why 0.96.0.1-testing but not just 0.96? I do not like the word testing.

0.96 has some weirdness that has been fixed for 0.96.1 but 0.96.1 is still in the testing phase.

And one more Q. Is it mandatory for me to migrate or I can continue to enjoy bitcoin with 0.93.3 ?

You can still use Bitcoin with 0.93.3. However you will be missing all of the improvements to the database, performance, coin selection, fee control, etc. that have been made since.

Does it mean that that DB in v > 0.93.3 is much smaller in size? 0.93.3 runs very smoothly for me but its DB is very huge/

hi,

I am still using 0.93.3 version for both online and offline wallets of Armory in conjuction with bitcoin core 0.11.2 and would appreciate any recomendations for smooth migration from 0.93.3 to 0.96 on Win 10 machine

On you online machine, upgrade to Bitcoin Core 0.14.1 and Armory 0.96.0.1-testing. To install, just download and run the installers, you don't need to do anything else. Once both are installed, go to the Armory datadir and delete the folder named databases. Your offline machine does not need to be upgraded as long as you only use the p2pkh address type.

Build 0.96.1 and try again.

All the same segfault with v0.96.0.1-testing.

Ente

You mean the invalid instruction issue?

It still does the same instant segfault crashing when trying to load the GUI (apparently), like in v0.96.
I don't know about "invalig instruction", I never saw any logentries or the like considering the segfault.
To me, it looks like the same (crashing) behavior as before.

I didn't upgrade the remote ArmoryDB though, only the local ArmoryQT.

Why is it empty? Do you not run your node against that folder?

I did not! That was the issue the whole time. Thanks for help!

I'll try to give more details:

- I empty the entire .armory folder
- I copy that old 01.wallet
- I start Armory
- a "mirroring" popup shows for some seconds , the following files are created:

Quote

01_backup.wallet
armory_2bXSMWfMy_wallet.lmdb
armory_2bXSMWfMy_wallet.lmdb-lock
armorycpplog.txt
armorylog.txt
ArmorySettings.txt
databases

- the licence agreement shows, I accept it
- a short flash of GUI is seen, file "multipliers" is created, new entries into armorylog (last one: "Dashboard switched to "Scanning" mode")
- segfault with no entries into any logfiles or on the terminal that I can see

My Armory is pulled from Git, checkout v0.96, regular installation procedure with no edits to any files.
Started with regular

Quote

python ArmoryQt.py --armorydb-ip=192.168.1.1 --armorydb-port=9001

And as I hinted, if this is a local problem here on my side, I don't even need this fixed.

I hope anything is of help here?

I put into the 'Bitcoin Home Dir' field the location of another Bitcoin installation on an external drive (HD).

So you have 2 copies of the chain to begin with?

It's on an external drive that can be plugged into other computers. I don't run multiple instances of Bitcoin Core at the same time.
I don't see it having anything to do with the problem I had.

Oh damn! I looked at the shortcut for my original installation of Bitcoin Core and I see that I have pointed it to yet another chain (my C: drive was getting full ).
When I point armory there everything works with that installation now as well...

Sorry for wasting your time. Embarrassed

You're gonna to delete about 110 blkXXXXX.dat files worth of block data.

I tried something else...

I got into settings and turned on the option to let Armory run Bitcoin Core in the background.
I put into the 'Bitcoin Home Dir' field the location of another Bitcoin installation on an external drive (HD).
The default installation I have on my C: drive is a SSD drive.

I still run Bitcoin Core manually before starting Armory and everything starts normally it seems.
Everything is sync'd up to the latest block. That missing tx shows now with the correct number of confirmations.
It looks like Armory is continuing to stay in sync as more blocks come in.
It showed 466380 in the bottom right when I first started it and right now it shows 466381.

/edit: The only thing seemingly not normal is that when I shutdown Armory, ArmoryDB stays open and I need to shut it down manually.

Just a short simple question.

Would it be possible to make in 0.96.1 in wallet properties when I click on balances, comments, tx count or addresses and so it would order them (highest, alphabetical, etc)? It doesn't seem to work right now and i'm searching my ass off when i look for a particular address or balance.

Thank You for considering

Will think about it.

This folder exists, but it's empty

Why is it empty? Do you not run your node against that folder?

edit/ I mean shouldn't those blk...dat files be regenerated by bitcoin core?

They should have been. Let me look at dbLog.txt. Also, are you building the db with DB_BARE?

Where is your bitcoin datadir located?

I used:

Code:

%APPDATA%\Bitcoin

And received:
C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin
This folder exists, but it's empty
