Hey bitcoiners,
I've just recently decided to jump on that bandwagon, and dang it seems like it was a ton of trouble just for me to be able to make a few anonymous purchases. It would've been a ton easier to just give my identity to coinbase and be done with the offline wallet, anonymously procured bitcoin through local sellers, etc. But, I stuck through the pains of getting the blockchain (initially tried through armory, didn't work because of the site being down), downloading the thing with Bitcoin-qt 11.2 (some kind of bug caused the database to read corrupted everytime I tried downloading it), redownloading the blockchain through bitcoin-qt 12 (finally worked). So, I got the bloody blockchain. When I got to Armory, it did the initial building of the database, and a few hours later it got through.
Only issue is that it does that initial building every startup. When I shutdown armory, it goes through the "preparing shutdown" fit for a real while (More than 5 minutes). So, it can't be because of improper shutdown. I can't go on believing that armory needs hours to startup it's little program.
TL:DR (is that the term?):
Armory is acting like it needs to come out of the womb while putting the mother in labour for half a day everytime it wakes up in the morning. (God knows that's how it went when my child was just a young lad, those mornings were something!)
