Problem

[FreshyOnMars]

I made a shortcut for btcQT and I've put the target like you said but when I press OK it says:

"Problem with Shortcut"
The name -datadir="D:\Bitcoin" specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.

And of course I don't know how to run it from command prompt

No, you need to add the argument to the END of the target line... like this:


NOTE: the first part of the target has simply scrolled off the side as the entry is so long... but it includes the FULL path to the bitcoin-qt.exe...

Code:

"C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -datadir="D:\Bitcoin"

Okay I did it like you said and it worked, now it's downloading the blocks again.

Second thing is about the latest Armory testing builds, when I go to the link goatpig has posted and download the latest it just download some files I can't open, don't know how to install that.

Well that's a good start Hopefully it'll sync up and all your transactions will show...

Given you're on Windows, the only thing you should need to download is the file named armory_0.96.0.4-testing_win64.exe

That is the 0.96.04 testing build for Windows (64 bit)... the .deb file is for linux

So I've got Armory updated now and BTCCore is syncing, I'll update you when sync is finished!

All right so of course there's more problems until the end of this god damn tragedy.

When I start BTC Core through the shortcut(with that special target) it goes through veryfing blocks but it won't open the BTC Core because it says not responding and the only thing I can do is to close it. The last time it was up and running the procces was at 75%  or so if that helps.

When I start my first BTC Core without that shortcut, it opens normal and is fully synced but that doesn't help me since my Armory balance doesn't change with that one.

BTC Core can be quite CPU intensive... and it can do the "not responding" thing occasionally if it is really busy hashing stuff while calculating checksums etc... any chance you can post the debug.log

In that case, with your first BTC Core open (and fully synced)... can you goto: "Help -> Debug Window" and see what the "Datadir" path is... if that is NOT "D:\Bitcoin" then you can try and set  the path in Armory to be whatever it says there...

All right its finally synced up, and it fucking works perfect now!

Thanks both of you for your patience, real good work

Peace
