Armory does not appear to be scanning chain

[steamboat]

To start, computer specs:

AMD b55 quad core 3.8 ghz
16g ram
Win 7 64 pro

I'm using qt .8.1 and armory .87.2. I was originally running qt .7 on a different computer. I installed qt .8.1 on this computer, xferred the data files and rescanned. Qt is now showing my correct wallet balance, as well as being up to date (green check mark in bottom right). I then installed Armory and opened in online mode, and it has been showing "offline while scanning the blockchain" for hours, with "Connected (0 blocks)" showing in the bottom right corner. I have restarted Armory, restarted the computer, run in administrator mode, and nothing seems to work. Has anyone else experienced this issue, or been able to successfully pair Armory with qt v .8.1?

It's definitely supposed to work.  I'm using it right now, in both Windows and Linux.  Can you please export a log file (from the File menu) and email it or PM it to me?

Sent. Thank you for the fast response.

Sent. Thank you for the fast response.

Are you using any non-standard settings for bitcoin-qt?  A bitcoin.conf file?  It looks like Armory is having a tough time communicating with it...

[steamboat]

I have not changed any settings. Just copy/pasted the old directory into the new and ran qt with -rescan. I messaged you what may be causing the problem, though I do not know how to fix it.

Try removing the blk*.dat in the base directory.  Leave the blocks/ directory alone.  Only delete blk*.dat and blkindex.dat in the base.

[steamboat]

Okay, shut down Armory, then QT. Deleted blk*.dat files from the base roaming directory. Restarted QT, all is well. Restarted Armory, got a hang for a few seconds, then appears to be continuing with the same. Log update shows:

No, that's fine.  It will look in both the main directory and the blocks directory for those blk files.  It will pick the ones with the latest timestamps.  Though, the latest version has more debugging output.  Can you try it?

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1139081/ArmoryTestingReleases/armory_0.87.9-testing_win64.msi

It might help me figure it out.

[steamboat]

Sure. Do I need to uninstall the previous version or run the install over top of it?

Nope.  You can always install over the previous version.  All wallets and settings will remain untouched.

GAH!

Can you try repairing the installation?  Or completely remove c:\program files (x86)\Armory ?  Then reinstall it?

I assume you're in Win7-64?

[steamboat]

I am indeed. I'll try to repair, and if that doesn't work I'll wipe and do a fresh install. I haven't put any coinage on there yet so I don't care about any of the data.

[steamboat]

Okay, progress!

Repair didn't work. Uninstalled old and installed the latest and it is 100% synchronized with network, and Scanning tx history, currently @ 11%. Log file looks like this

Forgive me, I am new to Armory.

I have bitcoin-qt running and Armory is still saying "disconnected".

I have restarted both and bitcoin-qt is updated with a green check, but Armory is still disconnected.

Any ideas?

The dashboard should tell you why it's disconnected.  Are you using 0.87.2?  

Can you try the latest testing version and send me a log file if it still doesn't work?

Hi etotheipi! Strange thing just did happen. I tried to sent 1 btc from wallet and apply coin control functions. I could send it only with third try, Armory said that "Blockchain is not accepting transcation blah-blah" or something similar. After 3 tries, this window poped up again, but transaction finally get to the blockchain and it was visible in transactions filed of Armory. After ~30 min I opened Armory again (it was minimized): that transaction disappeared and balance show previous numbers like 1 btc was never sent. Restarting didn`t work...how can I do rescan in Armory so it will see this transaction? I use Arch Linux + bitcoind 0.8.1 + Tor + Armory 0.8.7.2-beta.

P.S. What is mempool.bin file? Deleting it changes nothing.

Can you find the transaction on Blockchain.info or blockexplorer?  Make sure it wasn't a double-spend.  Transactions don't usually disappear from the ledger, unless a block came in with a conflicting transaction.

Next, when it's online, can you see that the block-count in the bottom-right corner is the latest?  Make sure the number matches the latest block on the network (latest seen on blockchain.info).  If it's behind, that's why it's missing ... Armory doesn't have access to all the blocks for some reason...

mempool just holds zero-confirmation transactions.  If you delete it when there's a zero-confirmation transaction in your ledger, it will disappear on the next load.

Damn! Blockchain wasn`t completely downloaded I need some sleep. Sorry for bothering with dumb questions and thank you
