Armory 0.94.1 is out

[Rampion]

Installed 0.94.1 with an alternative folder for the db (--dbdir) and all is well.  If i drop the --dbdir argument it will re-build the new ~120MB db in the default folder and delete de old ~70GB one - correct?

It won't delete the old one; you will have to find it and delete it manually.

So even if I don't use --dbdir to choose an alternate db folder Armory 0.94.1 will not use the old directory, e.g.: "databases"?

One question about key-stretching: which algorithm are you using? ROMix? Scrypt?

It will use the default folder lacking any specific CLI arg, i.e ~/.armory/databases

ROMix I believe.

OK, so the recommended procedure when upgrading to 0.94.1 is to manually delete the old databases, right? Otherwise we would have in the same folder the ~70GB db together with the ~120MB one....

ROMix I believe.

May I ask who is in charge of mantaining that part of the code?

Yes.

Goatpig is the only one in charge of maintaining anything in armory as he is the only full time developer of it.

Ok, hope it's going OK. Looking forward to new version. Thanks

Your wallets helped me identify and fix 2 GUI bugs, but nothing in there indicates the balances are off.

Most of the wallets funds were moved in some 15 transactions, all spending coins to a same address. Half of them had change, and the pattern does not suggest someone stealing coins or trying to sweep the wallet, rather deliberate, incremental spending. I invite you to look into that, notably that one recipient address.

[bitcoinron]

Ok, thanks. I did not spend these. The only way is a bug or someone stealing them with a trojan. I didn't spend, the balances are very weird to leave money like that. Thanks

[bitcoinron]

Can you confirm someone has stolen all my coins?

If this is true. This is something connecting to bitcoind while armory is loaded with the RPC configuration in the config file, scanning wallets and transferring out.

[bitcoinron]

Is there anyway to confirm this was stolen? Bitcoin is really not useful. People stealing $2000 just like that? I'm so'posed to run a business like this?

[goatpig]

There is a set of transactions moving coins from your wallets but again the pattern does not reflect theft, rather deliberate spending. It would make little sense for a thief to steal your coins the way this was done. Without further investigations, I cannot qualify this spending pattern as theft.

To confirm or infirm this case, you would need to present more information and/or enlist the community into helping with the investigation. You would would have to at least divulge the addresses involved, your spending habits, and whether you know the recipient addresses.

I cannot assert if this is theft with what information I have, and so far I remain skeptical.

[bitcoinron]

It is theft. I don't spend any coins.. I was about to transfer out but I wasn't able to.

I collect small payments into 2 wallets from my business. I never spend and then I was going to exchange it..

Unless this has somehow "spent" into an address which I can still access? This doesn't make any sense to me. What do you need?

Armory was running in the background

I am scanning for malware now, the only thing i can think of is it want bitcoin client and got the wallet address and balances and RPC a transfer.

I agree it doest look like it's theft, but I didn't use them.. so unless it's a bug.. it's definitly thefy

[bitcoinron]

Whatever it was appeared to push all my coins to this wallet:

I am hoping it's a bug.. I just spent money and time to lose money.. $2000 is alot of money for me.

[bitpop]

It could be someone physically close to you and he did a hasty job of corrupting your wallets

[bitcoinron]

Nope, no one has access to my machines or my office

[bitcoinron]

I'm telling you, if these coins are coin, it's a trojan most likely used RPC while armory was open.

Unless this is another type of attack. Who knows why it was done like this.

I'm still hoping for a bug

Increase your keypool and start private keys importing into bitcoin

[bitcoinron]

I noticed bitcoin-cli can connect while armory is open.. not sure if it is possible to issue commands such as get wallet balance and transfer..

Otherwise, if this is not a bug that has made a mistake in transaction account, I have no idea

[bitcoinron]

Try to export private key in new wallet and check using bitcoin?

[bitcoinron]

I have 2 wallets I need to try this on..

Is there instructions for exporting and importing into a wallet.dat?

I need to do it twice?

You need to do it for every armory address
