Armory 0.93.3 with BIP62 compliance

Armory 0.93.3 with BIP62 Released

Download links below, but as always, please use the secure downloader within Armory under "Help"-->"Update Software" or on the Announcements tab on the main screen.


Implemented low S-value signatures to work with Core 0.11+:
Armory now implements all components of BIP62 compliance in its signing code. Also includes a correction path to fix non-compliant signatures when broadcasting transactions signed by older versions of Armory. Thus, offline systems do not need to be updated, as long as the online system is.

Critical Bug Fix: "bitcoin:" URI handling of Multisig/P2SH addresses:
The code that handles clicking on a "bitcoin:" link outside Armory was improperly handling Multisig/P2SH addresses, and would prefill a valid but incorrect address.

Transaction confirmation fix:
The number of confirmations was not being calculated properly for fee estimation in some contexts.

No more support for Mac/OSX:
Due to the high resource consumption of maintaining the Mac builds and lack of continued support from the Qt team for Qt4/PyQt4, we have no choice but to pull OSX support until we can upgrade Armory to Python3 and Qt5.
(OSX support re-added)

hope you're okay

That's pity. This begs the question:

Can I copy my existing 56 GB data for Bitcoin Core and 49 GB data for Armory from my Mac to Linux and continue using it seamlessly? Downloading the whole thing again just because I moved to Linux would be very painful for me.

You should be able to.

I am trying to do just that.  Copied Bitcoin Core's stuff onto a virtual Linux machine on my Mac, and started bitcoin-qt on the virtual machine yesterday evening.  It does not redownload the blockchain, but it does reverify it.  Has been running for 11 hours so far, judging from the rate it crunches blocks according to the log file, it will finish within 12-24 hours

I am not going to move Armory's stuff over to the VM, instead I plan on letting it rescan the blockchain.  It would probably to that anyway, and it did not use to be too slow.  I will report back tomorrow.

It is disappointing that Mac support has been dropped, but considering how badly Qt is supported on Mac, it is not surprising.  Pulling 0.94 is far worse, since that was going to only store one copy of the blockchain (Bitcoin Core's).  Having two blockchain on my laptop is no longer viable, within a few month I need to find an alternative.  Getting rid of one of them would have postponed that for a year or so.

Edit: spelling.

Thank you! A great update to one of my favorite clients And this:

Great! No need to remake my offline environment

Yes, that is really a good thing!

Cool. I could download it from this post, but when offered it in armory and trying to download it via there, it's just giving me the error

Both worked for me, maybe the server was down temporarily

No more support for Mac/OSX:
Due to the high resource consumption of maintaining the Mac builds and lack of continued support from the Qt team for Qt4/PyQt4, we have no choice but to pull OSX support until we can upgrade Armory to Python3 and Qt5.

Are there any changes that would prevent me from compiling it myself for Mac/OSX?

Edit: Got it working and pull requested fixes for Qt. PM me if you want the binary I compiled.

Any chance you can write out the steps I can use to compile it myself for OS X? Thanks.

Just follow the instructions here with pull request #315.

Thanks, I'll try. A few questions:

• If it's so easy to make the OS X build, why didn't they just do it?
• Have you tested your OS X compiled Armory 0.93.3 with Bitcoin Core 0.11.1? Is everything working? Are transactions getting broadcast, and so on?
• Let's say I upgrade to Bitcoin Core 0.11.1 and run it, and then run the older Armory 0.93.2. Will anything break? Or will Armory tell me something is wrong right away? Or will Armory just fail to broadcast transactions? What exactly could go wrong?

From the OP, I can just guess that they cannot provide Armory on OSX with the same quality standards that they provide on Windows and Linux.

As for 0.93.2 + Core 0.11.1, I don't see why would there be any issue.

As for 0.93.2 + Core 0.11.1, I don't see why would there be any issue.

The issue is that 0.93.2 and older does not enforce using low s signatures. They sometimes produce high s sigs, which are no longer relayed by core 0.11.1. The fix fixes that issue so that armory only produced low s sigs.

Not sure why they didn't just do it, best guess is they were too busy or didn't have a mac available, it took me a few hours to get working but most of that was just getting familiar with the build system, the changes they made didn't really touch the build system as far as I could tell but they hadn't updated Qt in a while so some links/paths were broken.
Seems to work fine with Bitcoin Core 0.11.1.
Armory 0.93.2 fails to broadcast transactions with Bitcoin Core 0.11.1.
