Armory 0.94.1 is out

[goatpig]

Oh! Sorry for missing the post. Thanks for the info.

Is a fix slated in the next release?

Yes

[Hazir]

Any info why Armory is no longer displayed on Bitcoin.org site as one of the suggested wallets? I am talking about their "Choose your wallet" section.
Armory used to be listed there but it is not anymore.

Something happened?

See: https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/1235#issuecomment-185676811

I tried to get it reinstated here: https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/1301 but it hasn't been done yet.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I just upgraded to 0.94.1 from 0.93.3 (old Website) and had to rescan and rebuild Databases to make the programm pass the Step with reading the Header.

Now it all works but I cant find any update function anymore... is it gone or is something at my programm wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Without fail Armory 0.94.1 crashes when it starts "Loading Database Headers".

I am fully in sync with Bitcoin Core. I did not have this issue with 0.93.3. OS: Windows 10.

Is there a layman's reason for upgrading to 94.1? Will 0.93.3 ever not be able to receive transfers while online?

I appreciate any help regarding resolving this error, thank you very much.

Hey mate had the same problem, just click (while loading) at the Top menü >> Help >> Rebuild and Rescan Databases >> close the whole Armory and start it again >> be happy

Yes, the database format has changed so it is both much faster to rebuild and rescan and much smaller than the original. You should delete the old databases to free up a lot of space (several 10s of GBs). If you delete the databases folder inside the data directory, it will remove the old databases and the new ones, but don't worry, the new ones will be rebuilt very quickly.

Now it all works but I cant find any update function anymore... is it gone or is something at my programm wrong?

No, that is how it is supposed to be. The updater stuff was removed since the announcements server is no longer working, the development has changed leadership, no announcements server is set up that we can use, and we don't want any phone home code. It may be reintroduced later if we decide to.

Thanks for the reply!
Sorry but all this Armory things are pretty new for me. Could you pls tell me which directorys/Files I have to delete? Running Windows 10 x64 Enterprise and had the normal installation (no custom settings/paths).

What is a 'phone home code'?
Oh thats sad. where can I find the latest stable version of Armory? Is it this Link https://btcarmory.com/releases/ ? Or is there any other link for stable versions?

Is there any option to change language?

Thank you very much in advance!

For you, it should be %appdata%/Armory Delete the folder named "databases" and then start Armory.

What is a 'phone home code'?

Phone home code is any code that communicates back to a server controlled by the developers (i.e. it phones home).

Oh thats sad. where can I find the latest stable version of Armory? Is it this Link https://btcarmory.com/releases/ ? Or is there any other link for stable versions?

That is the link. All releases will be announced there with links to the downloads.

Is there any option to change language?

Working on it. It will likely be available in 0.95.1. If you want to help with that, we have a Transifex project open at https://www.transifex.com/bitcoin-armory/public/. You can help translate the project to another language.

Damn.. that gave me 80GB how is this possible? The whole Blockchain is just 70GB. But as long as it works I dont complain about getting back 80GB of my SSD

Oh ok but how will the new Update-System work then?

Don't know yet, it isn't really a priority right now.

Hi guys just send some money with Armory 0.94.1 and got this error.

https://i.imgur.com/16NywHi.png

The Error is "Invalide Tx"
If the money now gone forever??

[M4rt1n]

Ok. This is what happened.

The transfered money is where it should be! and already got over 20 confirmes, but I still cant see the Details or even open the transaction at https://blockchain.info as I cant see any details of the transaction.

Even deleted the DB twice just to make sure the DB is builded correctly.
Now my friend confirmed the money is at his account but the fact of this Errormessage and that I cant see any details of this transaction bugs me quiet a lot

Is there any solution for this problem?



Thanks in advance!

That's a known bug and should be fixed in the next version, 0.95.

The money is not lost, as the transaction has confirmed.

Just go to Help > Rescan Balance and follow the directions of the dialog. It will rescan the blockchain for your balance and you should see the Bitcoin there.

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.

that's not good, is it?

So both v0.94.0 and v0.94.1 are not signed?
That way I have to trust that noone manipulated data in the repo circumventing the regular, visibly logged commit infrastructure?
Are/will any releases be signed?
For me, this repo is so much of a target that the risk of unsigned releases is too high for me..

All releases are signed. All future tags will be signed.

Sounds great!
Just to be clear, a "release" is like a major version, right? Is 0.94.0 a release then, and is it signed already?
I'd like to step up to 0.94, for the much reduced database size..

A release is any version that has a tag and published binaries. The binaries for 0.94 and 0.94.1 are hashed and those hashes are placed into a file and signed. That has happened with all releases. The tags are also signed, but goatpig didn't do that for 0.94 or 0.94.1. Future releases will have signed tags.

[Ente]

Aah, I see! Thanks for the clarification!

edit: So Armory doesn't like a pruned bitcoin-core? I need the whole blockchain each time Armory starts up?
edit2: Restoring 91 GB bitcoin-core stuff.. *sigh*

Nope, pruning won't work. It reads the block files directly and it still needs the entire blockchain which a pruned node cannot provide.

I know I'm probably opening a can of worms and that this isn't a priority, but 0.94.1 can't seem to auto manage bitcoind in Windows 10 14931.

I've had similar problem before, and back then it was because of permissions, but this time I've set them before running bitcoind and Armory.
