POLLERR error in readAndWrite

[boskowski]

Armory 0.96.3 build 2b65ac0648 with bitcoind v0.15.1 running on Windows 10 spawns ArmoryDB and starts scanning the transaction history. At 99% ArmoryDB exits and this messages are logged to armorycpplog.txt

-ERROR - 20:56:51.015: (..\SocketObject.cpp:447) POLLERR error in readAndWrite
-ERROR - 20:56:51.015: (..\StringSockets.cpp:359) POLLERR error in readAndWrite

The UI says "Scanning Transaction History 99% 20 seconds" indefinitely ("Connected (0 blocks)" in the lower right corner). If I start Armory with no wallet, everything runs fine. But as soon as I restore my wallet I get this behavior. I've tried this several times in many variations (loading the wallet before and after Armory is online and connected). The result is always the same. If I restart Armory the whole process repeats.

I've tried to use Armory 0.96.3 on Ubuntu 16.04 but there it won't even starts (I get Illegal instruction (core dumped) short after launch).

I just need to transfer my balance (which is on a P2SH-P2PK address) and have already spent three days trying. Is there a way to import the address/private key on the Bitcoin Core client to accomplish this (or get Armory to create a transaction)? I'm so frustrated. Please help me!

Thank you for your help!

[goatpig]

I need to see the full dbLog.txt. Use pastebin.

[boskowski]

This https://pastebin.com/k7RNsahV is the complete log file created when starting with an empty datadir at an earlier time. Same problem happened after I restored the wallet. ArmoryDB hangs after writing the last log line.

[boskowski]

I resolved by reverting to 0.96.2.

[Searinox]

This seems oddly familiar. By chance did you generate any new addresses from the wallet? And if so, how many?

[boskowski]

In fact, I did, right after restoring the wallet I generated 100 P2SH-P2PK addresses to check their balance manually. The addresses I was looking for (previously the first ones in the list) didn't even show up.

[Searinox]

Does it work if you don't do that? Long story short I'm having your exact issue, except my armorydb.exe silently exits instead of hanging. And it does it only if I generate extra addresses.

[boskowski]

Yes! After switching back to the older build I recreated the wallet without generating the addresses and armorydb worked fine. Not a regression issue, then?

[Searinox]

Only goatpig could know.
