Thank s much goatpig and HCP for your continued help.
I have updated my pastebin
https://github.com/truebar/pastebinwith the following 4 files:
-netstat run 1: scanning port 9001 with BOTH Armory and bitcoind running
-netstat run 2: scanning port 9001 with NEITHER Armory NOR bitcoind running
- armory debug.log
- screenshot of latest bitcoind terminal run
Re netstat, I still can't tell from these two files if anything is there that shouldn't be, or otherwise
is interfering with either Armory or Bitcoin.
Re armory debug.log, it is much like terminal output of bitcoind. Nothing jumps out to me as a
problem.
Re bitcoind run screenshot, this appears to me to indicate that the local bitcoin blockchain copy
is complete, or near complete, and not 100k blocks short of being complete. Any further ideas as
to what is going wrong in making Armory hang on "Organizing Blockchain" or "Scanning Tx"?
One further background fact, in case it matters. In doing re-installs of Armory and BitcoinCore,
I have been making use of a backup copy of the bitcoin blockchain that I keep on a external USB
hard drive. (This is specifically the contents of the .bitcoin directory.) For example, I get a new
computer, install BitcoinCore on it, but don't yet run it. Instead, I copy the contents of my
back up .bitcoin directory from the USB external drive to the .bitcoin directory on my new PC.
Only then do i run BitcoinCore Qt. Does/might this matter?
Thanks much,
