And it works with BTC Core 14.0!  This is the first time in over two months my Armory wallet has completely worked.

Thanks!!!

Excellent work. Thank you, goatpig.

• It looks like you're slowly getting rid of Python and moving to C++ only. Is this true?
• How do you recommend we upgrade to the new wallet format, including for our wallet file backups? (I prefer to backup wallet files and memorize password.) Should I just launch Armory 0.96 to update it automatically and export the wallet file from there?
• Are you expecting more wallet file updates in future versions?

I think the plan is to have all of the backend, crypto, and computationally intensive stuff in C++ and have all of the frontend GUI stuff as python.

• How do you recommend we upgrade to the new wallet format, including for our wallet file backups? (I prefer to backup wallet files and memorize password.) Should I just launch Armory 0.96 to update it automatically and export the wallet file from there?

Nothing needs to be done to upgrade. The current python wallet format is still the primary format. The C++ watching only wallet will be created automatically and automatically mirror the current python wallets.

• Are you expecting more wallet file updates in future versions?

Definitely. The goal is to eventually move to the C++ wallet format which is supposed to be built from scratch so that multisig, compressed keys, BIP 32, etc. can be properly supported instead of the current format which isn't really extensible.

Thanks! Works great again!

Looks good. No issues with 0.14.1 so far.

Goatpig, Achow101, Droark and others, you should really have a donation address so that we can at least buy you a few beers for your hard work, much appreciated.

goatpig suggested that he might do it after this release, and he definitely deserves it, now that Armory is in such good shape. goatpig?

I update from bitcoin-core-0.14.0 and armory 0.95.1 to 0.14.1 and 0.96.

I'm getting this:

Code:

$ armory 
/home/user
(ERROR) ArmoryUtils.py:3747 - Unsupported language  specified. Defaulting to English (en)
/usr/local/lib/armory/armoryengine/Transaction.py:2790: SyntaxWarning: import * only allowed at module level

-ERROR - 1493735610: (SwigClient.cpp:61) can't connect socket

And it remains stuck in "Preparing Databases".

Edit:
I had to close armory gui and to kill ArmoryDB and bitcoind, I did it few times and now it seems to be working. It's scanning transaction history now...
Will it take too long?

Depends on your hardware

@johnlu:
I think there is some kind of issue with the GUI when starting armory 0.96 the first time after upgrading. To solve this you actually just have to close armory normally after armorydb has fully loaded and restart it again. Afterwards everything should just work fine. ;-)

@goatpig:
I have to fully agree. For that top notch software you would definatly deserve donations. I'm pretty sure a lot of users are willing to donate! :-)

It's been showing this for the last 2h30m...

And also repeatedly printing this in the terminal:
(python2:28385): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_progress_configure: assertion 'value >= min && value <= max' failed

Try running ArmoryDB in the terminal with the arguments that you use for running ArmoryQt in the terminal. Then run ArmoryQt and it should work.

And also repeatedly printing this in the terminal:
(python2:28385): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_progress_configure: assertion 'value >= min && value <= max' failed

I'm pretty sure that error is benign.

Thank you for the voluntarily hard work!

Hi, just updated Core and installed this version.

Getting a crash as this occurs in ArmoryDB: -INFO  - 1493967598: (..\BDM_Server.cpp:1025) unregistered bdv: 02f4bc80f1788c274f50


Thanks for any advice!

Ma Armory synchronizes fine. However if I choose "receive" and then the respective wallet I get a small loading window which just doesn't resolve into anything and just stays there:



When I double click on the wallet and press receive in the wallet view it just doesn't react to the button. Other UI elements work fine.

Win64 0.96

Needless to say that the watch only wallet is configures as my own with security offline.

I had this already on the testing release. Never wanted to receive at times so I don't know if with both which I have tried.

When I try to send BTC I get "coin selection failed with targetval > value" error with "Change Address Type" set to Auto. Force to P2PKH works however.
Armory 0.96 and Bitcoin core 0.14.0

Will do as soon as I get it back up. I computed an additional 100 addresses for one wallet and now it is always stuck at 99% of rescan of TX history with ArmoryDB has stopped working error. so I deleted the whole DB and am currently building with:

Code:

thread-count=1
db-type=DB_BARE

Will report back.
