Hi I have a problem on MacOS Sierra 10.12.3 with Armory 0.95.1. It doesn't launch at all. Just jump 3-4 times in doc and disappear. I have no idea where to dig to fix this problem. Can u help me?

Edit:

Armory definitely works for me on 10.12.2. Just sent and received coins today, actually. That said, can you do me a favor? Go to /Applications/Armory.app/Contents/MacOS/py/usr/lib/armory/armoryengine/ and edit ArmoryUtils.py at Line 1267. Once saved, start Armory and see if it finishes starting up.

Old:

Code:

LOGINFO('   Preferred Encoding    : ' + locale.getpreferredencoding())

New:

Code:

prefEnc = locale.getpreferredencoding()
if prefEnc == None:
   if os.environ.get('LC_ALL', '').upper() == 'UTF-8':
      prefEnc = 'utf-8'
   else:
      prefEnc = 'Unknown'
LOGINFO('   Preferred Encoding    : ' + prefEnc)

EDIT: Added a suggested fix.

I found out this solution but it doesn't help. Same problem. And my log file is clear... no problem report's at all

Hi, trying to verify ubuntu download as per instructions on your site (https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/download/)

When I get to this step:
 $ dpkg-sig --verify *.deb > Processing armory_0.85-beta_amd64.deb... > GOODSIG _gpgbuilder 821F122936BDD565366AC36A4AB16AEA**98832223** 1353699840

I only get:
dpkg-sig --verify *.deb
Processing armory_0.95.1_amd64.deb...

not the part after that "> GOODSIG..."

Please help, using Ubuntu 14.04

Thanks

Armory hasn't been signed like this in a long time.

Follow this guide instead:

Thanks for the information.
Having a different web address than: https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/download/
makes this a bit scary. Shouldn't this information be on that page? Which is the official armory site ?
Hope you understand my fear.

One question also: If I install armory on ubuntu, do I also have to install bitcoin core first or will armory do that for me?

This stickied btw. As for why the site for my fork doesn't use the old domain: that domain belongs to ATI, the former Armory maintainer.

One question also: If I install armory on ubuntu, do I also have to install bitcoin core first or will armory do that for me?

There was code in ATI's Armory (up to 0.93.x) that phoned home. During that process, it would grab the links to the latest Core version, download and install if for you. The phone home server is down and that bit won't work anymore.

As for my versions of Armory (0.94+), I've gotten rid of all phone home code to begin with.

Hi goatpig,

I am having big problems with armory 95.1 on Ubuntu 64bit 16.04.
Firstly, running armory while it opens bitcoind itself, gives the errors that others have posted on here which is:
'No JSON object could be decoded' in the armorylog.txt
as well as constant errors in bitcoin debug.log file such as:
'ThreadRPCServer incorrect password attempt from 127.0.0.1:36132'

So i tried to run armory by itself after running bitcoind manually, it scans transaction history and freezes at 97% all the time.
I deleted the armory DB folder, and when restarting armory (while bitcoind is running), it will eventually freeze again at a different %, at a specific block everytime (as far as i can see in the dbLog.txt).
If i repeat this process again, and if i let it run, it would eventually finish, but the block it was stuck on will show at the bottom right hand corner of armory, the block it always freezes on.  So in other words, it is not up to date or does not communicate with bitcoind blocks.

Please help and tell me what i can do to solve this issue? should i revert back to armory 93.3?

[goatpig]

Multiple possibilities. Could be bad block data, unstable CPU, running out of RAM, some unknown bug.

You should create your own thread and post armorylog.txt and dbLog.txt. This thread is too long to track this issue here.

Apologies if this has been asked, I searched around but didn't find.

I updated Bitcoin core to v0.13.99.0-d2c9e4d, but am still on armory 0.93.3.
Getting ready to upgrade to 0.95.1, but after loading up Armory, I still see all my wallets/offline lockboxes/multi-signature wallets and balances are correct.

Can I still use Armory 0.93.3 to sign transactions (with core 0.13 running), and create multi-sig (requires offline signing) transactions? Any danger in at least trying this to see if it works? Thanks!

The problem got solved.  While armory was stuck at some percentage everytime (from deleting the DB completely from armory folder), what i did was, killed the armory process and ArmoryDB as well. Restarted it and it started syncing properly with bitcoind.

So the above problem only happens when deleting the database folder in armory folder and starting it from scratch, it will reach a certain percentage and freeze at scanning transaction history.

The other problem is that i cannot let armory open bitcoind itself, otherwise i get RPC username and password errors.  Currently i am running them separately.

I really hope that the newer version runs bitcoind on its own by using cookie like you mentioned in your posts.

Thanks

Yes, 0.93.3 still works. It is recommended that you upgrade so that you can benefit from the reduced database size and better performance.

Sweet, thanks. On a similar note, if I update Armory to 0.95.1 to my online computer, but keep my offline computer at 0.93.3, will I be able to still use multi-sig across both versions (online at 0.95.1 multi-signing with offline 0.93.3 armory)?

A little OT but very short question:
Are you (goatpig) in favor of Segwit / Neutral / in favor of BU ?
I have my own opinion, but also wanna hear from someone who actually has knowledge about code and stuff.
If u have the time you can comment on your opinion, or just give the answer without any explanation.

He is in favor of segwit. The next version of Armory will have segwit support.

Doesn't have to mean the same. I also follow every rule of law even if i do not like them...

He has explicitly expressed support for Segwit on the IRC channel. Furthermore, Segwit is not a law, nor is it required for every wallet to use segwit. If he did not like segwit, then he does not have to implement it.

Armory devs have typically refrained from commenting on non technical aspects of consensus debates. I do not intend to break that pattern.

Voting with code is more sensible in this space, and my dev branch currently hosts a fully fleshed SegWit feature set.
