Hi,
I have a quite similar issue. I am by this point a fairly experienced BitcoinCore and Armory user (since 2014 or 2015). So I have tried my usual tricks
and tilts on the Armory pinball machine, but nothing seems to work now.
I have been running Ubuntu 20.4, Armory 0.96.5, and BitcoinCore 0.21.1, on a one year old System76 laptop with 64GB ram and an
Intel® Core™ i7-10870H CPU @ 2.20GHz × 16. Plus Verizon Fios for Internet. I don't think my system is underpowered to run a BitcoinCore/
Armory combination.
My specific problem is, BitcoinCore and Armory repeatedly hang/freezes after running for 2-6 hours. It hangs on either "Organizing Blockchain".
Or if that process completes, it hangs on "Scanning Tx".
I have run it (the boot up) maybe 20x plus over the past 3 weeks, to no avail. One time, when I wasn't there/didn't see it, it showed me my Armory wallet balances,
but when I got there, the whole computer was frozen, so I couldn't use Armory or anything, and had to reboot. A couple of other times, it completed the "Scanning
Tx" part (at 100%), but then froze my whole computer, and did NOT show me my wallet balances. But that is as far as I have got, after 3 weeks.
I have tried the usual tilts, which have worked before. Like:
- rebuild and rescan databases
- letting, and not letting, Armory run bitcoind in the background
- running bitcoind and bitcoin-qt first, and then manually launching Armory
Also, when I run bitcoind or bitoin-qt manually, BitcoinCore 0.21.1 runs normally and updates the bitcoin blockchain apparently up to
current state.
So the problem appears to be the handshaking of Armory 0.96.5. with BitcoinCore.
I realized tonight that BitcoinCore has been upgraded to 0.22.0. I am currently running an update of blockchain with that. Maybe that will solve the problem,
But I dunno if that will work.
Any thoughts/ideas on what I can do to fix this? Any feedback most appreciated.
Thanks in advance, cobbler7.
