I just upgraded Bitcoin Core and Armory. Here are the notes I made of my first experiences after the upgrade.
Windows 7 64bit
Updated Bitcoin Core from 0.14.0 to 0.14.1
Updated Armory from 0.95.1 to 0.96
Armory crashed every time after scanning.
Emptied %appdata%\Armory\databases , causing Armory to rebuild the database solved this problem.
btw: Amazing that this is the only piece of software that manages to fully use my 16 GB RAM while rebuilding the database. No problem for me.
Errormesage from tray-icon after starting Armory about the connection being lost to BitcoinCore while that is not really so.
I am running BitcoinCore continuously in the background, regardless of Armory running or not.
The CMD-window is still always visible.
Problem: Saving/Backing up a wallet unencrypted to a file does not work. "Save to File"
I want to use it to backup the private keys to another encrypted medium. CTRL-C and -V would work, but that is annoying after a while.
Compressed keys:
MultiBit Classis private keys are not accepted at Private Key Import: No valid private key data was entered.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14100768Wallet properties: Used addresses:
Addresses not visible. Unsure after which this happens.
Solved after restarting Armory.
Address Book: changed Comment, but it does not stick.
Or on the other hand: The comment for an address changed in the wallet does not display in the addressbook.
After doing one transaction, and restarting Armory:
Does not fully start.
Solved by restarting BitcoinCore before starting Armory.
