And even with my 0.005 fee my 3-input, 2-output (including change) test transaction (send-coins-to-self) is still not in a block after 50 minutes. Then again there has only been 3 blocks in that time frame.
EDIT: Two Deepbit blocks 15 seconds apart and my test transaction has two confirmations. It now shows in my 'Unconfirmed' and 'Maximum Funds' balance, but not in my 'Spendable Funds'.
It sounds like what was displayed in this case was as expected (except for the "unconfirmed balance" at zero confirmations). Is this correct? The issue was actually time to first-confirmation of the network, not Armory itself. That is correct, I just wanted to verify that it showed up in the Unconfirmed balance once it had a confirmation.

"Unconfirmed" should mean "less than 6 confirmations", not "1 or more". However, I need to modify that to mean "less than 6" for regular tx, and "less than 120" for coinbase. Spendable should be "1 or more" for regular transactions, "more than 120" for coinbase.

Sent the Armory debug sys info to your gmail. If you were looking for something else or want me to run xyz, let me know.

Okay! Coinbase transactions have been fixed! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdl.dropbox.com%2Fu%2F1139081%2FMainWindowMining_small.png&t=665&c=3qwsS2l_CBTLlw) I'm going to find the source of the zero-confirmation-but-not-unconfirmed bug, then probably consider releasing this 0.80- alpha. I think beta will have to wait until I have something that won't take 4 minutes to load every time (first load is fine...) EDIT: I won't recompile all the versions yet, but since I already did the Linux-64bit version, so you can download it here if you want to try it... It's 0.79.99.2.

Sweet! Armory 0.79.99.3 Downloads Page-- Fixed coinbase transactions in the ledger. Completely. Seriously. -- Fixed zero-confirmation transactions not being added to unconfirmed balance -- Fixed change-to-self being marked unconfirmed -- Changed optimization settings on Windows builds (don't know if it makes a difference at all) AND I noticed an opportunity for optimization that I thought I had implemented months ago -- perhaps I did so in another dev branch that got orphaned. Or maybe there was a reason it didn't make it in... I will probably make 0.79.99.3 into 0.80-alpha, then work on those optimizations, and saving data between loads.

If we create a wallet in Armory 0.79.99.x, can we make it a brain wallet (backup to memory) in a later Armory version? Or does a brain wallet have to be created as such?

In a month or two, I will be implementing a new wallet format -- with the intention of being compatible with the new wallet that the core bitcoin team will be switching to. This means two things: (1) The deterministic algorithm will be changing. Completely. However, I have every intention of maintaining support for the old wallets (if possible... I think it is). (2) The new wallet will be using a much shorter seed. The current wallets require 512 bits of information to reconstruct your entire wallet. The new wallets will only require 160 bits. So this means that if you insist on memorzing your wallet seed: (1) it would be really hard to do it right now. 128 hex characters is a lot. (2) It will get considerably easier with the new wallet format.

Installed the new Bitcoin 0.6.3rc1, that took 11 hours to load the blockchain. Now I've been trying to open Armory and it's been loading for a few hours.
I ran some sysstat to get data, is there anything specific you would be interested in? I have run various ps options, iostat, vmstat, sar (not historical), and top.

What's the current memory usage? Is it increasing? The longest I've seen it take is 5 minutes and that was a VM that was swapping. And that should be improving soon... I'll try to get this optimization in soon and see what comes of it. But honestly, I don't know what to make of your situation. Can you run it from the command line and tell me what the console output is? Where is it frozen? Any error messages?

The "interaction" with cgminer is likely that they are using the same CPU. Armory's CPU usage spikes for me on initial load and seemingly randomly while using the program.

Is it possible that Armory is using up too much RAM on the machine on startup (spiking the RAM), causing CGMiner to not have enough RAM to run Diablo/other hashing algorithm appropriately?

My guess is that 1 GB is not enough for the new blockchain utilities. Or it's not enough in the presence of other resource-heavy applications.
I don't know why it doesn't load at all, though. I would just expect it to take a while ... perhaps 5 minutes?
I just tested it on a 10.04-32bit VM with 1 GB of RAM and it took 58s to load. Not fantastic, but it works. I wonder what else could be causing it...
Anyone else have any issues with it? I was hoping to get some positive responses about the fixed coinbase transactions and unconfirmed values :-/
I'll probably convert make the last version 0.80-alpha and get started on the next round. Which by the way, I looked and found I had already put in the optimizations I thought I had -- they were just in a differnet place. So I don't know what else I can do other than just making it save data between loads...

If the current tools are not able to determine what the offender is, assuming some application may be running, what other diagnostic tools or techniques can I use that may help resolve this?

New features and bug-fixes! (Unofficial 0.81-alpha) - Export Transactions Window: Right now, it only exports in .csv format. You can select which wallets to export, sort order, and date format. It's a .csv so there's no way to integrate formatting or formulas, but I want to eventually add the capability, if possible (I found a python-xls-writer module that appears to have a very permissive license I might be able to use for this purpose). For now, I'm happy just to have the export capability implemented at all!
- Options/Preferences Dialog: Set your default transaction fee, date formats, usermode, and system tray notifications!
- Major bug fix (spend zero-conf change): If Armory needs to use zero-confirmation sent-to-self outputs to construct your transaction, it will crash. No more.
- Major bug fix (address importing): How did I miss this? This is why I need more testers! It's not 100% -- I've witnessed a crash while rescanning in Windows, once. Can't reproduce it again in Windows or Linux. Please let me know if you find a way to trigger it -- but worst case it will only cause Armory to crash after importing, and then everything will be functional and correct after restarting Armory.
