I decided I better run Armory every few days to keep things current so I do not have issues again. Well I ran it two days ago fine and today the update wheel is stuck on "build databases."  Seems I have to keep deleting the databases as instructed above?  This will get old fast. Sigh.

In other news, my C: drive is almost full, how can I move the database files to my rather empty D: drive and have Armory see the new location?

I shut them down by clicking File, Close. And I wait for the box saying it is shutting down to go away.

Okay as it is rebuilding now I had a quick pop up from Malwarebytes:

Outbound connection to 205.185.120.277 port 59103 blocked due to trojan

File trying to access: C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind.exe

So I can either add an exclusion and let the file go to that IP, or something it up. My machine is clean. Maybe a false positive?

Okay it broke again.

I noticed Armory was offline, even though it showed a balance and was supposedly up to date.  I closed Armory and opened Bitcoin Core and got an alert that the databases were corrupted. I said okay to a repair and it started with a date like seven years ago. Then it updated and all was fine, bit now I have the original problem back of Armory stalled.

So, do I need Bitcoin core? Is that the problem? I'm going to do the same fix, delete the files that made it work the first time, but this should not be happening I don't think.

IT WORKED I AM ONLINE!!!  Thank you so much!!!!

Now if I can be a small bother one more time, where do I go from here?  I go to pages to buy stuff and get a Bitpay link and can't do anything with that. Moving the btc to another program costs money each time.

I really appreciate all your help, thank you!

Deleted.  States it will take 52 mins to build databases.  Stay tuned!

I was on 96.5 but then saw it was a beta so went back.  Back on 96.5 now.



Core is latest version. Ran it, it took about 3 minutes to update. Then I ran 0.96.5 and after the startup screen got the Disconnected message here:




Thought that was the one I was using but installed from your link, and it appears to be the same.

After clearing the "Disconnected" error message I have Node Status green, Build Databases is grayed out, and I'm not even to Scanning transaction history.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Went to 96.0, didn't realize I was on beta. On startup I receive the error: "Disconnected. Connection to Bitcoin Core client lost! Armory cannot send nor receive bitcoins until connection is re-established."

I bet that's not uncommon.

Been ages since I logged on. Years. Updated the Bitcoin Core and Armory, they were way old. Well before updating it showed my balances fine but I knew I was way out of date. So install, and.... stop.

Came here, read links. Made sure the right folder was used in Armory. Did lots of tweaking. Waiting 48 hours. Nothing. Would appreciate any direction.

The ArmoryQT.exe.log shows errors, a help?:

I'll try to get the log file parsed for here.
