I hope it could help

I moved Bitcoin and Armory database from
D:\Program Files (x86)\Armorydatabases\Bitcoin
D:\Program Files (x86)\Armorydatabases\NewArmory
to
D:\Armorydatabases\Bitcoin
D:\Armorydatabases\NewArmory

and changed the Armory shortcut from
D:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe" --datadir="D:\Program Files (x86)\Armorydatabases\NewArmory
to
D:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe" --datadir="D:\Armorydatabases\NewArmory

I started Armory, to change the Bitcoin home dir in Armory settings from
D:\Program Files (x86)\Armorydatabases\Bitcoin
to
D:\Armorydatabases\Bitcoin
AND THIS TIME ARMORY WAS ONLINE, during this change.

After exiting and restarting : OFFLINE !!!

I checked permissions, as you suggested : bitcoin.conf in D:\Armorydatabases\Bitcoin was not accessible : no rights to modify it, I had to take full new ownership and full permissions on this file with my new account in this new Windows install.

Now Armory is online !

THANK YOU !!!

I hope my abstract of changes may help others.

Hi

Sorry, I searched solutions on this forums, but nothing seems to work, or I don't understand...

I had a Windows 10 install with Armory 0.94.01 x64 and Bitcoin Core 0.12


Bitcoin Core was in C:\Program File\Bitcoin

Armory was in D:\Program Files (x86)\Armory

The shortcut to Armory was "D:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe" --datadir="D:\Program Files (x86)\Armorydatabases\NewArmory"

In Armory settings :
"Let Armory run Bitcoin-Core..." was checked
Bitcoin install dir was C:\Program File\Bitcoin
Bitcoin home dir was D:\Program Files (x86)\Armorydatabases\Bitcoin


All was working fine.


After formatting and reinstalling Windows 10 :

I installed again Bitcoin Core 0.12 to C:\Program File\Bitcoin

I installed again Armory 0.94.01 x64 to D:\Program Files (x86)\Armory

I configured Armory shortcut as "D:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe" --datadir="D:\Program Files (x86)\Armorydatabases\NewArmory"

I configured Armory settings as :
"Let Armory run Bitcoin-Core..." checked
Bitcoin install dir : C:\Program File\Bitcoin
Bitcoin home dir was : D:\Program Files (x86)\Armorydatabases\Bitcoin

As before, so...


But now, when starting Armory it stays stuck in Offline (my wallets are correctly opened).


I installed Armory 0.94.1 over 0.94.01 and Bitcoin 0.13 over 0.12, same config, but no changes...


Any idea, please !??

Thnak you :-)

Panda86 only writes facts

fact : he has a lot of Cloak, he is so a big investor and so, supporter (and his disappointment following some bad news, decisions or broken promises is normal)

fact : his Cloaks are useless and zero value, there is no interest in Cloak from noboby now

fact : when people here ask too much questions or criticize Cloak, there are quickly agressive or mocking reactions from team or people close to Cloak team, but no good answers (not really Peace and love philosophy neither)

fact : the silence of Cloak team is a mystery

fact : either the Cloak dev team has abandonned Cloak and do nothing else, either dev team has abandonned Cloak and is working on something else instead on working on Cloak, despite all the speech "Buy Cloak - best tech - bright future - best coder - final wallet is ready - PR is paid, ready and coming - all is OK" (facts).

Sorry but I don't know how we could believe things are going to get better. And all this monumental failure and lies destroy any credibility in any new or parallel project from Cloak team, how could we have trust again. If the team is not able to complete the present project (told us almost finished... like Alty), nor even repair what is broken (OneMobile...), how could we even imagine them succeeding to start a new project from zero and support them, what a joke.

For as we see (facts !), Cloak is at same level of when Alty gave up the project to Cashmen in a previous October.
Final wallet missing
Zero value of Cloak
Zero interest of people
Zero use of Cloak
Only promises or pretty videos
Missing paid and promised PR
Dev team missing, not answering, or starting other projects
One Market at same level of dev as with Alty

Even worse : Cloak code was opensource with Alty and we were able to have a look at all and see progress or problems, now all is hidden mysterious code.

As far as we know, Cashmen could even be Alty... and the present situation a continued Cloak scam long term operation from the same people as beginning.

I have a lot of facts, conclusions, thinkings, many questions on Cloak/OneC/new project, some humble advices, and even maybe a microscopic way to save the Cloak project with a real life use of Cloak, but I don't have time to write it correctly here for now, way too big text. And I have now other big successful projects in my life, Cloak is no more one of my priority, even if I still "like" it because it was my first involvement in a cryptocurrency team, 15 months ago, and because I'm still an investor too... but nothing changed during this 15 last months, things even got way worse !

I would be happy to be wrong, or that somebody prove me I'm wrong, but all the facts and other red flags prove me there is a high probability I'm right.

Une déclaration sur la divulgation MWR Labs
Publié par: Riccardo Spagni (fluffypony)

Déclaration

Il semble y avoir certaines idées fausses et même carrément fausses déclarations déployés autour de la RPC "bug" non authentifié qui a été «découvert» par MWR Labs, et nous aimerions faire certains faits de l'affaire claire.

Tout d'abord, il est important de se rappeler que Monero est un projet open-source non capitalisé, et le projet ne se déplace aussi vite que les bénévoles qui mettent leur temps et d'efforts. L'équipe fait Monero de base en tant que gardiens du projet, mais nous ne pouvons pas représenter chaque développeur possible ou contributeur, et nous ne pouvons certainement pas représenter tous les utilisateurs. Ainsi, cette déclaration est de notre position et nous seuls.

MWR Labs a bel et bien nous contacter et responsable divulguer l'attaque CSRF. Ce ne fut pas un problème inconnu de la communauté - voir, par exemple, cet StackExchange commentaire: http://monero.stackexchange.com/a/777/47, et cela a également été mis en évidence par Juliano Rizzo de Coinspect en 2014.

En vérité, l'authentification RPC a pris quelque chose d'un siège arrière, comme nous avons travaillé sur le remplacement de la couche RPC avec 0MQ, qui a un support pour le chiffrement et l'authentification. L'interface RPC va vivre dans un stub indépendant, et gagnera l'authentification et le soutien TLS lorsque quelqu'un est disposé et apte à travailler. En outre, le Monero GUI officiel ne pas utiliser la couche RPC, et met en œuvre directement le libwallet_api pour toutes ses fonctions de porte-monnaie.

Le RPC unauthenticated est avéré utile, si, comme il est le seul moyen pour les échanges, les piscines minières et les intégrateurs pour intégrer Monero. Echanges, les piscines et les intégrateurs ne sont pas en danger avec cette attaque CSRF, car il est impensable qu'un service de garde serait l'hôte d'un portefeuille à chaud sur un ordinateur équipé d'un navigateur - ce sont des systèmes extrêmement sensibles et le porte-monnaie chaude seraient hébergés dans un extrêmement environnement bien défendu, avec la plupart des fonds dans un portefeuille hors site à froid, de peur que tous les fonds déposés volés.

Ainsi, les bibliothèques telles que MoneroNJS et Monero NodeJS ne peuvent pas être considérés comme «vulnérables» à cela, parce qu'ils sont des bibliothèques qui sont utilisés par les intégrateurs et non par un logiciel qui fonctionnerait sur une machine avec un navigateur en arrière-plan. Aucun système automatisé qui a un portefeuille chaud ne devrait jamais fonctionner dans un tel environnement précaire, et les développeurs sont très conscients de cela. Les déclarations de MWR Labs affirmant que ces bibliothèques sont vulnérables sont techniquement vrai, dans un sens, mais cette observation est comme dire que tous les portefeuilles Monero sont à risque si vous utilisez "password" comme mot de passe et publiez également votre fichier de portefeuille sur Dropbox et partager le lien sur Reddit - techniquement vrai, mais une observation en grande partie inutile.

De même, les allégations de MWR Lab de certains portefeuilles étant vulnérables est tout aussi inutile. MoneroGui.Net, par exemple, a une note énorme sur le README soulignant que le projet est arrêté. La même chose vaut pour bitmonero-qt et MiniNodo, qui sont tous deux unmaintained. Tous ces portefeuilles pourraient même ne pas fonctionner avec la version actuelle de Monero, ils sont donc techniquement vulnérables, mais il est même pas possible pour quiconque de les utiliser.

Les deux seuls portefeuilles dans la liste de MWR Lab qui sont réellement vulnérables, et sont effectivement utilisés, sont bigreddmachine est Google Chrome portefeuille et lightWallet2 de jwinterm. En réponse à la divulgation, nous avons ajouté un patch rapide pour fournir un moyen pour ces deux portefeuilles pour empêcher l'attaque. Ils ont, à leur tour, patchés leurs clients en conséquence.

Nous ne sommes pas activer la fonctionnalité par défaut pour plusieurs raisons:

  1.  Si nous avions fourni un drapeau pour désactiver la fonctionnalité, il créerait un faux sentiment de sécurité si l'un des portefeuilles développés activement décidé de passer tout ce drapeau comme une «solution» rapide.
  2.  Il aurait brisé toutes les piscines d'exploitation minière, et depuis le logiciel de la piscine de l'exploitation minière est largement fragmenté et non maintenu au centre il y a une grande chance que les opérateurs de la piscine aurait eu du mal à ajouter le support de leur propre gré (à moins que nous avons ajouté un indicateur d'invalidation, qui vient conduit au point numéro 1)
  3.  Il aurait battu tous les intégrateurs et les commerçants, et ils doivent coder dans un sous-système qui va tomber dans quelques mois une fois que nous avons eu la chance de ré-adresse la question de l'authentification RPC.

Il est important de souligner que ce ne sont pas un défaut dans Monero, ou dans la mise en œuvre ou dans les procédés de cryptographie. Cela ne veut pas même quelque chose que vous pourriez rencontrer en utilisant simplement monero-wallet-cli. Vous devez utiliser activement monero-wallet-cli en mode RPC, sur une machine particulièrement vulnérable, puis cliquez sur un lien malveillant sur un site Web en utilisant un navigateur sur le même ordinateur.

Non seulement ce patché, mais les deux clients activement développés qui ont été réellement affectés par ce ont été patché, et cela a été fait d'une manière qui ne perturbe pas le logiciel côté serveur existant.

Plus important encore, depuis monero-wallet-cli ne permet pas le mode RPC par défaut, il n'y a rien qui est vulnérable en elle à moins que l'utilisateur active activement un paramètre qui permet à quelqu'un de contrôler à distance le porte-monnaie.

Nous espérons que MWR Labs noter dans leur conseil, et l'ajuster en conséquence.

- L'équipe de base Monero

I know Monero is Cryptonote based (natively including ring signatures), very improved and with new features later and still now.
I know Shadowcash is a merge of Bitcoin base and ring signatures system taken from Cryptonote.
I know Cloakcoin is Bitcoin base + Coinjoin code configured to use random nodes, + Onion routing (taken from Tor ?)

What I wanted to say, is, once your cryptography, technology, system and code are innovative, improved, complex, huge... there is no interrest for somebody or a band of people to clone this coin. Too much work to understand it perfectly, modify a little bit to say it's different and new (and still working...), and impossible to reach the community level power of the original opensource coin that they copied. Each dev team and community of the original opensource coins will always understand better and control better and improve better and faster their sourcecode and be a step forward of those who copy and have not the same experience, skills and community. It's why Monero and Shadowcash are not copied now. The smartest way to get benefits of their code is to join the project, help it and get money in return, instead of wasting time, money energy to make a pale copy always a step behind the strong original.

Of course, there is always a risk. But if the secret code of Cloak is so fantastic, I don't know what you are afraid of. And a lot of people could help to find and fix the bugs and flaws, instead of one dev (yes, statistically there ARE such many unfound bugs).

A this stage, nothing to lose, much to win. Other coin are opensource and prosper from community contribution, without being copied. Of course, it's not compatible with dictatorship.

And, it's the beauty of opensource, we could even dream that a new Cloak contributor could merge a system like opensource InstantX from Dash or Zerotime from VCash (Vanillacoin) into Cloak, and it would definitively be a terrific coin.

Of course, all this is supposing that Cloak's Bitcoin+nodelessCoinjoin+Onion is really a anon system as great and revolutionnary as everybody says (but nobody in public is able to verify that because of closed source, so, no interrest in Cloak). The original Coinjoin has flaws in privacy and anonymity. If the improved nodeless Coinjoin by Cloak dev + Onion is a combination proven to be really innovative and secure, and with new original code, you should no worry to be copied, like I said above. You'll attract people, who will help Cloak, success, without copying. Better to get onboard the train than re-inventing the wheel from zero...

Polo don't want cloak,because they need to see the source code.

https://poloniex.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/1000229325-how-can-i-get-a-coin-listed-on-poloniex-

The low volume should not be a problem, as 5-10 altcoins are on Poloniex with lower volume than Cloak (in average for some months).

So let's opensource this fucking code, to have a small chance to let Cloak live and prosper. Last chance and hope, or definitvely dead. As for now, nobody want this closed useless code and there is no interest in Cloak. Nothing to loose at this stage of failure. Only good could happen, if something happens. Nothing could be worse as yet, for all we know, because we are left in dark, like always.

Monero and Shadowcash are opensource, and nobody copy the code to make clones or stealth the technology. As creator of the code and specialists of the cryptography behind Cloak (like XMR or SDC experts teams are for their coins), Cloak dev team will always understand better Cloak technology and have an advance compared to guys who want to steal tech and copy-paste the cloak innovation. Not worth the work to clone, when the original team will (?) always be a step before you.

What are you afraid of.

Or, give to Poloniex the last sourcecode they ask, to let them accept Cloak on Polo, and don't publish this code publicly, if you want. Ask Polo to not diffuse the code. Or make them sign a paper of No Disclosure Agreement, some lawyer expert in intellectual property should be able to write this for cheap. I even think you could find free models of NDA on internet...

What are you afraid of.

After Cloak is on Polo, release the final 2.0 wallet and launch the PR buzz you told us for more than a year that you have money prepared for, and the PR office only waiting for your autorisation to launch the PR they already prepared.

I own a card by them, works well

There is also https://www.litebit.eu/en/buy/monero and https://www.litebit.eu/en/sell/monero

And their company Litepaid for Webshops : But doesn't seem to accept XMR for now

I had to speak the 9 September with support of https://anycoindirect.eu/en (allows you to sell/buy some coins with a lot of payment systems directly in Euros), and I asked at the end of conversation if they plan to add Monero :

"Yes, we are working on the integration. We expect to launch XMR trading next week or early the week after. When we launch XMR trading we will announce this on our website and social media."

It's a great site, with great customer support, I have worked with them for quite a long time.

Non, par curiosité j'ai fouiné un peu et quasi tout de suite j'en ai trouvé un qui fait -10% si payement par XMR...

Bien sûr, ça dépend des vendeurs et de ce qu'ils décident de faire comme offre ou pas...

Echange d'emails avec eux

Message from LitePaid.com, the LiteBit.eu altcoins payment gateway plugin for webshops :

"At this moment we are working on the accepment of Monero."

So, soon, directly possible to pay with XMR on most modern webshops with this free plugin.

Message de LitePaid.com, le plugin gratuit de payement de LiteBit.eu pour payer en altcoins sur les systèmes webshops modernes majoritaires :
