Try clicking on the network icon in the lower right corner of Bitcoin Core, that will make it disconnect from all peers. Then click again to reconnect. Sometimes you get connected to eight leeching nodes that will not pass any data to your node. Sad

I have seen a crash of Bitcoin Core when i started it again manually, the debug.log said there is an issue with the latest block file, so i delete only this file and restarted Bitcoincore.
Now it need !3 years! to sync the headers? Huh

Thank you.
I see this error:

-INFO - 18:26:39.718: (..\BitcoinP2P.cpp:947) Connected to Bitcoin node
-ERROR - 18:26:40.828: (..\BitcoinP2P.cpp:1037) caught StopBlockingLoop in processDataStackThread
-INFO - 18:26:40.828: (..\BitcoinP2P.cpp:969) Disconnected from Bitcoin node

How can I fix it?

I think I have exactly similar issues, but i am "new" to all this and don't know from where to get the logs.
I moved because disk running mostly full all the bitcoind-data to Path "Z:\Documents\Bitcoin-Data\Bitcoin". I have also configured this in Armory in Bitcoin homedir. But it always showed "Node offline".
I have updated Armory to 0.96.1.beta and also bitcoin core to 0.14.2 but nothing better.
Then I have started bitcoin core manually (without running Armoray and it took weeks to sync the blocks)
After all done i opened Armory again and it was Connected, but after 1 day it went to "Node offline" again (also restart Armory does not help). I don't have BCC application on same PC.

How can I fix this issues please?

thx.

Your logs are located here, C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Armory

I deleted and downloaded the Bitcoin blockchain again and now everything seems to work, Armory is connected and seeing new blocks.

Yes I did, should I try to put Armory and Bitcoin into the D: root directory?

No, that's irrelevant, just double checking.

It's an either or thing kinda, you either use the shortcut cli option or the .conf. The cli option overrides the .confs.

At any rate, this pathing is very odd, did you create that folder manually?

Code:

D:\AppData\Roaming\

Hi goatpig,

I've done the following,

Set the target in the Bitcoin Armory shortcut to this,
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe" --satoshi-datadir="D:\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\blocks" --dbdir="D:\AppData\Roaming\Armory\databases"

Made a armoryqt.conf and armorydb.conf file and put it in D:\AppData\Roaming\Armory with the following args
satoshi-datadir="D:\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\blocks"
dbdir="D:\AppData\Roaming\Armory\databases"

Is that all that is needed for custom paths?

Hi,

I have the blocks stored on a D: drive using symbolic links with the C:\Users\*****\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin pointing to D:\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin

Tried not using symbolic links with Bitcoin and Armory by specifying the path to D:\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin and D:\AppData\Roaming\Armory but it still doesn't work.

Also tried using an external drive to store the Bitcoin chain and Armory database files but same issues persists.

Now it's using "C:\Users\*****\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\blocks" as your satoshi-datadir... it would appear that your "Bitcoin Home Dir" is not set correctly in Armory...

What's interesting is that it found blocks on C: Huh

Is that where the BitcoinUnlimitedCash blocks were stored?

Yes, didn't move my wallets back yet after I deleted the Armory folder. Want me to add the wallets back and post the log files?

Have a wallet in there, if even just a dummy you just created, and try again.

Are you running the client with no wallets loaded?

Hi goatpig,

The bitcoin node is writing to the following directory,

D:\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin which I've set in Armory under Bitcoin Home Dir and also tried setting it in the Armory shortcut "C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe" --satoshi-datadir="D:\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin"

I copied the blockchain before the fork and then ran Bitcoin Unlimited Cash to get it all up to date, so does this mean I just need to wait a month or so until Armory starts seeing new blocks?

Thanks.

DB is seeing the right folder:

Quote

-INFO - 21:00:17.000: (..\BlockUtils.cpp:915) blkfile dir: D:\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\blocks

I suggest you wipe your DB and start from scratch. Also delete your logs before that and post the fresh logs.
