MAC EXPERT NEEDED! BDM Error and Can't Open 0.95.1 / Rebuilt, STILL ERROR!

[DigitalCrypto]

So frustrated. I asked for help with BDM error, nothing. I have thousands tied up in my wallet I can't access. I swear I spend more time fixing this program than using it.

Had a BDM error, it kept popping up. I rebuilt, 3 days later...still the same error! HELP!

0.95.1 is not launching.

Tried to contact Support to get help and send log...page is down (https://support.bitcoinarmory.com / https://bitcoinarmory.com/support/)

Seriously, what the hell?

These guys are defunct.

0.95.1 is not launching.

You're using a year old piece of software. Update.

OSX, figures. There's some inane manipulation you have to perform so that OSX allows you to run the code in the first place. Some sort of newly introduced security feature or what not. Ask the OSX users in here, I wouldn't touch this system with a 10 foot pole.

How do I find a Mac Expert for your Program lol? My coins are lost...

[goatpig]

Droark is out of town atm. Wait for him to get back or search the forums.

My coins are lost...

You can extract your private keys at any moment in time. Stop throwing a tantrum, the only thing this achieves is deterring potential helpers, me included.

[DigitalCrypto]

It was a joke... Not throwing a tantrum, just frustrated. It's been 5 days with no solution. Look at it from my point of view, I have coins that are inaccessible and losing money rapidly. I try to get support and company support is defunct. Come to the forum for help and the only one that can help is out of town lol. I know the coins will be fine. "Armory - We've never lost any coins" that's what I was told. I can wait. I'll PM him now. Thanks for your help so far goatpig. I really do appreciate it whether you think so or not.

[droark]

Please follow these directions and try again.

[DigitalCrypto]

Thanks, Droark for the help!

Installed Step #1 Perfectly but step #2,  "brew install openssl" is not found.

Hi DigitalCrypto,
Not a mac user myself, but I'm pretty sure there should be more output after the "Press RETURN to continue or any other key to abort" line. If you are hitting return at that point, it should be installing brew...

Nope, I tried that. It says that but it starts a new command. Pressing Return/Enter does nothing.

That is certainly strange.

You could try this instead

Code:

/usr/bin/ruby \
  -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" \
  </dev/null

This shouldn't prompt and is borrowed from: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25535532/4115019

Or a manual/alternate install from the brew homepage, but that is a bit more complicated.

This worked to install homebrew but now no version of Armory will launch. 0.93.3, 0.95.1, 0.96.1 or 0.96.1.1

Okay, that does look like progress.
We've missed some steps from the instructions droark linked, though. Need to run each of these in order:

Code:

 touch ~/.bashrc
 echo "export CFLAGS=\"-arch x86_64\"" >> ~/.bashrc
 echo "export ARCHFLAGS=\"-arch x86_64\"" >> ~/.bashrc
 source ~/.bashrc
 brew update
 brew doctor

I'm not familiar enough with brew to know whether the extra commands above solely affect brew or whether the packages are also affected by them, but you may need to run both these commands next:

Code:

brew uninstall openssl
brew install openssl

If that doesn't help, it may be back over to droark.

[DigitalCrypto]

No, nothing. Still, can't launch any version.

Thanks for the help PhoenixFire. Really appreciate the effort.

[droark]

Run the "echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile" line. That should help. I'll put this in the README regardless. It's necessary in order for programs to find the brew'd version first, and not Apple's bastardized version.

Also, you'll need to run "source ~/.bash_profile" after running that line, or close the terminal and open a new one.

I ran the "echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile" and nothing happened. I ran "source ~/.bash_profile" after I close the previous window and still nothing.

So I started over completely from
 
 touch ~/.bashrc
 echo "export CFLAGS=\"-arch x86_64\"" >> ~/.bashrc
 echo "export ARCHFLAGS=\"-arch x86_64\"" >> ~/.bashrc
 source ~/.bashrc
 brew update
 brew doctor

brew uninstall openssl
brew install openssl

echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile (I pressed ENTER/RETURN, took me to a fresh line with no action)
(New window created)
source ~/.bash_profile (I pressed ENTER/RETURN, took me to a fresh line with no action)

I'm convinced I am doing something wrong somehow. I copy and paste code so it's no mistakes. Please, can you give me exact step by step instructions so I can fix this?

[droark]

When you go under /Applications/Armory.app/Contents/MacOS and run Armory ("./Armory"), what's the output?

[DigitalCrypto]

It launches but with this message.

Okay. Which version are you running? Twisted is being used in the version you're running. It was removed in 0.96.1.
