Armory 0.94.1 is out

[Carlton Banks]

Ok, so some command line essentials: if you're doing your git clone command afresh, the make clean command isn't needed. make clean is used to purge the old build prior to compiling a new one, so you don't need it for this situation. I think you may have run make, then make clean afterwards. Also, forget about make install for now, it won't solve this problem.

Try this to correct what's happened:

Code:

cd ~
sudo rm -dRf BitcoinArmory
git clone git://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory
git checkout master
make

[cypherdoc]

He does. I suspect there's some minor error in the version string you're supplying, but that's only a guess. I don't make use of that particular git command, so can't help you specifically with it from off the top of my head unfortunately.

ok, got it.

now how do i delete Armory's copy of the blockchain?

[achow101]

See above! I strongly suspect that's your issue (git checkout master can only have performed that exact command; etotheipi's master branch is still on 93.3, whereas the goatpig master branch is at 94.1)

does goatpig have 0.94.1 git tagged?:

Code:

Ubuntu:~/BitcoinArmory$ git tag -v v0.94.1
error: 811798a9282d216e0a450fe342d8a4671fee01d3: cannot verify a non-tag object of type commit.
error: could not verify the tag 'v0.94.1'

It isn't signed.

Go to the armory data directory and delete everything in the "databases" folder.

[Carlton Banks]

You can also delete the /.armory/atisignedannounce directory. Hasn't caused me any problems thus far.

that's not good, is it?

what are these Errors at the bottom?  when the gui client opens, it still says 0.93.3 and isn't updating:

It's not necessarily bad though.

It means the the socket that armory uses is in use. This probably means you already have armory open.

yep, had 0.93.3 still open.  sheesh.  all good now.  thks Carlton and KnightDB.

would be comforting if goatpig would git tag his source though...

You can also delete the /.armory/atisignedannounce directory. Hasn't caused me any problems thus far.

ok, more trouble:

Code:

-INFO  - 1460146744: (BlockchainScanner.cpp:636) scanned from height #362309 to #363439
-INFO  - 1460146753: (BlockchainScanner.cpp:636) scanned from height #363440 to #364372
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what():  std::bad_alloc
Aborted

would that call for a bitcoind -reindex?

edit:  actually, bitcoind seems to be running normally.

hmmmmm, I think that's the C++ runtime making that complaint, but possibly nothing to do with bitcoind. Try erasing the /.armory/databases folder and rebuild the databases folder from the start. If that's unsuccessful, try bitcoind -reindex, but I'm not confident that's the source of your issue.

That part of the code (tx scan) is a multi-threaded high performance wonder, but it took some lengthy debugging in it's original incarnation. It's possible you've done everyone a favour by finding an unknown bug. Keep the log files if you can, goatpig may want to see them.

happened again after outright deletion of /.armory/databases folder, this time at a different blockheight:

running bitcoind -reindex

[Carlton Banks]

That's even more curious. I might be wrong about it being an Armory bug then, it's hard to believe that something so deterministic has not yet happened to someone else so far. I'm stumped by this one, if the re-index doesn't work, you will need goatpig, droark or knightDk to help troubleshoot. Limited knowledge of C++ runtime errors over here.

[Cassiel]

Small install bug...

Armory is 64bit (right?) but wants to install to C:\Program Files (x86) by default, should be C:\Program Files.

That's all!   

[Cassiel]

Also, I just realised...

I uninstalled old v0.93 version, moved AppData\Roaming\Amory, installed latest v0.94.1. When Armory was all synced and db built, I imported my wallet from my old AppData\Roaming\Amory folder.

Now all this worked perfect, but I just realised that Armory never asked for my passphrase for the imported (encrypted) wallet. It just imported it and was good to go.

Is that right?

[Carlton Banks]

Armory never asked for my passphrase for the imported (encrypted) wallet. It just imported it and was good to go.

Is that right?

Yes, that's expected behaviour.

[gangtraet]

The encryption only encrypts the private keys.  You cannot spend the coins without the password, but you can see them.

[Cassiel]

Ah I understand now, OK thanks.

bitcoind -reindex worked.

after a variety of issues, i just now finished it, and 0.94.1 is running.

[kyren]

Been running 94.1 for days now.

Thanks so much!  Works great!

crap, it's back!:

How much RAM does your computer have? I think Armory might be using up too much RAM.
