Why Back? You can just simply have both installed with different Installationdirectorys Wink And why 0.93.3 and not 0.94.1?
I just tried 0.94.1 and it appears to be working.

Now pls backup the guardian.exe File from C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory and install 0.95 then copy it back. Thats all
No such luck. I even tried reindexing my Bitcoin database and then ran ArmoryDB. ArmoryQT in debug mode spams out...

Armory 0.93.3 and 0.94.1 work fine, but not 0.95.0. Maybe it's because I'm using an old AMD 1090T processor?

Now I'm confused Tongue if 0.94.1 works 0.95 should also work (after pasting guardian.exe in it) but I think it is now becasue of an processor.
Have you also deleted databases in %appdata%\Armory\? if yes and it still does not work pls try BitCoin Core 0.13.1 (27.10.2016)
May with the newest Bitcoin it works for you, for me it also works with 0.13.1

I tried it again. ArmoryDB went fine, but when I run ArmoryQT I still get...

(DEBUG) SDM.pyc:794 - generic jsonrpc exception

Eventually ArmoryDB pops up on its own, but it uses the default path which doesn't exist.

Maybe it's because I am using Windows 10? Bitcoind does run in the background with ArmoryQT. Back to 0.93.3.

I'm running 0.95 on Windows 10 x64 so it's not related to Windows 10.
If you have TeamViewer I may could help you

BTW which BitCoin Version are you running? Pls update to v0.13 (as it is the minimum requirement --> https://btcarmory.com/0.95.0-release/ )

Did you try skipping ArmoryDB and run ArmoryQT without it?

It's an annoyance to regenerate 59GB's worth of files.

This will result in the same thing becasue ArmoryQT is starting ArmoryDB itself. At this 0.95 version there is a bug and it starts in visible (normaly it starts it in the Background) but it starts it anyway.
Btw you dont have to regenerate 59GB, it just creates 700MB DB;) (Building DB and scanning takes for me 10 min on SSD)
5  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armoury 0.95 - "Building database" forever on: October 24, 2016, 02:07:14 AM

Well this just partly works, now I got this by starting ArmoryDB manually:

That was the error I got before I emptied the Armory data directory. When you empty the directory, ArmoryDB.exe will work without error, but that doesn't mean ArmoryQT will work.

I know, this happens because guardian.exe is missing in the 0.95 Windows installationfile.
Pls just watch the post above you
6  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armoury 0.95 - "Building database" forever on: October 24, 2016, 01:38:35 AM
For all Windowsuser getting the same error like me and getting this error in ArmoryQT.exe.log:

Quote

FileExistsError

Download this File (guardian.exe 109 KB) :

Zippyshare
Mega.nz
G-Drive

if you dont trust me (this files) download 0.94.1 and install it to another directory. Then continue with your own guardian.exe

place this file in the installationdirectory (standard is C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory)

If you now got this error by running ArmoryDB.exe:

Close and exit Armory (even in the tray)
Go to %appdata%\Armory\ and delete the folder called databases then start ArmoryDB.exe again.
After it finished start ArmoryQT.exe and wait (on HDD maybe about 5min) now ArmoryDB.exe starts itself and does everything what is necessary.

Have fun.


Proof of work -->

I guess there will be a 0.95.0.1 with including guardian.exe

@goatpig: on Windows I have to wait about 1 min when I start ArmoryQT (like this) untill it starts ArmoryDB itself. Could you pls watch out what makes it taking so long?
Thanks!

I had to run ArmoryDB.exe as Admin and first garant network access. (without admin it stuck at #96)
BTW: ArmoryQT.exe.log shows me:

But in the end nothing changed and it's still not working
For me it looks like you forgot to add Guardian to the 0.95-Bundle of Windows Wink

For me it looks like this forever: https://i.imgur.com/hvjDUtX.png

Even after 1 and a half day completly online nothing happend
9  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory 0.94.1 is out on: September 20, 2016, 11:48:40 AM
Ok. This is what happened.

The transfered money is where it should be! and already got over 20 confirmes, but I still cant see the Details or even open the transaction at https://blockchain.info as I cant see any details of the transaction.

Even deleted the DB twice just to make sure the DB is builded correctly.
Now my friend confirmed the money is at his account but the fact of this Errormessage and that I cant see any details of this transaction bugs me quiet a lot Tongue

Is there any solution for this problem?



Thanks in advance!

Hi guys just send some money with Armory 0.94.1 and got this error.



The Error is "Invalide Tx"
If the money now gone forever??
11  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory 0.94.1 is out on: September 20, 2016, 03:28:34 AM
For you, it should be %appdata%/Armory Delete the folder named "databases" and then start Armory.

Damn.. that gave me 80GB Huh how is this possible? The whole Blockchain is just 70GB. But as long as it works I dont complain about getting back 80GB of my SSD Smiley

Phone home code is any code that communicates back to a server controlled by the developers (i.e. it phones home).

Oh ok but how will the new Update-System work then?

That is the link. All releases will be announced there with links to the downloads.

Thanks!

Working on it. It will likely be available in 0.95.1. If you want to help with that, we have a Transifex project open at https://www.transifex.com/bitcoin-armory/public/. You can help translate the project to another language.

Already started Wink
12  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory 0.94.1 is out on: September 20, 2016, 03:04:06 AM
Yes, the database format has changed so it is both much faster to rebuild and rescan and much smaller than the original. You should delete the old databases to free up a lot of space (several 10s of GBs). If you delete the databases folder inside the data directory, it will remove the old databases and the new ones, but don't worry, the new ones will be rebuilt very quickly.

Thanks for the reply!
Sorry but all this Armory things are pretty new for me. Could you pls tell me which directorys/Files I have to delete? Running Windows 10 x64 Enterprise and had the normal installation (no custom settings/paths).

No, that is how it is supposed to be. The updater stuff was removed since the announcements server is no longer working, the development has changed leadership, no announcements server is set up that we can use, and we don't want any phone home code. It may be reintroduced later if we decide to.

What is a 'phone home code'?
Oh thats sad. where can I find the latest stable version of Armory? Is it this Link https://btcarmory.com/releases/ ? Or is there any other link for stable versions?

Is there any option to change language?

Thank you very much in advance!
13  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory 0.94.1 is out on: September 20, 2016, 02:39:46 AM
Without fail Armory 0.94.1 crashes when it starts "Loading Database Headers".

I am fully in sync with Bitcoin Core. I did not have this issue with 0.93.3. OS: Windows 10.

Is there a layman's reason for upgrading to 94.1? Will 0.93.3 ever not be able to receive transfers while online?



I appreciate any help regarding resolving this error, thank you very much.

Hey mate had the same problem, just click (while loading) at the Top menü >> Help >> Rebuild and Rescan Databases >> close the whole Armory and start it again >> be happy  Wink
14  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory 0.94.1 is out on: September 20, 2016, 02:33:31 AM
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I just upgraded to 0.94.1 from 0.93.3 (old Website) and had to rescan and rebuild Databases to make the programm pass the Step with reading the Header.

Now it all works Smiley but I cant find any update function anymore... is it gone or is something at my programm wrong?

Thanks in advance!
