I've been seeing some connection to client lost messages, what generally causes this ?

It could be core maxing out it's p2p connections

I'm still green under the collar with Armory, so, huh ?

Default, bitcoin-core uses 8 connections to connect to other Bitcoin-nodes.
So I would say those messages are harmless (until someone else chimes in here).

Note that people tend to have issues when they have a custom bitcoin.conf.  Usually happens when they limit connections, and Core maxes out its P2P connections with peers that aren't Armory.

I set up a server with 24/7 running bitcoind. This one shall be the only one with "outside connections". My local bitcoind on my workstation, with Armory too, connects only to that server (via "connect="). My local bitcoind connects fine. Armory insists it is offline, though.
What's going on here? The only thing I change is activating/deactivating "connect=".
Does bitcoind need to have at least x connections to be considered "online"?

Also, I'm happy to visit the bitcoin-konferenz(.de) in Cologne, Germany.  You might find a groupie there, Alan! ;-)

Since doing the latest update to Armoury on my Xubuntu 14.04 (64) machine it's never worked since.  The database never builds it gets to 99% <1 Minute to go and just hangs there forever.  I've tried deleting the two folders within -

Code:

:~/.armory/databases

- and I've tried also uninstalling plus purging the Armory install.  I do have a non-standard setup where my -

Code:

/home

- is on a SSHD and my -

Code:

/

folder is on a SSD.

Maybe you have to add 127.0.0.1 to the allowed IPs in the connect line? Is the rpcuser and rpcpassword still there?

..added localhost to "connect" and "addnode". Still offline.
Yes, rpcuser and rpcpassword are unchanged.

Ah, forgot one thing, you could try "listen=1". According to https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin#Bitcoin.conf_Configuration_File this is disabled, if connect is set.

Try adding this argument to your command line "--skip-online-check"

Bang, spot on!
Now it works, with "connect" and "listen".
Thank you a ton, flipper!

I don't have custom anything and it seems to be working so I guess I'll just forget it since it was more of a curiosity.

Also, is there a setting to have Armory start on system boot / login ? If there is I may have over looked it. One other thing too...

Is there a way to ad a watch only wallet that I got from the blokchain.info site ?

AFAIK, only wallets created / backed up by armory can be added.

Because after double click to my wallet (wallet properties window) and double click to any address (address information window), there is list of transactions but nothing can be done further. I'd like to have there right click to "transaction info window".

I see what you mean, I'll get add it but you'll have to wait for the next release to enjoy it.

That's great, looking forward.

I have to report a wierd issue happen to me now.

Few minutes ago I received payment from coinshift and Armory shown me two separate transactions.
First thought was, Hurray, a double payment. But then I look closer and both are with same tx ID.
So I decide to restart armory and after that, this transaction is gone. But I can see it on blockchain ... So now there is difference in balance between blockchain and my armory wallet.

Assume, now I have corrupted blockchain, and have to download new one. Right?

Has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks

What version are you using?  For a brief period of time, we had released a version that suffered from a duplicate transaction issue exactly as you describe.

Either way, to fix it you don't need to redownload the blockchain.  Simply wait for it to get at least one confirmation, and if there's still a duplicate, use "Help->Rescan Databases".  Should take 30 minutes.

I'm always up to date, whenever Armory announce new ver. I download it immediately. At the moment I have ver. 0.92.1-beta. I'll do the rescan an will post here the result.

Thanks for advice.

EDIT: Rescan worked, it's OK now. Was so simple, I am ashamed of myself for not trying it prior making this useless post.

I think it'd be good if you made the offline version of Armory to work with Lubuntu.  As most people use older hardware for offline machines plus the latest Lubuntu 14.04 is an LTS version.  I had no luck trying to install the offline bundle on Lubuntu 14.04LTS or Lubuntu 12.04. Going to try with the recommended Ubuntu 12.04.3.

For now, yes.
You can only import an Armory wallet (doh!) or individual private keys.
Armorys wallet formate is incompatible to the others.
Well, in fact all others are incompatible, as Armory was the first one with HD wallets.
The new wallet formate is in the works, and will use "compatible" BIP0032 too.
