I updated to last version (0.96-beta-a3d01aa722) but often it crashes with windows 7 64 bit, instead compiling the software with ubuntu 16.04 it works very well (i use online armory with windows and offline armory with ubuntu for signing transactions)

log is this:

-ERROR - 1506449196: (..\SocketObject.cpp:285) POLLERR error in readFromSocketThread
-ERROR - 1506449196: (..\BitcoinP2P.cpp:1027) caught SocketError exception in processDataStackThread: POLLERR error in readFromSocketThread
-INFO  - 1506449196: (..\BitcoinP2P.cpp:969) Disconnected from Bitcoin node

dunno if this can help but checking task manager the only process that remains open after armoryqt.exe crash is "guardian.exe"

i downgraded bitcoind to v0.15.0 because with v0.15.0.1 armory starts but hangs up indefinitely while checking the database.

any help is appreciated

Thanks

I have the same issue of another user with osx but I have windows 7 64 bit, after finished syncing and scanning the blockchain the program (armory 0.93.3)gives me an error and leaves me no choice but to close. It gives me the chance to rebuilt the database the next restart, a procedure already tried twice that has not solved the problem.
I wonder if this is not a problem with folder permissions? i've no clue but with previous armory 0.93.2 the problem was absent.

the error is "The scanning process interrupted unexpectedly, armory will now shutdown. IF the error persist, you will have to rebuilt and rescan your database........"

the log is this (windows username and wallet id censored), i use only watch version of armory for online pc

After installing ubuntu 16.04.2 lts i installed armory package 0.96 but it doesn't work, i can't even see the icons looking for armory with nautilus and executing armoryQT under /usr/lib/armory it doesn't work too, the program simply won't start.
For now i'm still using 0.95.1 that works nicely, i really wonder what is wrong with the new version probably some issue with dependencies.
Is it possible to include with the 0.96 also all the dependencies required? would be very useful instead of leaving less expert users like me in the total darkness:)
Thanks

Ho letto di un povero disgraziato che pasticciando con il wallet.dat ha perso molti mesi fa 9000 bitcoins.
Conoscendo il blocco e la chiave pubblica, sarebbe possibile tentare un "address collision" per cercare di prendere il controllo di quei bitcoins?

"If you were to intentionally try to make a collision, it would currently take 2^126 times longer to generate a colliding Bitcoin address than to generate a block. As long as the signing and hashing algorithms remain cryptographically strong, it will likely always be more profitable to collect generations and transaction fees than to try to create collisions"

pare non ci sia speranza penso, ma quei 9000 btcs la' mi fanno gola:) e 10 giorni fa un altro povero cristo ha perso 7208 btc che oggi valgono 200 mila dollari, non si e' + visto sul forum , si sara' suicidato:)

Apro questo topic per segnalarvi il canale europeo su irc freenode
Io ci sono spesso, potrebbe essere una buona idea piuttosto che usare quella schifezza di facebook che come chat non vale niente.
Magari usando gli stessi nick cosi ci riconosciamo.
Io mi collego al server di milano: calvino.freenode.net
il canale e' #bitcoin-otc-eu e siamo europei, si parla l'inglese, volendo si potrebbe fare anche un canale #it

ciao!
