Armory - Discussion Thread

[doug_armory]

i saw this in the Bitcoin wiki for deterministic wallets:

"Armory deterministic wallet
Armory has its own Type-2 deterministic wallet format based on a "root key" and a "chain code." Earlier versions of Armory required backing up both the "root key" and "chaincode," while newer versions start deriving the chaincode from the private key in a non-reversible way. These newer Armory wallets (0.89+) only require the single, 256-bit root key. This older format is intended to be phased out in favor of the standard BIP0032 format. "

is this going to be a problem for those who keep and maintain old style wallets with both the chain code and root key?

No. I don't know the exact technical details but older wallets will be safe moving forward. I think new wallets will be required to use the new 2.0 format - I could easily be wrong, though - but people with older wallets need not worry; their coins will be safe.

That being said, as always, make backups once wallet 2.0 support is included.

BIP44 is the standard for multiple account wallets derived from a single seed.

diff btwn 32 & 44?

hi guys may i know what is the difference between :

TxOut Script Type:  Standard (P2SH)

&

TxOut Script Type:  Standard (PKH)


i made a payout from my wallet to 2 different btc add but 1 of the Tx Script Type is P2SH & the other is PKH

BIP32 is a standard for deriving key pairs from seeds.

BIP44 is an application of BIP32 for creating a standard HD wallet structure.

It's a "nuts & bolts" difference that a vast majority of Bitcoin users need not care about. Armory handles all that behind the scenes unless a user must, for whatever reasons, send coins using P2SH or PKH. If you're still curious, look up scripts and the five "standard" script types.

where is the Armory logo icon file stored and what is it's name?

Probably depends on the OS (?). Some search terms can be found here: https://github.com/etotheipi/BitcoinArmory/tree/master/img

why won't the logo appear on my Armory.desktop launcher in Ubuntu?

in the desktop file i inserted:

Icon=BitcoinArmory/img/armory_logo.ico

for Bitcoin-Core you can do;

Code:

install -Dm644 bitcoin/share/pixmaps/bitcoin128.png ${DEST}/usr/share/pixmaps
install -Dm644 bitcoin/contrib/debian/bitcoin-qt.desktop ${DEST}/usr/share/applications/bitcoin.desktop

then update your desktop database with a trigger like this.

Code:

[ -x /usr/bin/update-desktop-database ] && echo "Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils" && /usr/bin/update-desktop-database

Something similar should work for Armory.

Sorry man I've just had a look at the Makefile, make install looks like it already sets everything up
it uses rsync to mv the img directory to ${DESTDIR}/${PREFIX}/lib/armory but im not sure if that
includes an icon that shows up in your desktop launchbar - is that what you
want or ...

[Polyatomic]

Ah your on Ubuntu, so I guess you created a deb, to make dpkg and the package manager
aware of it - which should of set everything up. Not sure why its not working then.

Armory looks cool. Might try and get this running in KDE Plasma 5.
hmm,  getting a few compiler warnings here.

Probably, not possibly uninteresting but here is the buildlog http://dpaste.com/158KN1Q

It looks like you're building using GCC 5.1, am I correct? If so, Armory isn't ready yet, at least when I used an experimental version under Ubuntu 15.04. (In fact, I'm surprised it compiled for you! The Crypto++ code triggered compile errors.) AFAIK, 15.10 will ship with GCC 5.2 when it comes out. That's probably when we'll make sure Armory plays nice with GCC 5.

Yes 5.1.0

Ok. I'll try with

Code:

clang version 3.6.0 (tags/RELEASE_360/final)
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix

to see the different diagnostic output, maybe an extra hint or two.
Cheers for the feedback man.

Yes 5.1.0

Thanks for confirming. Obviously, GCC 5 will work with Armory eventually, and I'd be happy to look at any patches that get submitted. It's just not a top priority at the moment.

I think Clang 3.6 will work fine. Haven't tried it myself but that's what OS X 10.10 uses (or some kind of variation), and compiling Armory over there is fine. There are some warnings that haven't been fixed yet, unfortunately. :/ I'd like to see clean code myself and will keep pushing to get our codebase cleaned up sooner rather than later.

I was using teamviewer on another machine to move some wallets from a laptop to a beefier machine when I lost access to the machine. After having it rebooted now armory loads but bitcoind crashes right away:

Any ideas?

Hi, what files do I need to copy if I want to backup the blockchain and my wallet to copy paste into another computer so I don't need to download the whole thing? do I just copy the entire Armory folder in %appdata% just to be safe? thats what I do with Core.

[philipma1957]

Okay I am a newbie when it comes to armory.

 I have a pc with an intel 4570t cpu

2 sticks of 8gb ram

a 250 gb samsung ssd


it is a new build from old parts.

it has windows 7 ultimate 64 not 32

So what armory is best to load to this.

92 ?

and where is the link? on the site below


https://bitcoinarmory.com/


so I have been looking at the site a bit.  and I want the windows 7 pc mentioned above to be the offline pc.

I can use a second windows 7 pc as a partner online pc….  it has windows 7 home  as the os.  I also have a mac mini with 10.10.3 os  could this works as the online pc with the windows 7 offline pc?

You can download latest version, 0.93.2 by clicking https://s3.amazonaws.com/bitcoinarmory-releases/armory_0.93.2_winAll.exe. You can get the link to download latest stable version by going to https://bitcoinarmory.com/download/#tab-stable. Download and install it. You will need Bitcoin core with Armory if you are using it as hot wallet or watch-only wallet. If you want to use Armory as offline wallet, don't connect to Internet and you don't want to install Bitcoin core for it.
