Armory online,Node offline

[HCP]

Sorry to be a bore... but can you please post the dbLog.txt log file as well?

There may be something a little more descriptive there:

Code:

It's not boring me at all , it keeps me on the edge actually^^.Is there any sophisticated way of abstracting the content?Wordpad and Editor show nothing, OpenOffice only a huge number of ######.

[justanothernick]

Push

Does anyone got an idea how to extract the information from Dblog?

[goatpig]

dbLog.txt, just post that file here, we'll go over it.

[justanothernick]

Please see the above post, when I try to open it the file is either empty or full of hashtags.

[HCP]

It's just a plaintext file... it shouldn't require any sort of "fancy" editor like OpenOffice or Word or anything... Notepad or Notepad++ should work just fine. If it's full of garbage then something is broken somewhere

[justanothernick]

I guess something is broken then.Any idea what to do now?

[HCP]

Shut everything down, delete armorylog.txt, dbLog.txt and then reboot the PC... then once it has resstarted. Give it another try. If you're still getting the hashtags in the file instead of proper output, then shut everything down again, delete the logs and then try starting Bitcoin Core manually, let it sync... then run ArmoryDB.exe manually from the command line...

It should be in: C:\program files (x86)\Armory\

Note, because you have Bitcoin datadir set to a custom path, you'll need to use the --satoshi-datadir argument:

Code:

ArmoryDB.exe --db-type="DB_FULL" --cookie --satoshi-datadir="E:\Bitcoin\blocks"

See if you get any weird errors displayed on the terminal window... if not, check dbLog.txt again.

Deleting both files worked and I was able to open dbLog with Wordpad.Here are the most recent outputs of armorylog: https://pastebin.com/TkMbYfKV and dbLog: https://pastebin.com/8GZ45jC9 . While scrolling through the settings I found another thing that made me curious, I'm trying to send to a SegWit address but apparently Armory uses the Legacy Armory addresses (P2PKH), could this be the reason why I'm not able to make transactions?

[goatpig]

Please see the above post, when I try to open it the file is either empty or full of hashtags.

Top of the file may be filled by a lot of blanks as part of a log file truncation bug, the bottom half should have the data nonetheless.

Where do you see that? At any rate the bug you're experiencing is most likely this:

Code:

2021-02-01 20:56:00 (INFO) -- TxFrames.pyc:827 - Change address behavior: NewAddr
2021-02-01 20:56:00 (ERROR) -- Traceback (most recent call last):

It's trying to grab the parent tx for the output being consumed but the DB can't find it. Is it ZC parent? Otherwise you should rescan your db.

[justanothernick]

Deleting the dbLog.txt solved the problem, there are no hashtags, blanks, or whatsoever.

I found the described address type at -> File -> Settings -> Fee and Address Types -> Change Address Type.

Please help me out what is the parent tx and a ZC parent?

I can rescan the DB but have done that several times before, without any success.

[HCP]

Parent TX = Which transaction created that UTXO that you're trying to spend?
ZC Parent = Zero Confirmation Parent... ie. is the parent transaction unconfirmed or confirmed?

[justanothernick]

If thats the only option you see I will rescan the DB and try to send again.Does not sound very promising to me bc it has been renewed so many times by now but I'm desperate to get Armory running now.

[goatpig]

How are you creating the transaction that leads to this error?

[justanothernick]

When I'm trying to send BTC with the "Auto fee byte"  option checked and "enable RBF" unchecked I'm receiving the message "This is lower than the suggested minimum fee rate of 200 sat/B", I can decide whether I want to continue with this low fee or not. After choosing "yes" simply nothing happens. I decided to enable RBF and up the fee rate to the suggested 200 sat/B, after pressing "Send!" it is just not reacting, seems like Armory is not "receiving" the input. My explanation for this was that RBF is not working by default like I was told earlier in this thread.

Pretty much this.

[goatpig]

It doesn't have anything to do with RBF, it has to do with some of your UTXOs. How many are there? You can check that in the UTXO selection dialog?

[justanothernick]

Currently, I can't do anything. I've rescanned the database and had to cancel after waiting for a day each time. Don't know what to do now because obv I don't know if it is even "working", according to the taskmanager it uses < 0,1 CPU and I've been waiting for 24h before canceling it bc it felt odd to take this long.

[HCP]

Are you saying you cancelled the database rescan? or you were cancelling trying to send the transaction?

Also, can you please post your latest logs.

Delete your Armory databases folder and try again.

[justanothernick]

Honestly I'm not sure if I can go through this process it feels like I wasted a month of my life already with this program.What other options do I get the coins out of my wallet?
