Node is offline, cannot broadcast

[sharonG]

Hey, I have been struggling to get Armory (0.96.4) online for about a week after I got it online once, and I couldn't even get the program to start up. I finally cleared the files in C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/Armory and got it to start up and load the  blockchain. However, it says in the bottom right corner "Node offline (550727 blocks)." I thought nothing of it, as Armory said I could send transactions and that I was "online". However, when I sent a transaction the program gave me the error "node is offline, cannot broadcast".


I have no clue why this occured. I am using Bitcoin Core 0.17.


Here is what I believe to be the important part of my armorylog.txt file:

Start BitcoinQt manually.

I started BitcoinQt manually, and it had no effect. I attempted to send another transaction and it had the same failure.

Am I to restart the Armory client as well?

[sharonG]

Hey, after restarting I noticed that I keep getting an error message as Armory begins to build the database that says, "connection to bitcoin core client lost". I believe this may be related, as the "offline" text in the bottom right corner changes to "node offline (0 blocks).

If you need the full armory log, please ask.

Hey, I managed to get the payment through by restarting my computer and factory resetting Armory. Thank you for your help.
