Here is the situation

My original balance was 5 BTC on PrimeDice.com.

Them I made withdraw (for 5BTC) to a wallet address that I had set up using Armory


Then my problem started.

I logged into Armory and got a message from Bitcoin QT saying the block chain DB was corrupt.

So, I re-scanned the entire block chain, logged in to Armory and BOOM!!!

The 5 BTC were gone and the wallet address doesn't exist in my Armory.

**Is there anything I can do to capture these BTC back???

The block chain shows where over 12 BTC was transacted to this address and I can even see my 5 BTC that was withdrawn - but alas (no wallet exist any more).

If you happened to have copied Armory chain code and root key somewhere, you can recover your private keys without Armory at http://brainwallet.org/#chains

Otherwise, make immediately a copy of your armory directory (~/.armory if you're using Unix). It contains your wallet data, and I'm sure Armory's author will be able to help you if there is anything to be salvaged here.

And after making the backup, update bitcoin-qt to the latest version, this is a known bug.
Then start the new version of bitcoin-qt and have it reorganize the database. Unless you have a backup of the bitcoin-qt data directory from before you started, then restore it before starting the new version of bitcoin-qt.

I am selling in stock OneStringMiner boards, based on the Bitfury chips. Have a look here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=495536.0
