For the paranoid kind, you can always print a few pages full of characters to overwrite the printer's cache.

I think SecurePrint is because some printers store all pages that have ever been printed?

Any printer has cache, some heavy duty enterprise level printers come with a harddrive. Regardless of the printer, it is reasonable to assume some of the data you have printed may still be within the printer's memory until you override it. SecurePrint ensures that data is encrypted.

It is also useful for network printer, which require you to expose the data to print to your entire network.

Armory wallets are deterministic. You do not need to print the private keys the wallets hold, only the root keys. There is a "SecurePrint" feature with printing paper backups for that purpose.

For the paranoid kind, you can always print a few pages full of characters to overwrite the printer's cache.
3883  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Using bitcoind for armory and other things on: February 09, 2014, 05:00:11 AM
I do not think there will be an issues if both Armory and counterpartyd are run separately. I'm not familiar with counterpartyd so I can't tell you for sure if it can be run concurrently with Armory.

I suspect counterpartyd connects to bitcoind through the RPC, so will require login/password settings that will conflict with Armory when it is auto managing bitcoind. Turn that off and you shouldn't have problems.
3884  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory - Discussion Thread on: February 07, 2014, 06:07:48 PM
Armory runs bitcoind.exe in the background right?  Is there a way to specify armory to run bitcoind.exe with the -server option? 

bitcoin.conf?
3885  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory - Discussion Thread on: February 07, 2014, 06:07:11 PM
I've imported the WO wallet on 3 computers now with similar results.  On rig 2 I got the wallet imported and scanned but it would crash frequently (with 30 minutes) and now does load without crashing.  On rig 3 I've done a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04, updated and installed bitcoind and qt from the ppa, synced the blockchain and I'm having similar symptoms as rig 2 and 1 now.

I moved back to using 0.88.1 on rig 1 and it hasn't crashed after a few days. 

Would it make sense to try to reimport (from the paper fragments I have) and export the WO wallet and see if that works better or is that unlikely to do anything different?

Do you mean this WO is ages old? I thought you had it exported from your recently restored wallets. If it is very old, now I really want to take a look at it.

Someome just recently sent us a WO that crashes Armory. I don't know if its yours but I'll be getting on it soon. I'm not gonna insist to see your WO until I'm done with the current one, however it may be very interesting. If anything don't delete it.

As for your test, you should try with a freshly derivated WO.
3886  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Multiple Armory Based Problems on: February 05, 2014, 07:17:04 AM
Did that - no luck.

So, I deleted Bitcoin QT and Armory completely, did completely fresh installs for both and then restored Armory from a paper backup - once transactions got done scanning, I tried to click on a button and ... Armory crashed. Now I am sad =( ...

Deleting BitcoinQt != deleting the blockchain, so just making sure: Did you delete and redownload the blockchain?

Did you restore you backup before or after you Armory built its DB? Have you tried with a watching only wallet?
3887  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory - Discussion Thread on: February 05, 2014, 01:56:02 AM
Okay I deleted everything in appdata/armory and added a new wallet "unused hack".  Let that sync.  Everything was peachy.  Stop and started Armory everything worked.
Added my offline wallet.  Crashed. Any Idea how I can fix this?  Or should I just hold tight?

Try that again with a watching only copy of your offline wallet. If that crashes too, send me a copy of your WO wallet and I can isolate the bug.
3888  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory - Discussion Thread on: February 04, 2014, 09:45:26 PM
I noticed it maxing out one core while scanning, but I wasn't watching just as it crashed.  Windows says that it's not responding (and it's not) and then it crashes.
I'll email you the log.  Thanks for looking.

Gone through your log file. This is caused by a bug that has been reported like a week ago. It's on my todo list after Im done with my current task. So I'll have more for you sometimes next week most likely.

For now, as I suggested, make sure you have at least one wallet loaded before letting Armory build its DB.
3889  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Retrieve private keys for online-generated address on: February 04, 2014, 05:50:57 AM
All of yo look like you have malformed blocks in your local copy of the blockchain. You're gonna have to delete it and redownload it.

wheeler: As for your private keys, you can use the new backup center feature to extract your private keys in version 0.90. Make sure to start it in Expert mode, then go to your wallet properties, pick 'Backup Wallet' then 'Export Key List'
3890  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: How to change path to both .armory and .bitcoin (36GB needed for both atm) on: February 04, 2014, 05:46:55 AM
In your .desktop file (in usr/share/applications), on the "Exec=" line, add your command line arguments before the %u
3891  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Latest Armory doesn't work with latest Ubuntu, is it just me? on: February 04, 2014, 05:44:27 AM
Copy paste the content of the .desktop file in here. Type this in your termina to open itl:

gedit /usr/share/applications/armory.desktop.

Do the Armory offline or Armory testnet icons work?
3892  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory - Discussion Thread on: February 04, 2014, 05:21:48 AM
Delete your local copy of the blockchain.

Nvm the first part. Just have that wallet sitting in Armory's datadir before building Armory's DB. Also, send me your log file at support@bitcoinarmory.com, link to your post so I can recognize you.

6. Import wallet the I created using "watching only copy"
Armory Scans Transaction history.  Then crashes.  

Does it crash or do you terminate the process yourself? Assuming the process is hanging, is Armory maxing one of your cores?
3893  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Multiple Armory Based Problems on: February 03, 2014, 03:36:51 AM
Delete your local copy of the blockchain and let BitcoinQt sync again.
3894  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: The tale of the long lost one year stuck Bitcoin on: February 01, 2014, 05:25:12 PM
*sigh*

Where does one begin to tell the tale?

I talked to the Armory representative that works on the forums here, they suggested I download this other version of Armory. What was my issue? Synchronizing was stuck at 94% and would not move past that point. Oh well, so it worked for some time. Until four months later, when the price of Bitcoin exploded. Excited, I wanted to get my Bitcoins out, but now, Armory won't even start! That's right, nothing happens when I click it!

Should I restart my computer and try it? After reinstalling, it's never been the same.

Right now, I desperately want to get my Bitcoins out of Armory and back to the normal Bitcoin client. I wanted security, but what's security without liberty to withdraw at will?

Help would be appreciated.

Tl;dr

I need to transfer Bitcoins from Armory, but Armory won't start.


You can simply start Armory in Offline mode and extract the private keys. If you have start up issues, delete the databases folder in Armory's datadir. If your scanning gets stuck, you most likely have malformed blocks in your local copy of the blockchain. We're working to fix that, however redownloading the blockchain fixes that usually.

This information is available in the Troubleshooting and FAQ sections of our website.
3895  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Is it possible to recover a backup created with armory with another software? on: January 31, 2014, 04:25:00 AM
We can't see ten years into the future, so, we can't answer that. Assuming github is up, and, Armory's developers don't tear down their source (Although, with the internet, a copy is always available), you could always implement it yourself, but, who says BTC exists in ten years? Who says the protocol is the same?

Eh, impossible to say, all we can say is that the wallet specifications are public as of now, so, someone could now, but, in ten years, :shrug:

You can't really take code out of github. People can always pull earlier commits. Github has this politic of never deleting anything pretty much.
3896  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory keep crashing with 'BDM was not ready for your request! Waited 20 sec.' on: January 31, 2014, 03:55:40 AM
Yep, same issue here... I have a wallet that I imported from a paper backup, after that Armory rescans the blockchain and then crashes.

Log is here

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ArmoryQt.py", line 4684, in Heartbeat
  File "ArmoryQt.py", line 1917, in finishLoadBlockchain
  File "armoryengine.pyc", line 7851, in fillAddressPool

  File "CppBlockUtils.pyc", line 1164, in addScrAddress_5_
TypeError: in method 'BtcWallet_addScrAddress_5_', argument 4 of type 'uint32_t'

This is an entirely more interesting error, I'll get someone on it, thanks for the log.

Edit: Guess I shot myself in the foot with this one. I hoped to get someone else on this issue but I got 'volunteered' for it =P

At any rate, thanks for the log files. The more details you can give me about your use of Armory before the crash occurs, the more clues it'll give me
3897  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory and Mac OS on: January 31, 2014, 03:52:55 AM
We hope sometimes in February, but nothing is set in stone yet.
3898  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory and Mac OS on: January 30, 2014, 06:38:33 AM
We're hoping to have a full Mac support by 0.91, which is the next release.

How stable is the Mac OS version of Armory?

Has quite a few UI related issues still. We recently got someone full time on it so the future is bright on that front.

If I wanted to set up an offline wallet, and I need to assign a "watching-only" wallet on a computer that already has a wallet, how do I change it?

Once that is done, how do I remove the key data from the watching only wallet once it is converted (assuming the old wallet had key data on it)?

Not too sure what you are describing here.

This is how you should be going about it anyways: Create your wallet on your offline machine, create a paper or fragmented backup, verify the backup, then create a watching only wallet of your wallet and take that your online computer.

You can outright copy WO wallet that file to your datadir or import it through the import option.

If you have a wallet which private keys have been exposed to the network for a long period of time I'd suggest just moving these funds to a proper offline wallet. You can get rid of the private keys through Armory. Pick Delete/Remove this Wallet in your wallet properties window.

The empty queue is not an error. Queue.Queue raises when it is empty, that's just its mechanism to report there's is nothing left to pop.

The version your reported for BitcoinQt is actually Qt's version, not Bitcoin.

You have to describe your behavior before the crash first. Then possibly send me a log file at support@bitcoinarmory.com
