Armory hangs on "Organizing Blockchain" (>12h). Grateful for any help.

[Cobbler7]

Thank s much goatpig and HCP for your continued help.

I have updated my pastebin https://github.com/truebar/pastebin
with 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,

Thanks goatpig and HCP -- this updated directory below should have two netstat files, debug.log, and bitcoind last
run terminal log. Any ideas much appreciated.

Can you please make it all text files. ODT I can't read in browser =/. I don't really want to have to download users' log files locally.

[Cobbler7]

I uploaded txt files of the odt ones to the pastebin, did you get/see them?

Thanks, cobbler7

From the the terminal, run ArmoryDB. Post the output from the terminal. You don't need bitcoind running for that.

Hi goatpig,

Please see terminal output after running ArmoryDB at terminal.  File is ArmoryBD_log.txt

https://github.com/truebar/pastebin

The only thing I see in this I see of possible interest is:

-INFO  - 00:06:28: (BDM_Server.h:263) Listening on port 9001

Any ideas? Thanks much.

It looks like it updated the chain but has had time to do much more. How long did you let it run?

[Cobbler7]

Hi goatpig,

I think I let it run about 18 hours.

It appeared to have concluded a process, and I created another log file - ArmoryDB_log2.txt in my updated pastebin.

https://github.com/truebar/pastebin

The last line in the terminal was:

-INFO  - 01:10:12: (BDM_supportClasses.cpp:1891) Enabling zero-conf tracking

Is this Ok, along with the early log line:

-INFO  - 00:06:28: (BDM_Server.h:263) Listening on port 9001

Also, I noticed that running ArmoryDB on the terminal did not hang in the usual 2-4 hours as it does with Armory GUI running and bitcoind
running in the background. It just kept running on without stopping.

Lastly, when I killed the terminal running ArmoryDB, it looked done, but there was still some kind of process running in it, though nothing new
came on screen.

Also updated in my pastebin is a new file armory_log3.txt.

On December 17th, I ran first BitcoinCore Qt, and let up update the blockchain. Then I launched Armory. Armory still froze, but it got farther
than usual. The Scanning Transactions progress bar went all the way to 100%, and the timer said only 1 second left. But at that point, Armory froze.

Any ideas from this as to get Armory back up and running fully together with bitcoind? It has been a pretty frustrating process so far.

Thanks much,

It looks like the DB is sane, you should start ArmoryQt now while ArmoryDB is running.

Thank - I will try it!
