Some perspective... The price has doubled in the last month. 2 more months at this growth rate and we'll hit $30k easily.  

Ok, so I've been trawling through the code all night. I understand what the dynamicImport.py file is doing, and I also understand what the plugin file itself is doing.

Technically, the module should be zipped, then combined into another zip file along with a signature.txt file and properties.txt file, and placed inside the modules folder inside the armory source dir. The dynamicImport file you linked then removes the need for that file structure, and allows the installation of the plugin without needing to be zipped up etc.
It still needs the singature check though, which i understand I have to take out.

So regarding the dynamicImport.py file, I'm not sure how much of it I have to remove. If I remove the entire section relating to zipped modules and signature checks, armoryqt won't run:
(ERROR) Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ArmoryQt.py", line 71, in <module>
ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

If I just remove the sections pertaining to checking the signatures, armoryqt will start, but the plugin doesn't load.
If I load the dynamicImport.py code as-is from the git repo without making any changes, armory starts fine, but it also doesn't show any plugin, nor any plugin errors. But according to the code, it should show an error along the lines of "plugin failed to load" or something similar if the plugin is there, but not signed.

So rather than something being wrong with how I'm editing the code to remove the signature check, I think it might be something more fundamental which I'm not getting right.

Do I save the dynamicImport.py file in the source directory? (C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory)
I have the plugin file saved in C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\modules. Is this correct? Or should it be in C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Armory\modules ?

Sorry for the loads of questions. I am learning a lot, but still obviously haven't quite figured things out yet.

Thank you good sir :-)

Ok thanks, I'll try to learn how to do that then. I've just bought a couple of books on python and git aimed at beginners, so hopefully that'll give me a bit of a leg-up to get this sorted.

What should I be looking for in the source to remove that signature check? Any particular file or code I need to change?

Going to follow this guide to recompile on windows and hopefully add the plugin at the same time. Wish me luck!

*Edit: Aborting that idea. Some of the software is either outdated/unavailable or won't install :-(
Plus there's no info on actually compiling the software (just states what software is needed)

I still can't understand why the module isn't being loaded when I start armory.qt. I'm pretty sure I've saved it as the correct file type and in the correct location etc. :-/

I'd rather learn myself. I'm not incompetent, but you're speaking at a level above my knowledge, and you don't seem willing to dumb it down to a comprehensible level for me. As I keep mentioning, I am NOT a coder. I can follow simple step by step instructions though, and I've already offered to give you personally a btc donation for your help with this particular issue.

I'm sorry. I have no idea what this means or how to do it. Like I said, I'm not a coder, and have no experience with this kind of thing. I really just need a how-to guide, to talk me through the process.

Thanks Goatpig. I'm still having issues getting it to work.

I've coppied the PWfinder code from the GitHub link you gave me and saved it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\modules as PassPhraseFinderPlugin.py file using Note++.

I restart Armory, and I can't find the plug-in. I'm trying to brute force my mainet wallet containing my BTC as it's not accepting the passphrase I had saved. As I mentioned, I'm not a coder, but I can follow instructions if someone is able to guide me through the process. I couldn't find anything in the plugin code about a sig/key, so I've no idea what code to modify if that's whats causing the plugin to not show up in the GUI.

 

Hi All,

I need to install one of the Armory plugins from Github, but I'm not sure exactly of how to do it. I've copied the python script from GitHub and saved it as a *.py file using Note++

Where do I install that plugin file and how to I execute it within Armory?

 Thanks :-)

Balance sync issue is sorted finally. I downloaded (for the the 4th time) the entire blockchain again, waited for it to sync up properly, then restarted armory.qt with rebuild and rescan databases. All synced up now and showing the correct address.

I'm still having the passphrase issue though. Can someone give me a quick 'how-to' on the bruteforce passphrase finder? Cheers :-)

That makes sense. I've already started it, so I may as well let it finish now.

Seems the issue is here, but I'm not sure how to fix it 

Thanks!!
I'm not yet familiar/competent with Github and doing things via console (!'m trying to learn though) Would you mind giving me a quick walk-through on how to use this?

Achow101 is onto something. Bitcoin core is fully synced up to the most current block, but Armory is only syncing up to block #351223.
Anything I can do to sort this? I can't see anything obvious in the log.

I'm going to -reindex Bitcoin-qt and then restart Armory to see if anything changes.

You might be onto something there. At the time I posted this, Armory was showing "Connected (351223 blocks)"
I'm looking into Bitcoin Core now to see how many blocks it loads.


It is a restored wallet because I has some issues with getting the previous version of Armory to sync at all. However, I haven't actually unlocked the wallet since creating it.
Like an idiot, I sent my BTC to the generated Armory wallet before I understood how Armory works and before I got it installed and online. So now it appears not to have syned up to the latest block, and my passphrase isn't working for my backed up wallet.

Goatpig mentioned there was a tool for brute forcing the passphrase? Is anyone able to talk me through how to use that? I have a 6-word passphrase saved already (copy/paste from the initial wallet setup) so I could use that as a starting point for brute forcing it.

Hello all,
I'm hoping someone can help me out.

I sent 1BTC into my Armory wallet at block #467237.
Blockchain.info is showing the correct wallet balance of 1BTC https://blockchain.info/address/14dw7G4bW8TRb1UTTAHdFGNRfH4Lxb47h8

However, my Armory client isn't showing any balance at all. I have tried to rescan and rebuild databases etc a bunch of times, but it won't show up.



Armory Log is here: https://pastebin.com/z62V49XR

An additional issue I'm having is that the passphrase isn't working correctly. At the time I created the wallet, I copy/paste the 6 word passphrase, all in lower case, into my password manager and saved it. However, Armory isn't recognizing that passphrase, and has locked me out of the wallet.
Is there a way to brute force it based on the 6-word passphrase I have saved?

 Thanks so much for any assistance. I'll donate some satoshis to anyone who can help me get this sorted.

 Cheers,

It hung at 90% for about 45minutes, so I've restarted armory again. 

Also Particl (Formerly Shadowcash) once it hits exchanges. It has a marketplace built into the wallet too.

Thanks for the quick follow-up :-)

I have my bitcoin blockchain data on an external HDD (bitcoin core is synced to it) and I've also directed Armory to that folder on my HDD for the data directory.

I've done another completely fresh install, and set priority in the task manager to realtime for Armoryqt, Armorydb and bitcoinind, and so far it's "Building Database" at 90% with 5 mins to go.

If this doesn't work, I'll move the blockchain data over to the standard directory on my C:/, resync bitcoin core to the default location and then try a fresh install of Armory 0.96.0.2

I've just uninstalled v0.96.0.0 and installed v0.96.0.2 and restarting now. It hasn't started armorydb.exe though.

If I'm not able to get this working, as I able to import my wallet into another client, to at least access my BTC?

Hi all, I'm having issues getting a new install of Armory to sync without errors, and I'm hoping someone can help me.
I'm new to this wallet, and I'm not particularly PC savy. However, I have done a few searches and tried a few things so far.

As a background, I had to download the bitcoin core (current version) twice due to some technical issues (the HDD I was downloading to was accidently unplugged diring the first download, and wouldn't resycn after that, so I deleted it and redownloaded again successfully.

However, the Armorydb log is showing some errors when I try to start Armory and build database.


This is the db log: https://pastebin.com/FXHGJHaT

and another failed dblog: https://pastebin.com/SvitRgsH

I have tried to delete databases and restart armorydb.exe with --ram-usage=1, but when I do this, I get the below message, then nothing else happens:
C:\Users\XXXXXX\AppData\Roaming/Bitcoin/blocks is not a valid path

I've also restarted bitcoin core with -rescan command too. Still hasn't made any difference.

I normally wouldn't be too concerned, but like an impatient idiot, I sent BTC to my armory wallet before I actually got the bitcoin blockchain downloaded, and I don't think I'm able to recover my coins without getting Armory working properly?
