Armory 0.96.3 released

[Ente]

Tonight, apparently ArmoryDB crashed. This happened once before, months ago. Both times on 0.96.3.
This is what I got in logs:

armorydb.sh[12614]: -INFO  - 03:34:40: (BlockchainScanner.cpp:852) scanned from block #504582 to #504583

armorydb.sh[12614]: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
armorydb.sh[12614]: what():  missing file map

A simple "service armorydb {stop-start}" fixed it (I had to stop it, only a start didn't suffice).

It's a FIY only, it's no hassle for me, and eventually I'll update to 0.96.4 anyway.

Cheers,

Can I ask you a few questions about your DB usage and experience in PMs?

Yes please! :-)

..happened twice again:

-INFO  - 20:54:37: (BlockchainScanner.cpp:852) scanned from block #506854 to #506855

At least in this cae, it seems like my machine was offline (unrelated to armory) and went online (I have to pull the ethernet cable once in a while). That's why it found the blocks so fast.

Does it use a SSD or a HDD?

[Ente]

Does it use a SSD or a HDD?

SSD for OS and program files, HDD for core blockchain and armory db.

Ente

[goatpig]

HDD for core blockchain and armory db.

That's your culprit.

[Ente]

HDD for core blockchain and armory db.

That's your culprit.

Sorry, doesn't seem to be the hdd. It's a btrfs filesystem, I scrubbed it, shows zero errors. Nothing in syslog neither.

Ente

[goatpig]

It's not a matter of filesystem so much as cost of flushing. The DB looks for data on disk after it receives notification for a new block from the node. The node may not have been done flushing the data on disk by the time it has pushed the block over the P2P.

i'm trying to print out a list of all private keys and especially imported private keys to move to another wallet.  when i go to "Backup this Wallet" and "Export Key Lists", i don't see a display of all the individual private keys like i used to.  could this be b/c i'm working with a "Restored" wallet?

You'd have to elaborate on  what you mean by "Restored". Did you restore this wallet from the private root? What makes you think you have imports in there?

yes, a restore from the private root.  yeah, i guess i forgot about that part about imported keys not being included in that restore method.  but i don't even see the native keys whereas i have before.

[goatpig]

but i don't even see the native keys whereas i have before.

It won't show you addresses that aren't used nor requested. You need to extend the address chain, request new addresses or sync the wallet.

[alomar]

confused about something.  for a long while i've been working with the std Armory wallet with one imported key. i'd like to get rid of that imported key.

since there doesn't seem to be a way to delete that single imported key, i decided to do a Restore of my offline wallet using the root seed.  i then made a new watching only wallet which i then imported into my online Armory (after deleting the existing watching wallet) expecting it to display without the imported key.  yet when i go into Coin Control, i still see this imported key with a balance in it.  how does this happen?

[goatpig]

If you restore on top of an existing wallet, you get the option to recover the meta data from the existing one (comments, address chain length, imports). This is the most likely explanation. You can delete imports from a wallet, but you have to be in Expert User mode.

are you talking about the offline or online wallet?

[goatpig]

Applies to both.

[alomar]

Applies to both.

then that's weird b/c i deleted the old WO wallet from Armory first before importing the restored new one.  that should have deleted the imported key.  but it's still there while the comments are not...

i've been in Expert Mode.  i don't see an option to delete an imported key anywhere...
