Do I have to run a full node? Got 5gb left.

I'm trying to retrieve a seed from a multibit HD wallet that I've been using since 2 years... Dunno what happened, but the password doesn't work.

Anyway just money ey!

Armory can't make sense of that seed. From what I'm being told, no other wallet currently can besides Multibit itself. And yes, Armory requires a full node.

I'm trying that way to retrieve my funds. Got to scan all the addresses! https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/

Just a question. Can a run a node on an external hard drive with the installation as is? And is it safe to store my bit coins before the first of August?

Actually I heard a lot of stuff, but it's not as bad as people think right?! No need for a Trezor wallet...

What are you thoughts Goatpig?

[goatpig]

A proper cold storage setup is preferable to a HW wallet. These are better suited for daily spending purposes.

You can't import your Multibit seed in Armory as is. If you want to migrate your funds to Armory, should create a wallet in Armory, grab a recipient address and send your coins to that from Multibit. You can also reveal the private keys in Multibit and sweep them in Armory, but that's a whole let more prone to error.

You can run the blockchain data in an external drive. If you have another machine, you can set the node + database on that machine and run the client on your regular PC if you feel so inclined. Your biggest limitation is bootstrapping the node, which demands a lot of bandwidth and disk space.

As for August 1st, all pre fork coins will be present on both side of the fork. Anything you spend past that point can and will be mimicked on both sides, unless you taint your coins to be valid on only a given side. If you are dead set on which side you want to be in, you can go down that path. Otherwise you are better off just sitting it out.

git submodule init
git submodule update

This did confuse a lot of people, and it will be many more.
I'd suggest to print a clear errormessage if submodules are missing, and ask the use if the above was done?

Will have to figure it out with autotools. yey....

[naska21]

You can set the blockchain path with --satoshi-datadir, the db path with --dbdir. You can create armorydb.conf in your datadir's folder and set the args there if you don't want to bother with them every run.

Could you specify this dir more presicely, is it this ....Roaming/Armory/databaseses ?

And what exactly should be put into armorydb.conf ?  Please,  give an example

Today did transaction (with 0.96.0.2) that succeed but some error window has poped up


what is this?

In fact I has put a bit lower fee than suggested one (200 Sat/B instead of suggested 400 Sat/B). However it was included into the 1st following block , but such error was a bit  distracting to me

Means your node has bad connectivity/is overloaded. Update to 0.96.0.3 for better verbose.

I tried to send transaction 8f124355f16f6df69aa3985d464b817bcfa4190a95bedb96ecff6090dc29d2af back on 4th June, and it got zero confirmations. I figured my fee was too low and it would eventually either confirm or disappear, but it still shows as 0 confirmations now, with Armory claiming "Connected" and "(469262 blocks)". I checked on Blockchain Info which says is confirmed after 9 minutes. Why is Armory still saying it is unconfirmed?

I am using Armory 0.96.0.2 and Bitcoin Core v0.14.1. I recently updated both after a long period of not using Bitcoin, but my wallets and older transactions show up fine.

(469262 blocks)

You're trailing over 1000 blocks.

I installed Armory 0.96 and Bitcoin Core 14.1 onto a new computer. Got wallets set up in Armory. Blockchain fully synced. Moved part of balance from Armory to Coinbase to test and Coinbase shows balance available to use, so was node processed. Went to send rest of Armory balance to Coinbase and remaining Armory balance shows unconfirmed. Closed Armory. Deleted mempool.dat, then restarted Armory. Synced. Still shows unconfirmed. The remaining balance is not actually a received transaction awaiting node processing, rather just the total of my wallet balances. How do I get my Armory wallet balances confirmed when there was no transaction sending the remaining balance there? I was going to try running Armory with "-rescan" but don't know how to do that - if that is a potential solution.

[goatpig]

Post your logs.

[goatpig]

TimR: use pastebin!

[Tim R]

Just saw your pastebin comment after sending last one. My apologies.

[goatpig]

So your tx still appears as unconfirmed in Armory?

[Tim R]

yes, still unconfirmed. FYI I am on the 6 minute gap for posting due to newbie to site.

[goatpig]

After log file inspection, you will have to wait for new testing build to get the fix.

[Tim R]

Any guess on timing? Had planned to utilize for upcoming ICO. What actions would I need to do once testing build is online, or will tx automatically just become confirmed?

[Tim R]

goatpig:  Many thanks for checking it out!

[goatpig]

You can try to build the testing branch if you want to use the fix right now. Otherwise, sometimes this weekend.
