Moin moin,

Cryptocon ist eine tolle Sache! Do abend geht es mit Film und Gesprächsrunde los, wir verpassen also beim Stammtisch keine wichtigen Vorträge ;-)
Das Sublab selbst ist vermutlich voll, laut und/oder in Vorbereitung. Wir könnten uns direkt davor im Kaiserbad[1] treffen, ansonsten gibt es im Umkreis noch mehr Alternativen.
Wir müssen uns nur bald auskäsen, um die Reservierung im Puschkin abzusagen.

Im Übrigen habe ich per PGP verifiziert, dass vv01f auch vv01f_2nd ist. Dazu brauchte es gar keinen seitenlangen Blogpost ;-)

Bis Donnerstag in einer Woche,

Ente

Und weiter gehts, der nächste Treff ist diesen Do, 19:00 im Café Puschkin.

Bis dahin!

Ente

After another 2 years?
You are not supposed to necro 2 year old threads, even if it's your own one lol!

Nope, for many reasons: I don't dox people, he is easily contacted everywhere, I don't know his adress, and he might not have a legal adress at all.

Ente

Yes, but we all are here because we insist on the very best bitcoin wallet. Armory. :-)
Trezor with a decentralized node is great and important too. And not everyone believes they need the whole Armory featureset.

Still, I'll be waiting for the Armory Trezor integration.

Ente

Öhm, schreibe ihn/die doch einfach an und frag sie direkt?

Ente

That's good news, thanks!
Here's the comment thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4aol6e/i_finally_moved_my_bitcoin_off_coinbase_to_trezor/d12b50d

Decentralize all the things!

I got the same problem again, bitcoind online, updated to 0.12 and at proper block height.
Armory stayed at some lower blockcount.
Starting via shell, Armory told me it had found "447 blockfiles" from bitcoind.

Turned out that from that block on, bitcoind set the blockfiles to non-readable for group+others. WTF.
I start bitcoind via init, so it runs as root (no wallet, no gui etc). Armory is run by user. So it had to fail..
Maybe this helps someone at some point.

Thank you, guys, for putting me on the right track here!

I'll try to find out why bitcoind changed its behavior..

Der nächste Stammtisch, März 2016, wurde auf den 10.03. gelegt.Also diese Woche.
Am regulären Termin ist das Puschkin schon besetzt, irgendwie Leute die lesen, oder so, Buchmesse Leipzig.

Also bis Donnerstag, wie gewohnt 19:00 im Café Puschkin!

Ente

Thanks for asking the pros! :-)
I was confused, as to why the removed 0.94 code would be off limits to us. 0.93 and 0.94 were both published under AGPL, the only difference is how long they have been online on a particulary website, github. Which carries no weight here.
Of course we can't force ATI to publish the code again, they can do with their github account as they please.
But if only one copy was saved by anyone out there, he may redistribute and republish under the AGPL again.

It's up to Goatpig to decide if this is a smart move, as ATI might not like that move for whatever reason. But they can't do anything against it except ask us friendly to delete the code.

Ente

I was shuffling folders and databases in the last days (moving to different drive), and now it automagically works just fine.
Thanks, you two!

Ente

Is there a better, new thread now for regular problems with the current 0.93 version?

Anyway, here goes:
my bitcoind is fully synced, to 398597. Armory connects to bitcoind, says "online" and "connected", but stays at block 392645.
Restarting Armory didn't help, version 0.93.3.
A database-rescan took a while, and changed nothing neither.
Hints?

Ente

..und wieder ist es soweit, diesen Donnerstag, 19:00 wie immer im Café Puschkin.

Bis dahin!

Ente

Huh? Weird!
Talk to Theymos about it. It looks like there is no mod at all, in this sub?

Ente

I am sure this will be taken care of once Goatpig has a fresh release for us :-)

Ente

Funny, I had the same brief thought. Let's just buy what we want. Can't be that expensive, in its current situation? :-)

No, I think that money would be wasted. If we need to spend money, let's pay dev(s) to actually bring Armory forward, instead of paying entities which brought this situation upon us.
Also, there's absolutely no hurry. We have 0.93 as a base to use now and to continue developing, and we have Goatpig. And a whole forum full of fans! That's all we need for this party! :-)

Ente

I agree to drop the Armory name. This might keep you from bigger problems in the future, and might even give you a slighty better position should all of the old Armory folks come to a round table at a later point. This is a sad moment, with the Armory company structure and dev team being in pieces, so why not take the opportunity to get rid of as much potential ballast as possible.

Another thought: if (all!) the current copyright holders of the code agree, it should be possible to relicense the entire 0.93 code to MIT. Now I don't know the details, but maybe this isn't as impossible as it seems? Maybe they have an (bigger) interest to keep the project and brand alive than to watch the code become obsolete with time..

I read up about GPL vs MIT. Before, I didn't know the details. Goatpig, I applaud you for your strong stance on this topic. "Just" GPL would surely be easier now, but I see your point in being "radically open source" here.
It's an interesting (off topic) discussion point, I personally am unsure what the right way is, generally, on different open source licenses.

Ente

This isn't the news I hoped for, but at least the situation is clear now.
Alan, you are an inspiration, even for non-developing folks. One of the few good guys I trust. Thank you for all you did, and please stick around Bitcoin for your next endeavour! :-)
Goatpig, I am super happy to have you here, the lone hippie of the bunch. Please don't rush things, but have enough pleasant non-computer time as well. Try to delegate things, ask us, the community, for what we might help you with.

I like the idea of a crowdfunded interactive featurewishlist. Nothing wrong with starting that earlier than later, it's been some time that you actually received financial compensation, eh?

One detail question: as I understand it, there was a 0.94 branch on github, which was removed again. Isn't all the code which was published automatically under GPL as well? What's the difference between .93 and .94?

Oh well, Rough times, but Armory simply is without alternatives. Let's do this!


Ente

Wow, a lot of stuff to wrap our minds around, nice! :-)

We'll have to figure out how to continue with Roger and Rassah.

One thought right away: I'd suggest to use a different name than "pyramid". Like, any other name would be better than that. It took me a moment to realize this indeed has nothing to do with "all donations go to the pot, and the top X charities receive part Y of it" ;-)

Great to see so much is in the works there, I am sure we will integrate parts of BTC100 in there, one way or another!

Ente

Congratulations, sounds great! :-)
What will you need from the community, for help?
Any ideas if/how BTC100 would fit there, or be continued, or be swallowed?

Ente

Moin moin,

es gab Nachfragen wie der Stand bei unseren Stammtischtreffen sei.
Die Meetup-Gruppe wurde von Carsten gegründet, wird aber aktuell mangels Kapazitäten nicht aktualisiert.

Der Stammtisch findet wie gehabt jeden dritten Do im Monat im Café Puschkin statt.
Es ist immer jemand da. In der Regel sind wir zwischen vier und zwölf Leute, letzte Woche waren wir z.B. zu fünft.
Meistens löst es sich so um 23:00 Uhr rum auf, es lohnt sich also immer auch etwas später noch dazuzustoßen.

Programm? Vermutlich so wie überall: Lecker Bier und Burger, entspannte Atmosphäre auch mit blockchain-fernen Themen, Einsteiger, die uns mit hundert Fragen löchern. Manchmal auch mit ausgewogenerer Frauenquote ;-)

Es gibt noch eine Leipziger-Bitcoin Mailingliste und schöne Domains, da läuft aktuell aber wenig drüber. Wer sich dem annehmen möchte, bitte melden :-)

Also denn, bis zum 18.02.!

Ente
