Armory is offline only

[tardy]

Hi,

This is the first time I've used Armory.
I am running Armory 96.5 and Bitcoin Core version v0.19.0.1 (64-bit)

The issue I am having is that Armory is offline and doesn't connect to Bitcoin core for the live data.

Below is an image of my settings

The issue is shown as the Node offline being the only setting that Armory can be in.

Also in the CMD prompt for ArmoryDB.exe there is an error message.
--ERROR - 1578024513: (..\BitcoinP2P.cpp:1032) caught exception in processDataStackThread: invalid varint size

In order to see updated balances from transactions I need to restart Armory.

What would you recommend I do to fix this issue?

Thanks for your help

Most likely Bitcoin Core is not configured to allow incoming connections from Armory, so Armory thinks Bitcoin Core is "offline". Can you please post the settings from the "Settings -> Options -> Network" screen in Bitcoin Core and also the settings you have in your "bitcoin.conf" file.

Also, can you please post the contents of your "armory.log"? It'll be in your "%AppData%\Armory" folder... (which looking at your screenshot is going to be C:\Users\Udeshs\AppData\Roaming\Armory). There might be an error in there.

Open the armory.log file with a text editor... then copy/paste the contents to: www.pastebin.com and click "Create new paste". Then post the unique URL generated by pastebin.

Hi HCP,

Thanks for your help.
Here is the screenshot of Bitcoin Core's network settings.

It appears to be accepting incoming connections.
I don't know if this is relevant but when I check https://bitnodes.earn.com/ to see if my node is running it doesn't show up.

As for the config file I get an error when trying to open it from the Bitcoin Core GUI

Although I found the bitcoin.conf file in the directory that is storing the block data so inside E:\Bitcoin
https://thankyousatoshi.s3.amazonaws.com/bitcoin.conf

The log file exceeded pastebin's limit so I just uploaded the log file.

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks

This appears to be your problem right here... You're NOT running 0.96.5! You're actually running an old, outdated version of Armory.  Where did you download it from?

You need to download and install the one from here: https://btcarmory.com/0.96.5-release/

Once you have 0.96.5 installed and running, it will hopefully work ok.

You we're right!
I was running the old version of Armory from https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/
Silly me
 
Armory is connected to Bitcoin Core now.
Thanks for your patience and help
