File -> Export Log File

Upload it to Pastebin or 0bin or Cryptbin or wherever and then post the link here.

TY droark,

Do I upload from the open Armory command, or upload it from the win 64 exe file (linked at the top of this thread)?  

As a non geek, left brain trained in other fields, I appreciate the help along - so I can assist you folks.

Maybe when you'll stop hijacking threads and show some logs someone will help you. Until then, you're not gonna get much assistance.

actions report re the update to the friend's computer:

I found the link for Armory 0.96.3.991 at the top of this thread and installed to the friend's Win 10 x 64 computer. 

The load in of 0.96.3991 successfully interfaced and upgraded the 0.96.3 already installed, retaining the watcing only "offline" security status of the wallets already installed (with non correct zero balance indicated for each of the watching only copies of those on line wallets).   

Bitcoin core 0.15.1 had already been installed and synced to itself. 

Once Armory 0.96.3991 was loaded various experiments were attempted:

1) close BC core 0.15.1, and then start 0.96.3991 - result 0.96.3991 continued to not sync to BCcore 0.15.1

2) open core 0.15.1 first and then start 0.96.3991 - same result of 0.96.3991 not syncing to Core 0.15.1

3) open 0.96.3991 first and then attempt to open CoredB 0.15.1 - result 0.15.1 opened and self synced but absent any correlation to 0.96.3991 - also missing any conflict error messages about 0.96.3991 already accessing the CoreDb (ie to the effect that only one copy of CoredB can be open at one time). 

----

Throughout all the above experiments with 0.96.3 and now with 0.96.3991 the watching only wallets are not synced to the CoreDb 0.15.1 and all indicate a zero balance.   

Thank you for your assistance. Is there a different version of Armory which should be installed beyond 0.96.3991 in order to sync Bitcoin core 0.15.1
(after the Bitcoin core 0.15.1 has self synced to itself)? 

Or is there a necessary different procedure of install (as in the older versions 0.93.3 and earlier - where Armory was first installed and then Armory needed to complete the full self sync of the BCcore database) so the wallets will sync and indicate their balances?

Again, TY for your kind assistance.

PhoenixFire, idoB: I cannot reproduce your issue on either my setup nor fresh Win7 & Win10 VMs. Are you using the installed version or the .zip standalone? If you are using the installed version, can you try with the .zip?

Can confirm PhoenixFire finding: It's the shortcut 'Start In' path field that needs to point to Armory install-dir in 0.96.3.991 where it didn't before.

Thanks for nudge towards the zip. So, it seems like something is possibly choking related to passing in the working directory.
Directly running ArmoryQt.exe from either the zip or installer version works perfectly: DB launches and everything works as expected.
Launching from a shortcut hangs - Except if the shortcut's "Start In" field matches the install directory.

Sooo this works fine:
Code:
Target:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe"
Start In:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory"


This does not work, and I believe is the default shortcut created by the installer:
Code:
Target:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe"
Start In:
"C:\Users\Public\Desktop"

This also does not work:
Code:
Target:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe"
Start In:
-Leave blank-

Can't believe it was such a minor thing - but RC1 didn't care about the working directory. Hooray for not really being a code problem?

Bug report: RC2 offline computer does not recognize RC1 transaction?

When trying to sign on an offline signer, running 0.96.3.99 (RC1) a transaction created by an online computer running 0.96.3.991 (RC2), right after loading transaction from file, a red label "Unrecognized!" appears with the following in the log file:

You'll have to take that up with Theymos (the admin, last I checked). AFAIK, Goatpig has no control over that.

I wanted to create some Segwit addresses to transfer the main BTC holdings. I made various attempts at getting the latest versions working on MacOS (used for watch-wallets and to broadcast offline signed transactions). None of the pre-compiled OSX versions would work with the two Mac High Sierra versions I had locally - 10.12.6 and 10.13.2.

Interesting. It compiles and runs just fine on my 10.13 machine and my VMs. If you have your logs or can recreate this, would you mind opening an issue on GitHub so that I can try to figure out what's going on? I've heard a couple of other people complain. The first guy wasn't really helpful but the second was more sane and saying similar things.

BTW, you don't need the complete Xcode suite. You just need the command line tools. This updated build guide is worth checking if you haven't already.

Thanks!

Meant to report back on this.
I think Armory is hanging when starting the db process with with popen.

Also verified that there is no need to delete the above two dlls.
To get RC2 running under windows 10, only need to run armorydb separately from the command prompt with the switches in the install-dir armoryqt.exe.log, and then run armoryqt RC2.

Quote
Thanks for figuring it out, I'll look into it.

Simple batch file to run Armory on Windows with a single click until the splashscreen hang is resolved. Save below lines to StartArmory.bat:
Code:
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\"
start ArmoryDB.exe --db-type=DB_FULL --cookie --satoshi-datadir=f:\bitcoin --datadir=f:\armory --dbdir=f:\armory
start ArmoryQt.exe --datadir=f:\armory
exit

Edit paths to your bitcoin data dir, Armory data dir, Armory Db dir

Just a quick note to say i've had success with 0.96.4 RC2 on multiple platforms.

Compiled from source with armory_0.96.3.991_src.tar.gz on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS. Installed onto a clean machine with a full and updated Core node behind it.

Installed from pre-package armory_0.96.3.991-gcc4.7_amd64.deb on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. An install onto a persistent USB over the top of the existing 0.95.1. Wallet conversion successful - running Offline, no Core database. Created some new Segwit addresses.

Historically I had been unable to move past 0.95.1 on MacOS (for TX Broadcast) and kept my offline signers at 0.95.1 to match. I used a standalone copy of Bitcoin-ABC / 0.96.1 to securely claim BCH back in August.

I wanted to create some Segwit addresses to transfer the main BTC holdings. I made various attempts at getting the latest versions working on MacOS (used for watch-wallets and to broadcast offline signed transactions). None of the pre-compiled OSX versions would work with the two Mac High Sierra versions I had locally - 10.12.6 and 10.13.2.

I tried rolling my own version on Mac without initial success.
Eventually it came down to uninstalling Xcode 8 completely, removing the brew installed python and then installing Xcode 7.3.1 from the Apple Developer Site, Python 2.7.14 from python.org. Downloaded armory_0.96.3.991_src and compiled the osxbuild, running smoothly and synced to a full Core node.

Happy to offer logs or advice to anyone else needing a hand with setup/compiling.
Probably about time I offer my thanks to goatpig and droark for continued work on the project (I've been using it since 2014!).



Maybe consider contributing to this PR, if anything, testing the new OSX build setup (once it congeals):

sure enough, spoke too soon.  CoinControl freezing problem still prominent.  seems to always occur after first use.  ccDLGeometry keeps coming back too after deletion.

What are the values in that field when you have to delete them?

I think Armory is hanging when starting the db process with with popen.
Code:
2017-12-29 19:09:36 (WARNING) -- SDM.pyc:396 - Spawning DB with command: ./ArmoryDB.exe --db-type="DB_FULL" --cookie --satoshi-datadir="L:\BC\blocks" --datadir="C:\Users\PhoenixFire\AppData\Roaming\Armory\" --dbdir="L:\ArmoryBC\databases"

Logs stops there and no DB process starts at all.

That said, I can spawn ArmoryDB manually like so:
Code:
start ArmoryDB.exe --db-type=\"DB_FULL\" --cookie --satoshi-datadir=\"L:\BC\blocks\" --datadir=\"C:\Users\PhoenixFire\AppData\Roaming\Armory\\\" --dbdir=\"L:\ArmoryBC\databases\"
And then run ArmoryQt and everything works fine. "start" not required, just a preference.


Edit: Got it to create the log in the install dir:
Code:

(WARNING) SDM.pyc:396 - Spawning DB with command: ./ArmoryDB.exe --db-type="DB_FULL" --cookie --satoshi-datadir="L:\BC\blocks" --datadir="C:\Users\PhoenixFire\AppData\Roaming\Armory\" --dbdir="L:\ArmoryBC\databases"
Exception WindowsError: (6, 'The handle is invalid') in > ignored

Edit2: I can start Qt, let it hang, then start ArmoryDB manually. Qt then wakes up and loads the wallets just fine.

Strange... I've rolled back to RC1 for now which is still fine, so not the end of the world.
Did some digging, this could be relevant: https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil/issues/811 (I'm running Win7 so it shouldn't be the outdated OS side of the issue)
If I get desperate I'll try getting a Windows build env setup and giving that a whirl.

Have a happy new year, both of you! Smiley

Thanks, Goatpig. Grabbed the installer for Win64.

Got an error about write permissions for a log file in Armory's install dir, then ran as admin to allow that to work.
Got a fatal error at that point:

I do have a (new?) file named "psutil._psutil_windows.pyd" - no similar problem with RC1.

Interesting. I took a quick peek at the commits between RC1 & RC2. Nothing jumped out at me immediately; I can't imagine why importing psutil would cause problems. I have a Windows VM and will try to install the binary a little later.

Binaries:

https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases/tag/v0.96.3.991

Notes:
This is mostly fixes, notably:
   - All things RBF
   - Unsigned tx creation with a mix of P2SH and P2PKH outputs
   - Some lockbox signing issues

Also, the auto fee GUI has been updated to use the reworked estimatesmartfee method from Core 0.15. People using older nodes won't see that change.

Test away =D
