I sync a node to convert to BTC during BCH peaks
Did you keep your BCH, Holliday? |

Use the latest RC but try deleting your Armory/databases folder before starting it.
If that doesn't work post your Armory logs on pastebin and post the links here and someone more knowledgeable than myself will probably help you.

Why is the price going down?  Doesn't the entire world want BTC, the money of the future? Money that you cannot spend, or transfer to a friend, or experiment with, or really do anything with except HODL and make memes about future lambos. Lightning Network is coming any day now and then fees will be low and merchant adoption will sky rocket! Except that LN doesn't even work in theory and even ignoring that it would still takes years to bootstrap an entirely new network because that's what LN is -- an independent network to bitcoin.I've had no issues what-so-ever spending Bitcoin in the past several months. Granted, I'm not trying to buy single glasses of wine with block chain transactions either... because I'm not an idiot. I do buy coffee though! Let me explain the process, it's simple. Buy one Amazon gift card for $2000 and then buy enough coffee to last me five years (I don't actually buy it all at once, I like fresh coffee). Transaction fees for five year's worth of coffee... a few bucks. Wow, layers already exist which make spending Bitcoins as easy as spending fiat. Imagine that, I don't need censorship-proof transactions every time I buy coffee... What a revelation! (Also, you can use the gift card for stuff other than coffee and there are lots of other vendors for which you can buy gift cards in case coffee isn't your thing.) It's a damn shame that you can't intentionally refuse to see that putting every transaction under the sun on a ledger that all full verifying nodes (those that do not want to trust another party) must obtain and keep forever is a terrible, horrible idea. Have you ever tried to run any software which uses a database interacting with the Bitcoin block chain? Probably not, since we only need like what... 3 full nodes worldwide? Acting like the recent decrease in Bitcoin's price has anything to do with scaling is disingenuous at best. Why is BCH worth less? Why isn't anyone using BCH (I sync a node to convert to BTC during BCH peaks, I see the amount of transactions, it's laughable)? Could someone at least run a bot to make it look like it's being used! Finally... for the love of all things holy, BCH is supposed to go UP when Bitcoin goes down, not drop even faster... How will I ever convert the rest of this stuff if moves like every other garbage altcoin under the sun? I'm probably wasting my time here... LN looks amazing, I don't know which articles you've been reading... |

Do I need to be a tails user for with url method?
No. Which of the methods will work with armory on windows 10?
Entering the invoice ID number into the "noscript" URL will provide you with an address and amount. While I have tried this with a few invoices, I haven't actually paid one yet only using the provided address and amount (I used a BIP70 wallet instead). However, it seems like it will work. Perhaps you can report back here if you have success? |

Will armory be usable in the future with "payment protocol"?
Goatpig doesn't seem to be keen on Armory talking to various servers (he's removed all the "phone home" code that existed in previous versions), so I would doubt this. See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2686994.msg27449925#msg27449925I started looking into electrum, but noticed today the warning on the top of page to "SHUT DOWN ELECTRUM IMMEDIATELY" Yes, there was a security issue and it was patched. I certainly don't recommend Electrum for savings, only for spending. Treat it like putting cash in your wallet when heading out to the grocery store. (Yes, this means paying an extra transaction fee for some number of future transactions. Actually, if you want to use segwit with Electrum, you will have to first fund a normal address, then use Electrum itself to transfer to its bech32 segwit addresses. If you do this intelligently, you can still save on those future segwit transactions, but it is certainly a lot of hoop jumping. I suspect Armory will eventually support bech32 and there will be one less hoop.) User achow101 ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=290195) has created a small program for interacting with the payment protocol and providing the user with the information required to do a typical Bitcoin transaction. I have not yet used this solution myself, perhaps he will respond here (if he reads this thread) and provide further information. Here is the reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/7n6oaa/annoyed_by_bitpays_exclusive_use_of_the_payment/Edit: Please read this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/7ntfv6/psa_how_to_get_address_from_bitpay_uri_now/ |

I would try deleting the Armory/databases folder and restart from scratch.

But I already moved the private key to Blockchain.info. But I didnt get my money because it started with a 3. Would I still be able to get it on Armory also? Even though the private key was moved to Blockchain?
You should learn how Bitcoin works before doing any of these things... As long as you didn't transfer bitcoins via the block chain, they are still associated with the same private keys, no matter how many different wallets you import them into. |

Post dbLog.txt
Nvm, the dbLog looks fine. What's your issue exactly? From the looks of your screenshot, you just need to let Core fully sync first before starting Armory and you should be fine. Start Core manually, let it sync, they start Armory.
Delete this folder and start from scratch:
C:\Users\chowa\AppData\Roaming\Armory\databases
Okay, I deleted it. Now, I let Bitcoin Core sync, THEN I open Armory correct? Yes. |

https://btcarmory.com/docs/pathingIf that isn't plain enough English for you, try the following. 1. Right click the Armory shortcut. 2. Choose properties. 3. Click your cursor in the "target" field after Armory. 4. With a space after ArmoryQT.exe, enter the following: --satoshi-datadir=D:/Bitcoin "D:/Bitcoin" in the above is just my example, please enter the actual path to Core's folder on your external SSD. Also, I would update to the latest release candidate stickied in this sub-forum as it contains many fixes. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2660500.0

I am having difficulty running Armory against the BCH node. I think the node stopped syncing from the fork date. Armory says it is connected but it does not show a BCH balance.
Would it perhaps be easier for me to attempt to export my private keys to a different wallet that has built in support for BCH?
Armory works just fine with a BCH node. Are you saying your BCH node has stopped syncing? If so, you need to get that working before worrying about Armory. |

Why don't you just send the funds from the old wallet to the new wallet like you would send a normal transaction?
|
|
|
|
Send the Bcash coins first. Cheaper fees, and they're the ones you want to move anyway.
I strongly disagree. Get the bitcoins disassociated and secure before messing around with the bcash (or any other altjunkairdropcoins). |
|
|
|
|
Have you checked the address on a block explorer website to verify that the coins have been sent?
If you need quick access, you can always start Armory in offline mode and extract the private key of the address you send the bitcoins to, then import it into another wallet.

Doesn't make alot of sense to use the "protocol" at this point to ease pressure on the network, I see it as only adding to the congestion if you have to move funds before being able to spend. To me that is double downing on the backlog unless they are hoping peoples will export wallets. I did go ahead and and generate a couple addresses in core, but notice there is no option, that i can see to create segwit? Kind of self defeating when I was wanting to start using segwit, and wasn't that the point of the hardfork that spawned bch?
If you want to use a wallet that is compatible with both the payment protocol and segwit, electrum is your best option. |

There is a sticky in this sub-forum regarding splitting your BCH.
Armory does not yet support signing for BTG, but apparently it is on goatpig's agenda.
