Armory - Discussion Thread

[justusranvier]

Part of the issue is that they refused to get us a persistent donation address, so they only address we could get would technically only be valid for 15 min.

Would support for stealth addresses fix that problem?

EDIT: The re-installation of Armory solved my issue: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=56424.msg8257970#msg8257970

Bought Thinkpad with 380 GB HDD.
Installed Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 (64-bit). Formatted entire HDD with Ubuntu built-in encryption.
Checked for software updates via the "software updater" graphical application.
Installed bitcoin core v0.9.1.0-g026a939-beta (64-bit) via terminal:

Code:

$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt

Let blockchain download completely
Installed Armory 0.92.1 for Ubuntu 12.04+ (64-bit) by double-clicking on the .deb, which opens in Ubuntu Software Center, then clicked "Install" button.
Let Armory build databases.
Left computer on for a few days to host the blockchain. Go Bitcoin!
Come back to PC to make a transaction. See an error screen. Click "send ubuntu error report".
Start Armory again. Get error screen again. This time, click "show details". Take screen captures, posted below.
Reboot PC.
Start bitcoin core.
Start Armory. Armory closes itself.
Start Armory. Armory closes itself.

Tips?

EDIT: Read the armory support page, which requested an armory log file. Here it is from my most recent PC reboot, then start Armory, then watch Armory close itself:

Start bitcoin core. [...]

That's not necessary. Armory calls bitcoind by itself. It actually warns you it bitcoin core is already running.


I had a similar issue (also 14.04) and the support team advised me to use --satoshi-datadir=/home/<youruser>/.bitcoin/ in the command line, even though I already had set it in the Settings dialog in Armory. Some minor bug apparently.

Lavender:

First of all your wallet is has private keys and no encryption. I suggest you create a proper WO wallet before you move any funds there.

Next, create a ticket and post your armorycpplog.txt:

[haploid23]

Is there any way to have a custom vanity address be the start of a new deterministic Armory wallet address?

That's not necessary. Armory calls bitcoind by itself. It actually warns you it bitcoin core is already running.


I had a similar issue (also 14.04) and the support team advised me to use --satoshi-datadir=/home/<youruser>/.bitcoin/ in the command line, even though I already had set it in the Settings dialog in Armory. Some minor bug apparently.

I skipped that step, trying to avoid bogging you down with the details. Armory says it cannot find the Bitcoin directory, despite me using the default directory, so I unclicked "manage bitcoin core" within Armory and instead manually launch bitcoin core before opening Armory.

I just tried starting Armory by typing:

Code:

python BitcoinArmory/ArmoryQt.py--satoshi-datadir=/home/<youruser>/.bitcoin/

But it said the armory file could not be found. I googled how to start armory in terminal, but did not figure it out. I just uninstalled Armory and re-installed it. It's building databases now.

Lavender:

First of all your wallet is has private keys and no encryption. I suggest you create a proper WO wallet before you move any funds there.

Next, create a ticket and post your armorycpplog.txt:

https://bitcoinarmory.com/support

Thank you for the concern. I missed a step in my procedure - the wallet is not a full wallet, I imported a watching-only wallet.

Originally, I did not want to submit an official help ticket, so that the developers can develop and perhaps forum members can help support. I just reinstalled Armory, so I'll see if that works.

EDIT: The re-install of Armory fixed my problem. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=56424.msg8257970#msg8257970

[...] I googled how to start armory in terminal, but did not figure it out. [...]

I installed from the .deb file and

Code:

armory --satoshi-datadir=/home/<youruser>/.bitcoin/ &

works for me. You can then close the terminal.

Calling it (replacing "<youruser>" with your username, of course) is redundant.  That's the default location.  If you run Armory without specifying --satoshi-datadir, it will automatically use /home/<user>/.bitcoin.  You only need to use --satoshi-datadir if you normally run bitcoin-qt/bitcoind with a non-standard "-datadir".  If not, you don't need to use that arg (unless your $HOME variable is not set to /home/<user>)

Problem solved, it's all working properly now. My theory is the following. When I came home, my Windows PC was off when I was expecting it to be on. My Ubuntu PC was on as expected. Perhaps a temporary loss of power to my home was enough to turn off my Windows PC and somehow corrupt my Armory database on my HDD.

Ok, so I've settled on a used laptop I can use for an online system.

This should be more than ok, right ?

1.6Ghz CPU, 3gb of RAM running vista, hard drive will be at least 180GB.

Is there any way to have a custom vanity address be the start of a new deterministic Armory wallet address?

What do you mean by "be the start"?
Like, the seed (many random words) in BIP0032 compatible wallets, like Electrum?
Or the first Bitcopin address in that wallet? Like having a vanity address in the wallet without importing it?
Or the "public chain seed" (or how it's called), which is normally completely invisible?

Yes ram isn't used much anymore

Cpu will take days to process both Bitcoin and armory though. Just leave it for a week.

I know, I did that when I ran just core of this laptop using an external HDD. Foret what the CPU is on this system though, but it's bogged down with a shit ton of stuff and the "new" laptop will be core / armor only with MBAM and Norton.

Anything else I should consider or would MBAM and Norton (when I get a new license) be enough ?

Edit: Last I asked, someone said I should install core, install armory let both build at the same time where I considered install core, build core, install armory, build armory.

Only if it's dual core. It's good be right?

Not sure on stock mem but it came used on eBay with 3Gb and no HD, battery or charger. I have everything I need minus the HDD caddy and HDD but all I can tell you is 1.6Ghz w/ 3Gb of memory.

Just so were on same page, I'm talking about the laptop I just got for my online only system. Not the one I'm using now since I mentioned both.

Edit: You asking about dual core because of the mbam, norton and what else I should consider query ?

Says dual core. By build do you mean compile? Or process blockchain. Either way you should be great doing it at the same time. Why not get another for offline signing?

I plan on it, just dont have the extra funds right now. I mean I tech in BTC but I kinda just want to experiment with online right now.

I currently do all my trans off the BC android app.

What I meant was the DL of the chain, I debated doing one then the other or both at he same time as suggested by others where they said install core, then armor, run armory and let armory handle both at the same time.

Yes let armory also torrent the blockchain for you

Ok, but what about the thing I asked in regards to Norton & MBAM, should I bother with anything else let alone any of those two since it will be an online only system and not something using email or visiting potentially dangerous pages.
