Unceremonious ArmoryDB death when scanning tx history

[Randseed]

I hadn't done any actual transactions with my wallet in a while until yesterday. I noticed that while I could send bitcoins out, the database didn't seem to be updating. I'd have a bunch of confirmations visible on blockchain.info, and none reflected in Armory. So after much fiddling around, I upgraded Bitcoin Core to 0.15.0.1, and Armory to the latest version which appears to be 0.96-beta-a3d01aa722.

ArmoryDB, however, commits suicide at 81% through scanning the transaction history:

Code:

I don't know why it's falling on its face like this but I presume that there's a corrupt block. Unfortunately, since it isn't telling me which one to delete and redownload or even giving me a timeframe, it isn't so easy.

I'm going to try a complete rebuild of the database and see how that works.

Yep. Odd. So I basically just renamed my L:\Armory folder, created an empty one, and had Armory rebuild the database from the blockchain. Then imported my wallet files from the old folder. Seems to be working.

You're downloading Armory from the wrong place... So you're using an old, outdated version.

Correct website is: https://btcarmory.com
Most recent "stable" version is here: https://btcarmory.com/0.96.3-release/

However, that version doesn't play well with Bitcoin Core v0.15.0.1... so you'll need the latest beta release from here: https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases/tag/v0.96.3.99

Aka v0.96.4 RC1
