Armory 0.93 testing release! (with 0.05 BTC bug bounty)

[goatpig]

I'm afraid it's all true! ArmoryQt.exe isn't a valid Win32 application, and that's a problem with your offline XP machine as it appears to be 32-bit windows. Armory 0.93.0 is all 64-bit. I think goatpig may have promised a 32-bit Windows build of 0.93.next-sub-version. If not, 92.3 still uses the same format for signatures, so you'll be OK no matter what.

I have promised that, that's true. I hope to still make it happen but I can give no guarantee the x86 build will run on XP. The current version will build in x86 btw, if you are brave enough to setup the Windows build env (I should write a howto)

Download 0.93 for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8+ (32- and 64-bit)  - this is what Download page on Armory official site states. So they  claim that 0.93 is 32-bit compatable

More like we forgot to relabel the link properly.

One more question. Say I will forget about Armory and use  pure Bitcoin-Qt instead as my wallet. Will I be able to import my Armary wallet into Bitcoin-Qt sa thatI my bts were safe? And what wallet should I import  online or offline? All my btc are in off-line Armory wallet

No, the two are very different. But you always can make transactions from the old Armory to a new Bitcoin Core wallet.

Thanks for clarification. I am just starting to be affraid of Armory as it becomes so buggy with new releases. Developers should not expose them to the public untill all bugs were fixed. IMHO

They are working very hard to resolve them. I wouldn't worry about the safety of your bitcoins because of any of the current bugs.

From what I understand you're still running XP on your offline PC. I'm sure you realise that OS is on its way out (no more support by Microsoft). You can not expect software developers (like Armory) to support old OSs (and hardware for that matter) forever.

Bug: I cannot sort transactions or wallets by clicking the top bar, but I can sort lockboxes just fine

A lot of people sure do like to complain about free software... What's with this entitlement mentality?

There was a fairly long testing release phase where ATI was paying people for submitting bugs. Did you contribute during the testing release?

Keep in mind that Bitcoin Core also just had a major release changing certain things about the way the block chain is managed. So Armory not only had to deal with it's own internal changes, but Core's as well.

Armory has improved drastically in the last release and I hope they keep doing whatever it is they are doing. Everything Bitcoin is still beta and anyone involved with Bitcoin needs to understand this.

+1! I was gonna say that but you beat me to it!

My Armory upgrade from 0.92 to 0.93.0.70 beta with bitcoin core v0.10.0 was successfull on Windows 7 64-Bit.

Even the custom database directory was detected correctly.

Only the bitcoin core client did not keep the custom database directory, but that's not Armory's fault...

I had to perform a Rescan that I was triggering from Armory, Help, Rescan Databases.

Thanks for the good work!

Really? There's no way it remembered the directory.

When printing a paper backup on OS X, the print dialog freezes after a split second, and the only way to print is press Enter or Esc, then on top of that, it doesn't even print! I suggest adding an option to save the paper backup to a PDF file, then it can be printed externally, and/or fixing the print dialog

I'm not having any issues printing. This is, in all likelihood, another Qt issue. Hopefully the Py3/Qt5 upgrade we're working on will fix these stupid Qt bugs once and for all. In the meantime, I'll see if we can get some sort of workaround into the next (post-0.93.1, to be exact) release.

Troubleshooting:
To move BOTH Bitcoin Core AND Armory home dir:
1.Complete both steps above but instead, modify Armory Shortcut by adding: --satoshi-datadir="F:\Bitcoin\new\home\dir" --datadir="F:\Armory\new\home\dir"

That's not working for me.... Windows 7 64-Bit

Only moving one or the other works, but not both.

Other question... can I maybe move the installation also to my external drive, or does it need to sit on my system-drive?

Did you also move Bitcoin?

So we had a problem with auto-manage bitcoind in the .80 testing release (it's a pain to test with auto-bitcoind, so we miss that easily).  Sorry!  Hopefully this is the last testing release before the 0.93.1!

Hello,

Armory's CPU usage remains high even in this version, spiking up to 25% every 2-3 seconds even in prolonged idle state.

Yes we are aware of that, this fix is rather complicated so we'll ship it with the next version of DB changes.

Edit: "Rebuild and Rescan Databases" from the Help menu fixed it.

Windows 8.1 x64
I have bitcoin core 0.10 installed and Armory 0.93.0.82 running. I sent a transaction to my Armory wallet from a web wallet. Originally it showed as having received the transaction and 0 confirmations but it never went above 0 confirmations even though online block explorers showed it as having been confirmed many times. Then I realized that Armory shows "connected" in the bottom right but the block count isn't increasing. It is still stuck on block 347509 while current block count shows 347813. But Armory shows as connected and Green.

I ran bitcoin-qt and it showed the correct number of blocks.

I tried "Rescan Databases" from the Help menu but that doesn't seem to have fixed it.
