Armory 0.96 is out

[HyperDesmo]

Thanks for help. I tried that, exactly as you wrote and how it's in https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/troubleshooting/ Command-Line Options, but error and log is the same. I tried both C: and F: and created folders myself. Will try tomorrow, maybe I did sth wrong...

If you copy and pasted directly from the examples on that site, then it is wrong. There's something wrong with the quotation marks that are used there. Type it out manually, don't copy and paste.

Also, bitcoinarmory.com is not our website. The website is https://btcarmory.com/

..seems like ATI is gone for good now. Maybe they'll give us the domain? Maybe a small fundraiser would help. Or they shall shut it down, link to the new one or similar? I guess they would have a small, vague interest to help the current development, if they still hope to gain anything from their involvement back then?

Where is your bitcoin datadir located?

[Portnoy]

You're gonna to delete about 110 blkXXXXX.dat files worth of block data.

Did that and then started bitcoin core... (to redownload those blocks?)
Deleted the database subdirectory again and ran armorydb again with those parameters you mentioned.
It only got up to 461207 this time... do I need to let bitcoin core run longer?

Note: Bitcoin core was sync'd up to the latest block. It is perhaps rebuilding those blk...dat files in the background?

edit/ I mean shouldn't those blk...dat files be regenerated by bitcoin core?

Just a short simple question.

Would it be possible to make in 0.96.1 in wallet properties when I click on balances, comments, tx count or addresses and so it would order them (highest, alphabetical, etc)? It doesn't seem to work right now and i'm searching my ass off when i look for a particular address or balance.

Thank You for considering

I used:

Code:

%APPDATA%\Bitcoin

And received:
C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin
This folder exists, but it's empty

They should have been. Let me look at dbLog.txt. Also, are you building the db with DB_BARE?

Will think about it.

This folder exists, but it's empty

Why is it empty? Do you not run your node against that folder?

I tried something else...

I got into settings and turned on the option to let Armory run Bitcoin Core in the background.
I put into the 'Bitcoin Home Dir' field the location of another Bitcoin installation on an external drive (HD).
The default installation I have on my C: drive is a SSD drive.

I still run Bitcoin Core manually before starting Armory and everything starts normally it seems.
Everything is sync'd up to the latest block. That missing tx shows now with the correct number of confirmations.
It looks like Armory is continuing to stay in sync as more blocks come in.
It showed 466380 in the bottom right when I first started it and right now it shows 466381.

/edit: The only thing seemingly not normal is that when I shutdown Armory, ArmoryDB stays open and I need to shut it down manually.

I put into the 'Bitcoin Home Dir' field the location of another Bitcoin installation on an external drive (HD).

So you have 2 copies of the chain to begin with?

Yes.

It's on an external drive that can be plugged into other computers. I don't run multiple instances of Bitcoin Core at the same time.
I don't see it having anything to do with the problem I had.

Oh damn!  I looked at the shortcut for my original installation of Bitcoin Core and I see that I have pointed it to yet another chain (my C: drive was getting full ).
When I point armory there everything works with that installation now as well...

Sorry for wasting your time.

I'll try to give more details:

- I empty the entire .armory folder
- I copy that old 01.wallet
- I start Armory
- a "mirroring" popup shows for some seconds , the following files are created:

01_backup.wallet
armory_2bXSMWfMy_wallet.lmdb
armory_2bXSMWfMy_wallet.lmdb-lock
armorycpplog.txt
armorylog.txt
ArmorySettings.txt
databases

- the licence agreement shows, I accept it
- a short flash of GUI is seen, file "multipliers" is created,  new entries into armorylog (last one: "Dashboard switched to "Scanning" mode")
- segfault with no entries into any logfiles or on the terminal that I can see

My Armory is pulled from Git, checkout v0.96, regular installation procedure with no edits to any files.
Started with regular

python ArmoryQt.py --armorydb-ip=192.168.1.1 --armorydb-port=9001

And as I hinted, if this is a local problem here on my side, I don't even need this fixed.

I hope anything is of help here?

Build 0.96.1 and try again.

Build 0.96.1 and try again.

All the same segfault with v0.96.0.1-testing.

I did not! That was the issue the whole time. Thanks for help!

You mean the invalid instruction issue?
