Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Transactions not appearing in Armory 0.93.3

Quote from: goatpig on December 09, 2015, 03:21:30 AM Quote from: x.madisco on December 09, 2015, 02:48:51 AM Happy to report though that after a long Core download from scratch followed by an Armory rebuild/rescan, things appear to be working again! Hopefully I'll never have to do that again :-O Backup your Core data folder to ease the pain next time. Not re-assuring at all, but I have a lot of backups and Core running on various machines that I could have used ;-)

Quote from: goatpig on December 07, 2015, 04:55:14 AM I'm not familiar with Core's code but I expect it was due to Core. Armory only ever reads those files and doesn't attempt to lock out other processes so it doesn't interfere with Core flushes either. Maybe, but since core was running fine all along, it definitely manifests as an Armory issue.

Quote from: Carlton Banks on December 07, 2015, 01:55:37 PM Bear in mind that Bitcoin Core on Windows frequently has problems where some blocks don't get committed to disk. Version 0.11.2 mitigates this somewhat, and there are more fixes in 0.12 (all Windows only, Linux and Mac versions are apparently not affected by these problems) Sorry, should have mentioned -- 100% GNU/Linux here.

I guess a heavier version is also an option. You dont have much of a choice in the matter. Usually I'd recommend deleting the blkXXXXX.dat files up to the missing blocks, but at height ~200000k you're barely 5GB into the blockchain, simpler to just nuke it all. I am still in the process of re-downloading the Core blockchain from scratch and I'll report back if it's fixed after that's complete and armory completes a rescan. If it's worth anything, I don't know how the file got corrupted so I'm curious if you have any insight into this. I'm not a new user and have been running this particular installation of Core/Armory together for about 2 years now through thick and thin (i.e. software and hardware upgrades), and this was the first major snag that caused Armory wallet downtime.

Quote from: goatpig on December 06, 2015, 04:11:47 PM Quote from: x.madisco on December 06, 2015, 04:54:54 AM Thanks for the quick response! So to be clear, I can do the factory reset and once it's complete, have full functionality back with my existing wallets? Factory reset nukes your DB, Core's blocks and defaults your settings. It doesn't touch wallets nor lockboxes. Quote Any idea what would have caused this? Core is either missing a block in one of its blkXXXXX.dat or the block got mangled and the valid one was written after it. Core does not delete mangled blocks nor overwrites them. Armory is chocking on the mangled block (it's probably not mangled enough for Armory to just skip it). The upcoming version handles these kind of cases properly. Ok, thanks for addressing, and that makes sense. I did the factory reset over night and it just completed, but again it's stuck at block 191534. It sounds like my options are now: 1) Wait for a newer version of Armory (acceptable if coming out in the near future), or 2) Re-download all of the blockchain in bitcoin core and then rescan in Armory. Anything else you can think of? EDIT: To be clear, I did the lightest option factory reset. I guess a heavier version is also an option.

Quote from: goatpig on December 06, 2015, 04:47:28 AM Quote from: x.madisco on December 06, 2015, 04:18:53 AM I have a similar issue, but possibly not the same one. I'm running Armory 0.93.3 and Bitcoin Core 0.11.2. I normally run both Bitcoin Core and Armory 24/7. Bitcoin Core is up to to date and always current (i.e. receiving blocks without issue). Armory one day crashed and said I needed to factory reset (no idea why). I restarted with a rebuild and rescan figuring it might fix things. It didn't. Armory always stops at block 191534. I tried a few times and every time I rescan or rebuild/rescan, it always come up and appears ready at block 191534. Meanwhile, Bitcoin Core chugs along normally (currently at block 386938). A few questions: Is Armory compatible with Bitcoin Core 0.11.2? Do I need to do the factory reset to resolve this? Does a factory reset remove all wallets and require that they be re-imported? 1) Yes 2) Yes 3) No Thanks for the quick response!

Quote from: duuuuude on December 02, 2015, 03:49:15 AM just use the energy you have on a new coin, one without so much negativity and scamming around it. Agreed. It's pretty hard to come back from a coin with a history of a scam.

Litecoin. It's the only altcoin that has a secure network via hashing.

Quote from: koryu on December 03, 2015, 09:04:37 AM Litecoin Difficulty up by 19.44% This is an important metric. The hashing power directly impacts the network security, which in some sense is the strength of the network.

If bitcoin goes down below $200 litecoin will surely be dead for sure. Curious why you say that. Bitcoin was below $200 not that long ago and litecoin is still going :-)

If you think about all the hype you hear from industry and the financial sector about blockchains, you can understand why there's a powerful need for altcoins. Whether it's a truly separate blockchain, or one that's somehow linked to the bitcoin blockchain, there is so much room for crypto-currencies to flourish. And they can and will exist. Altcoins allow experimentation, but more importantly, they allow attempts to solve problems that bitcoin (the currency) can't (and shouldn't) address.
