets BitcoinQt running behind Tor and Armory having an exclusive connection to your local BitcoinQt. At least it works as intented on my end. Obviously what etotheipi says stands. One of the most significant ways to get screwed on Tor is directing DNS requests outside of Tor. As long as Armory doesnt run its regular 'call back home routines', it should fine. Ideally, Armory should just redirect these through Tor, be we don't have a setting for http proxying, yet. If we stand to support Tor, we'll most likely make a dedicated switch for it. Not a priority right now though.
