RAM-Reduction & Backup Center Testing (version 0.89.99.16)

[etotheipi]

Yes I installed 0.89.99.10 and tried it and then uninstalled it using the control panel
and reinstalled 0.89.99.8.

I am now in expert mode and under the help menu it still just lists the 3 choices:
About Armory
Armory Version...
Revert All Settings

Those three options were added in 0.89.99.10. 

Hmm...
Well I reinstalled 0.89.99.8 and that is what displays in the left side of the client now: "Armory 0.89.99.8 / Expert"
When I choose that 'About Armory' option it displays 0.89.99.8-beta as well.
When I choose 'Armory Version' it says I am in offline mode and can't retrieve the version from the internet, even though the status bar says I am "Connected (268942 blocks)". 

Now, after another restart it seems stuck at "Initializing Bitcoin Engine"... but all the wallets display their balances and the status bar saying what it says above:
"Connected (268942 blocks)"

Very strange behavior, can you send me a log file?  Personally I've never seen it show connected & balances, but not also say "Armory is Online" on the dashboard.  It's almost like you somehow have a mixture of multiple versions...

Also, you should consider running Bitcoin-Qt yourself, and uncheck the first checkbox in the settings (about letting Armory run it for you).  Then try again -- sometimes it just doesn't do the auto-bitcoind well..

If you are on 64-bit Ubuntu-Debian, please try it and let me know if it works for you the same as building it yourself.

It installed and works fine on my Ubuntu 64.


Thanks for all the work.

Where would you like me to send it?

Personally I've never seen it show connected & balances, but not also say "Armory is Online" on the dashboard.  It's almost like you somehow have a mixture of multiple versions...

Also, you should consider running Bitcoin-Qt yourself, and uncheck the first checkbox in the settings (about letting Armory run it for you).  Then try again -- sometimes it just doesn't do the auto-bitcoind well..

I did that and it seemed to start okay and quicker than it ever has before. It has been running for close to 10 minutes now and everything seems to be displayed correctly ( transaction tab accessible and scrollable ) but that Help menu still has those 3 choices you said are from the latest version.

Now that it seems to be running alright I am kinda reluctant to uninstall this version and try 0.89.99.10 again.   

Thanks for the assistance, hope my feedback helps.

If anyone has experienced the disappearing tx behavior, where a zero-conf tx shows up in the history but then disappears when it it's included in a block... please send me your log file!  And especially if you remember when it happened, so I can try to locate an error message in the log file.  The problem is that I'm not sure there even is an error message at all.  So, if I don't know where to look I don't know for sure if it's there or not.

I have some strong leads on this bug.  But I'll have to reproduce it eventually, to know for sure if I fixed it!  If anyone can reproduce it reliably, any info about that would be fantastic.  (I've definitely seen it once before, but hoped it might be fixed with some of the other DB updates).

Send all log files to:  support@bitcoinarmory.com

Please test it on your OSX system.  

Nope.

I was one of the folk who was experiencing silent termination. I'm on 10.7.5. At least now I get a failure indication. Let me know if you can use the contents of what I got in Mac's Problem Report tool.

Are there any particular logs that may be of interest?

Update:  0.89.99.10-testing

Mac/OSX 0.89.99.10-testing:  Download the ArmoryQt.app for OSX
spired to support it (it's makes much more sense than the bare signatures).

Wasn't immediately clear to me if this was the same. So I dl'd and installed it. It fails the same as my email of an hour or so ago.

So I just updated to version 0.89.99.11 (4bd0919d0872f783928189917812c62ce7a02654 on "testing" branch) and I'm still experiencing the problem below. Figured I'd post it in here as well since I haven't gotten a response in the big Armory thread:

The issue is that the "Spendable/Maximum Funds" number doesn't include the coins in my offline (watching-only) wallet. It only counts the coins in my online "pocket change" wallet. If I double click the offline/watching-only wallet, I can see the correct amount for "Spendable/Maximum Funds", but they are not included in the main window.

I just tried transferring 0.5 BTC from my offline wallet to my online wallet, and it worked fine, so there are no issues there. The balance of the offline wallet just isn't showing up in the main window of Online Armory. Here's the log (for version .11):

So I just updated to version 0.89.99.11 (4bd0919d0872f783928189917812c62ce7a02654 on "testing" branch) and I'm still experiencing the problem below. Figured I'd post it in here as well since I haven't gotten a response in the big Armory thread:

The issue is that the "Spendable/Maximum Funds" number doesn't include the coins in my offline (watching-only) wallet. It only counts the coins in my online "pocket change" wallet. If I double click the offline/watching-only wallet, I can see the correct amount for "Spendable/Maximum Funds", but they are not included in the main window.

I just tried transferring 0.5 BTC from my offline wallet to my online wallet, and it worked fine, so there are no issues there. The balance of the offline wallet just isn't showing up in the main window of Online Armory. Here's the log (for version .11):

runeks, I probably forgot to respond to your other post.  Sorry about that. 

The problem is either

(1) Change the "filter" in the bottom-left of the main window to show "All wallets" instead of "My wallets"
(2) Go into wallet properties, and changed the "Belongs to" field and check that the wallet is "mine"

This is to avoid users importing malicious wallets and thinking the balance belongs to them.  They have to do a little bit of work for Armory to show them the balance.  Hope that's the issue.

Thanks. That was exactly it.

Awesome! This version is actually opening up in OS X Mavericks (previous one was giving me some system python library problems), seems to be okay so far (a few crashes but it works)

Someone just reported a problem with "Too many open files" when running on Ubuntu 12.04, 32-bit.

I have the problems on a 13.04 32-bit Ubuntu system.
As mentioned before the "sudo sysctl -w fs.file-max=5000000" still gives the error: "socket.error: [Errno 24] Too many open files".

Side note: when it breaks the GUI (Qt) still keeps running without any notification. I expect a notification is desirable.

After a lot of search and a lot of trying I found out that ulimit did the trick for me.
Add to /etc/security/limits.conf:
*                soft    nofile          65535
*                hard    nofile          65535
Reboot.
Start Armory again (now without the socket.error)

On my intel i5 with Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit the problem does not arise, even with the standard (ulimit -n = 1024).

If you have a fix for this and want to run some tests, please let me know.

@els & anyone else having problems with the windows build:

I just noticed I file missing from the package.  Both in the installer and the standalone.  I have added that file (msvcp90.dll) to the standalone directory and re-zipped it up for you:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1139081/ArmoryTestingReleases/ArmoryStandalone_0.89.99.10_w_msvcp90.zip

Please try again.  I actually have a strong feeling that will resolve it.

I tried the updated package. The file you added is there, but still no dice. Thanks for the effort Alan.

FYI, there is a log file in the package which threw me for a bit of loop since it had some error lines that I thought were new.

[goatpig]

Windows users: The load error was due to the use of pthread_win32 to support pthreads on Windows (pthreadVC2.dll). The DLL is built on some dependencies found in the .NET Framework SDK. As a result I ported pthreads myself and the error is fixed.

I am now in quite a predicament with WinXP, as it doesn't support condition variables (gg MS). I'll have to hack my way through it, and I still have a lot on my queue, so WinXP users, you'll have to wait some more ='(.

[Dabs]

I'm patient. I can wait.

BTW, how hard is this to port to an alt-coin?

[goatpig]

BTW, how hard is this to port to an alt-coin?

As in mod Armory to run on an alt coin?

Depends on much the txn and block rules have been modified. There's also the matter of the client API. Assuming they don't use bitcoind like JSON packets, you need to port that part too.

[Dabs]

Specifically, I'm looking at TagCoin. An exchange opened up in my country and I plan to hold a bunch of it. Dunno if I want it all in cold storage though, as it has a Proof of Stake mining part, where it's a good idea to just keep the client running.

[goatpig]

Never heard of that coin, can't really help you there =O

[Dabs]

Never heard of that coin, can't really help you there =O

Yeah, it's new. But it's being backed by some rich bald dude who now lives in my country. He's running a business around it, but he's letting the coin grow on it's own and won't mine it. It's scrypt.

[etotheipi]

Due to popular demand and the fact that I needed more tests for the fragmented backups, anyway:



I refactored some of our unit-test code so that it could be used directly into the fragmented backup tester. Should have this implemented along with message sign&verify very soon!
