stuck or good?

[goatpig]

To make sure I understand.. Since I can't run bitcoind as a background process started from Armory, in order to keep an Armory wallet on my computer, I have to keep Bitcoin Core and Armory running side-by-side constantly..?

For Armory to go online, it needs a local instance of Core. If auto bitcoind is failing, you will have to Start BitcoinQt manually prior to starting Armory every time. It is critical that BitcoinQt is fully sync'd before you start Armory, so if you have not run Core in a few days, let it catch up before you start Armory.

Latest thing I'm having now: I start Armory and it seems suddenly stuck at organizing blockchain ?!

Log files please

any suggestions on trouble-shooting bitcoind crashing when started from Armory?

Probably something to do with your /blocks or binary path (the ones in File -> Settings). It is either getting mangled or it's invalid (non ASCII chars?). Auto bitcoind is a feature for default setups, i.e. you didn't customize your system and installation at all. If you intent to customize (like you did), I strongly suggest against using auto bitcoind.

its a continues bitcoinqt problem....everytime it seem to hang it mostly missed a bitcoinqt connection....
But it seems also very very slow in processing....
What hardware is suggested to make armory work the way it's intended and workable?

btw, lastest part of log:

This takes ages, not hours   Repairing database gave me 'nothing to repair'

At this point you are better off doing a Rebuild and Rescan.

I'm aware of all these issues and they all been thoroughly fixed in 0.94

[henknies1]

Oke! Is there a build version available to download for win7 somewhere?

[goatpig]

Sorry, you have to build from source right now.

[henknies1]

Oke thx.
One last 'stupid' question.

Someone send me bitcoins to an address that I got from armory. When verifying online it shows that it is received.

But, bitcoinqt (seems not having any trouble) and armory didnt show this in my wallet?  Whats causing this or am I missing a piece of the puzzle? Or is it because it's corrupted in some way?

Your coins are here, rest assured. The particular issue your log file is exposing is that Armory believes the blockchain has stopped around block 270XXX, which is like 2 years ago or something. So obviously, it never got to see the blocks from 2015, thus any transaction from that period.

Thank you ! But I was thinking that bitcoinqt should at least show it, but it's probably the same issue.

Rebuild and rescan is running again....

Core does not know of the public keys at all. Only Armory is aware of those. The same works vice versa. If you sent those coins to an address generated through BitcoinQt, Armory would not be aware of it. Armory and Core wallets are completely separate entities.

Is there an expectation when 0.94 is officially being released?
