Block halving is coming.

I did try to verify it through command prompt as the administrator but it fails after verifying the installer with the signature even if I use the sha256sum.txt.asc or the above keys.

I also got this below I tried to verify it with the sha256sum.txt.asc from releases but got this error below

Code:

C:\Users\~snip~\Downloads\Programs\New folder>gpg --verify sha256sum.txt.asc armory_0.96.5_win64.exe
gpg: not a detached signature

edit:
Since the error above gpg not a detached signature I tried to edit the sha256sum.txt.asc and remove the hashes or the whole PGP signed message and save only the PGP signature and this is the result below.

Code:

C:\Users\Test1\Downloads\Programs\New folder>gpg --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 4922589A
gpg: key 8C5211764922589A: "goatpig (Offline signing key for Armory releases) " not changed

This is my offline signing key's fingerprint. The short hand fingerprints you are finding either show the last 2 or the last 4 hexit packets of the full fingerprint

This is the key itself, with some sigs added

I downloaded the version of Kleopatra that is in the tutorial on http://www.bitcoinarmory.com/tutorials/armory-basics/verify-download/

I adjust the settings, and then I input the signing key 4922589a
It tells me I seem to be looking for a fingerprint or key-id. And to add a prefix if my search does not yield any results.
Both options give me zero results.

In my previous reply, I also mentioned that Kleopatra yields zero result at my end.
Instead, I manually imported the one suggested in the tutorial but added "&op=index" at the end of the link for the link to work.

So, instead of keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?search=goatpig, it should be: keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?search=goatpig&op=index
Then, click on "8c5211764922589a", copy everything on the page from "-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----" to "-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----".

Open Kleopatra, click on "Notepad", paste the text there and click "Import Notepad".
After that, certify that the one you're importing is correct; e.g.: ask goatpig himself if the fingerprint (below) is correct.
Lastly, tick the checkboxes and finish the rest of the process.

You should really use GPG from the terminal instead of a GUI solution. The signature process for Armory is the same as Core: save the sha256sum for each package to a text file, then sign that file. Therefor to verify the package, you have to do things:

- Check the packages sha256sum matches the one in the hash file (for the same name). This is as simple as running `sha256sum *package filename*` in the terminal/powershell and comparing with the entry in the hash file for the same file name.

- Check the signature on the hash file is valid. For you can run `gpg verify *hash filename*`. If you have public key in your keystore, it should tell you the sig is valid.

Hi all,

Thanks for the help so far, but I must be incredibly dumb.
I can’t get it to work, and I can’t move forward and copy this install file on my airgapped computer without me knowing it is 100% legit.

I downloaded the version of Kleopatra that is in the tutorial on http://www.bitcoinarmory.com/tutorials/armory-basics/verify-download/

I adjust the settings, and then I input the signing key 4922589a

I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I also tried to verify it with Kleopatra it seems it didn't work.

Anyway, have you checked the last part of the video from that guide you can verify if the software is genuine by creating checksums it will generate a new file with the name sha256sum.txt open it with notepad.

Now download the sha256sum.txt.asc from the link posted by goatpig above and open it again with a notepad it should show the list of hash and the pgp signature under the Signed message or Sha256 hash check the installer hash and compare it with the hash that you created recently under sha256sum.txt.
It should be the same if not then the installer you download is fake or clone.

Question: how do I check the integrity of the Armory 0.96.5 download on my computer?

I can't seem to get a result with Kleopatra's server lookup either.
In the latest version of the website (btcarmory.com/docs/verify), the link to the signing key seems dead, to make it work, just add &op=index at the end of the link's url.
Then import goatpig's signing key from the result: 8c5211764922589a

Then do the rest of the tutorial.

Hi all,

I downloaded armory 0.96.5. I wanted to check the integrity of the downloaded file, but for that I need to use GPG4win.
The instruction video to check the integrity of the download on the armory website is from 2014 I believe.
It says I need an offline signing key. I believe that is 4922589A. However, if I input that into GPG4win it doesn’t find anything. So I am stuck, not even mentioning the fact that this method might be completely outdated.

Question: how do I check the integrity of the Armory 0.96.5 download on my computer?
Thanks in advance.

0.96.5 won't be able to spend to native taproot addresses. I'm working to add full support for that address format among other things.

Hi guys,

Is there any foreseeable problems with usage of Armory 0.96.5 and the incoming Taproot soft-fork?

Thx

-snip- And just for further info: Is any bitcoin core client able to send to a bc1 address?

Almost all "Bitcoin clients" including Armory can now send to bech32 addresses, only those that aren't maintained or oppose the soft-fork can't.
You can customize this list: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet?step=5&platform=linux (link set to linux);
then click a wallet name to see if it has "✓SEGWIT" which means it supports SegWit; additionally, "✓BECH32" if it can generate bc1 addresses.

You can send to bech32 addresses (bc1) in 0.96.5. What you cannot do is generate these addresses from Armory wallets.

A bit offtopic question, but I don't know where to ask. Can I send BTC to a native SegWit bc1 address using Armory 0.96.5 + Core 0.19.1? And just for further info: Is any bitcoin core client able to send to a bc1 address?
Thanks!

It seems the current latest version of the armory doesn't support it yet but it might support on their armory 0.97 they don't release it yet.

Read this part

Break backwards compatibility for unsigned transactions carrying bech32 outputs. Older versions cannot make sense of bech32 addresses, therefore they shouldn’t be able to sign the transaction at all.
Fixed

Look at their release note here https://btcarmory.com/0.96.5-release/

Armory does not fully support bech32 but they support segwit address that starts with 3 or with script type: p2sh-p2wpkh

If you want a wallet that fully supports segwit I would suggest you check Electrum wallet or wait for a new armory release.

One annoying detail as a result of goatpig's Armory forking from etothepi's version is that the new, forked Armory can't be searched on Github because it has less stars (401) than the parent repo (677). This causes Github not to index the fork and as a result you can only search for code & issues on the old outdated parent.

[I could just clone it and search offline but it's not as good as on Github]

It was inconvenient to the point where I cloned and uploaded my own copy just to enable this feature, though I apparently pushed a really out of date version from 2018.

So if you're reading this and you have etithepi's repo starred, unstar it, and star goatpig's Armory I guess, so that Github will finally index it for searching.

Will this new version recognize more than 447,219 blocks?

The current version (0.96.5) works perfectly fine and syncs all the way up to the current block height:

If you are having issues with Armory 0.96.5 and it is only syncing up to 447219, then there is something wrong with your setup... either Bitcoin Core hasn't actually synced past that block (out of diskspace etc) so the data isn't available for Armory to scan or it could be that you have corrupted blockchain data and it is causing Armory to crash.

If you'd like assistance getting your Armory synced up properly, then I would suggest that you start a new thread, describe your issue as best as you can and make sure that you post your armory logs (ie. armorylog.txt and dblog.txt) to https://pastebin.com/ and copy/paste the generated pastebin links in your thread.
