Armory Crashing Bug

[justusranvier]

This happens often enough that I don't get any benefit from the changes in 0.90. I almost never have a clean shutdown.

Code:

I dont see any either. Send us the full log, and the cpplog too. I may find some hint in there.

Your contact page mentions GPG keys, which is an excellent idea, but I don't actually see any listed or on any keyservers.

Yeah that failed pretty hard, I'll try to get it fixed. Thanks for the report.

Luckily, one of the things I'm doing in 0.91-beta is fixing all the issues with Armory that cause it to slow down when huge wallets are loaded.  One of those things is the fact that the main thread processes new blocks, and freezes everything while it's processing.  If it takes more than 20s, then you can end up with this error.  If we stick it in another thread, and don't update the GUI until it's done, then it doesn't matter how many addresses you have, you will just be notified of new blocks with a delay.

Also, there's just some missing optimizations that lead it to be so slow, anyway.  Those will be fixed first.

Finally, I may be able to disable the unclean shutdown thing.  It just occurred to me that I can rewrite all the address history only after each block when it's in a good state.  If it crashes during a block processing, it will restore the previous state.  And Armory will rescan the last 2016 blocks anyway.

I'm a new user of Armory, trying 0.90, and it's crashing consistently before I have even imported my wallet. I've already had Bitcoin-QT running to download all the blocks. I can send you my log files, as well, if you'd like.

Hmm, I might have accidentally ran it twice, and I noticed that it had that agreement window that pops up at the beginning hidden behind some other windows (since it doesn't seem to be required to click through that before you can click to the main GUI).  That could have been some reasons why it was crashing. We'll see.

Scratch that. It still crashes while just sitting there. Even without a wallet imported.

Would like the logs indeed. Curious to see which bug this is. It can't be the same as justusranvier's, for you have no wallet loaded.

Armory keeps crashing all of the fucking time, so annoying.
