0.96.3 Stuck scanning - 1 second forever

[Toby Moon]

Hi devs,

Thanks a lot for your work keeping this software updated...

I've just started using a windows VM after some issues with the mac.  After sending a test transaction, I am now getting stuck forever starting up.  I ran it from the command prompt and it offered up this:

P.S  I have tried using all the latest releases and had the same issue.  Now using 0.96.3.

Any thoughts guys?

Try using 0.96.4 RC3 available from here: https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases/tag/v0.96.3.992

[droark]

Also, before restarting Armory, fire up the Activity Monitor and kill ArmoryDB if it's running.

Thanks guys,

I've updated back up to 0.96.3.992, which I've tried several times too.  I keep an eye out for the DB running and am sure to kill it before starting Armory on the various attempts I've made.

I've also stopped Armory running BitcoinQt in the background.

Giving it another try now.  The last successful attempt I had, the scanning transaction history went through in minutes, but now on every attempt it's over 12 hours to then end up stuck at 1 sec.

I appreciate your help on this.

Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks
