Armory 0.96 third testing builds

[goatpig]

Third testing builds, updated changelog. Added RBF auto fee bump from the ledger (right click a RBF zc to see the option)

Binaries: https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases/tag/v0.95.99.3-testing

---------------------------------

The changelog covers most of what's new with a couple caveats:

- Added CPFP and RBF. CPFP is accessible from the coin control GUI, RBF has its own. CPFP and RBF are mutually exclusive. The RBF GUI is up for change, this is just a tentative approach for now.

- Auto bitcoind woes should be fixed, give it a spin

---------------------------------

I'll repeat the warning in the changelog for the good measure:

This version introduces new address types. These address types are not compatible with previous versions of Armory. Any version of Armory (or any wallet for that matter) can pay to these addresses, but only Armory 0.96 can spend from them. Naturally, the new features are opt-in, even code wise.

Legacy P2PKH addresses are untouched and can still be signed by anything 0.92+.

The SegWit address type is locked to testnet only.

---------------------------------

I've spent to and from the new nested compressed key script on the mainnet. Regardless, I recommend to start with small amounts at first, as a precaution.

Are you referring to BIP 142? If so, GMax says it's abandoned.

In any event, thanks for getting this out to everyone! Looking forward to everybody's feedback.

Any estimated time to a final 0.96 release yet?
Ty for all your work btw

The segwit address type is the p2sh nested segwit addresses.

Ahhh, okay. Disregard my previous post.

Can't tell. If a lot of bugs are found during this testing phase, I can't quite release in such state.

OK, tried the new build. Running Windows 8.1, had Armory 95.1 installed, but uninstalled it after 1st error. Could not run the new .exe. Here's contents of the ArmoryQt.exe.log log file.
Let me know if you need anything else. I have core .14 so Armory wasn't working before I tried this anyway.

If you go to the folder where you installed Armory, do you see a folder named "lang"?

[Wr8th]

No - no folder named "lang". Only folder under where I installed Armory is one called "tcl"

[achow101]

No - no folder named "lang". Only folder under where I installed Armory is one called "tcl"

That's probably the issue then as it is expecting the translation files to be there. There's probably a packaging problem for Windows.

Well, please remember that I was at least able to bring up Armory 95.1. It had problems connecting/communicating with the 14.0 core - but at least I could see it.
This beta version won't even come up.
As I said, I uninstalled that 95.1 version after the first error from the beta build - so I must've also removed the lang folder?? Why isn't it there for the beta?
Should I uninstall beta, go back to 95.1 and copy the lang folder? Or can someone just tell me how to get it?

Thanks for whatever you can do.

Here is a copy of what I have in my lang folder: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bxw3ip9QfNOUTU1laEEyU2l6a1E. Extract the zip file into wherever you installed Armory. Make sure that if you double click the lang folder, you see a bunch of files with a .qm extension on them.

The reason the lang folder is not there is due to improper packaging of the binaries and the installer. I have it because I do development of Armory and run straight from source.

I'm afraid it's still not coming up. When I run it now it complains it can't write to the logfile even though file is there and read and writable.
I tried moving it out and a few other things but exe still won't run.
Thanx for your efforts - I 'preciate it. But, I'm kinda on a time crunch to get some bitcoins so I'm thinking of trying another wallet if 0.96
ain't available soon.

I'll see if I can replicate the issue.

For now, you can use 0.95.1 and downgrade to Bitcoin Core 0.13.2.

[Wr8th]

Thank you.
By downgrading to Bitcoin Core 0.13.2 - it's not going to download that huge database again, right?

[achow101]

No, it will not have to download the blockchain again. It will use what is already downloaded.

Well, I've got Armory 0.95.1 running with Bitcoin Core 0.13.2 but it is just sitting there - as it was with BC 0.14.
There's a full green box in the "Initializing Bitcoin Engine" section with that little icon slowly spinning around. This is what is was doing with 0.14.
The task manager tells me that ArmoryQT.exe is indeed running and I also see a "bitcoind" process running, but it appears that nothing is really
happening.
Is it building its own database? Where can I look to see if it's doing something?
Sorry to keep giving this stuff to you (should I move to another thread?) - but just trying to figure out if I'm spinning my wheels here or if something
is going on. Do you know if this combo has run in W8.1 succesfully before.

Thanks so much for your support.

You need to run Bitcoin Core and Armory separately. In Armory's settings, uncheck the box "Let Armory run Bitcoin Core in the background". Then stop Armory, start Bitcoin Core, and restart Armory.

[Wr8th]

Hey! That did it. I'm online and connected.
Thanx so much again for your help.
