Haha no worries @goatpig.  You helped a bunch.

Yes I started ArmoryQt.  It's scanning but has been stuck overnight at 31%.


Everything restored after a few iterations of forcing the db to rebuild.
All Hail @GoatPig
Thanks bruv

Yes in BitcoinQt here are the Datadir and Blocksdir, respectively:
/home/*USERNAME*/snap/bitcoin-core/common/.bitcoin
/home/*USERNAME*/snap/bitcoin-core/common/.bitcoin/blocks

Okay I got ArmoryDB and tried that same command:
 ./ArmoryDB --satoshi-datadir=/home/*USERNAME*/snap/bitcoin-core/common/.bitcoin

Seems to be working on the db right now... so not a permissions issue...
Will check back in a few hours once it's all done.




It finished, here's the output:

-DEBUG - 1702343930: (Blockchain.cpp:242) Organizing chain
-INFO  - 1702343939: (DatabaseBuilder.cpp:56) updated HEADERS db in 8045.85s
-INFO  - 1702343939: (BlockUtils.cpp:1206) Enabling zero-conf tracking

Now I did everything else... lol 0.0000 BTC balance...  No idea...

Yes I installed via snap.   I'll try again first with what you have suggested @goatpig.  Thank you.


Hi @goatpig, when I tried your suggestion, "./ArmoryDB --satoshi-datadir=/home/*USERNAME*/.bitcoin" the only option that comes up is ./ArmoryQt.py.  I tried that though instead but then got:
Code:
Directory "/home/*/.bitcoin" does not exist!  Using default!

    raise self.BadPath, "Invalid blockdata path"

It looks like all the path issues with snap are the problem...  From here, as it stands though what could I try next? 
Should I go ahead and wipe bitcoin-core off my machine and install it from the official tgz and start fresh?
Looking forward to getting this handled.
Thanks so much @goatpig

I recall reading about bitcoinind somewhere in the forums but I don't remember where...  Sorry for my complete amateur mistake but I cannot for the life of me figure out what I need to do from here... Bitcoin-core needs to be running in the background right or is that a thing of the past?
6  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Paper wallet restored properly but Armory still stuck in Offline mode on: November 27, 2023, 07:11:28 PM
@hosseinimr93 got it, yes it was pruned unfortunately... redownloading the blockchain now.
@goatpig, so yep it was in pruned mode...
7  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Paper wallet restored properly but Armory still stuck in Offline mode on: November 26, 2023, 10:07:21 PM
Bitcoin-core data is all being stored in the following folders it looks like:
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/blocks

I don't know what pruned mode is... I'll look for def on the forum though.

I hope that this is not answered somewhere else -- if so, kindly post a link to the solution if known.  Otherwise here goes....

So I'm on macOS Sonoma 14.1.1 (23B81) M1 and I got an older version of Armory to load on my machine.  (v95 -- I know it's an old one but it's the only one for which all dependencies seemed to be met)

I had messed with everything on an old Ubuntu machine and I still will be intermittently if I can't get things up and running on my Mac. It seems way closer on the Mac at this point.

I have encountered the "stuck in offline mode" related posts across the forum but so far nothing I have tried has worked.

@goatpig if this is a fools errand please let me know.  I know that the wallet restores properly so all I need is to get bitcoin-core on my Ubuntu machine (already done, it's syncing currently) and go at it from that direction that's cool too.  I just prefer working with everything tangential to finances on one machine.

Anyway it looks like my synced bitcoin-core-25.1 is not linking over into Armory properly... somehow...

Here is my big ugly log file:
