I currently have 1 active connection to the bitcoin network. That happened after I dropped my personal firewall.
Is there a way to enter IP addresses for bitcoin nodes into the bitcoin.conf file?

It reached block 524491 previously. I started re-indexing headers about 3 weeks ago. After that, it stopped at a lower percentage, but both values were still displayed in the dialog box.
These two lines were the current status:
The re-indexing process stopped at 53.29%

They were displayed below the block 524491 entry. At the moment, I am updating Windows, having run performance tuning on the system. Windows performance was extremely sluggish.

Something odd going on with your Bitcoin Core...
It got as far as getting the new block at 524491, and then just stopped getting new blocks...
Are you actually connected? What is the networkactive value and how many connections do you see if you do:
Or look at the "Window -> Information" screen in Bitcoin Core GUI?

bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo

Could the issue be caused by an intermittent failure in the Internet connection? No new blocks are available?
The only things I can think of that would cause this are:
1. Corrupt data on disk... the easiest (but "longest") fix is to simply delete all the bitcoin core block data and start syncing from scratch again.
2. Out of hard disk space... Bitcoin Core will simply stop syncing if it runs out of harddrive space.
3. Some sort of hardware issue causing data corruption.
So, do you actually have enough free space on the disk for the blockchain? It's well over 350+gigs on total storage now...
What do you see at the end of the debug.log file when Bitcoin Core stops syncing? Any obvious errors? It would be helpful if you posted the last couple of hundred of lines from debug.log (use pastebin.com to avoid post length limits)

It still lists the same values at the top: Syncing Headers (524490, 79.5%)
Which way to go on this? Delete db files and rebuild the database in bitcoin core? It took over 3 weeks to get to the stopping point re-indexing headers.

I think it's caused by the reindex option... What it is currently doing is going through what you currently have stored on disk (this is why you see progress changing as it reindexs the blocks on disk)... once it finishes that process, it'll then start looking for new blocks after 524490 (at which point the "syncing headers" values should change).
I am reindexing bitcoin core from command line on Windows 10.0. Bitcoin Core 0.20.1
The counters are incrementing on lines 2 - 4, but they are static on line 1 of the overview tab.
Number of blocks left: Unknown. Syncing Headers (524490, 79.5%)...
The lines containing date and time, progress, and progress increase per hour are all incrementing or changing.
Is the syncing continuing, or do I need to stop this process and try something else?

What happened to the website? https://btcarmory.com/ down? Git repo has no updates in years?
I'm expanding https://WalletScrutiny.com to Linux wallets and in terms of binary distribution this would be a "defunct" wallet?

Owned by the former maintainers. I use my repo (goatpig/BitcoinArmory on github). It has a gh-pages branch for btcarmory.com in there. You can look at development in the dev branch. Master only receives signed tags for releases.

I have an old machine which is still running 0.92! It runs on my dad's computer so I quite literally haven't toucehd it in years. Still has a fraction of a BTC on it too!

Can you give some update and background infos about it?
Sometimes this summer. New wallet code is done, migration to LWS + socket encryption is done. Main blocker atm is the migration from p2/qt4 to py3/qt5. Then I need some extra work for the BIP32 wallet GUI. I do have a day job though.
I also wish we can see an update to Armory sooner or later. I've been sticking with this wallet since I started dealing BTC in early 2013. It would be nice to continue using it on the long term.
Armory 0.97: Is this project still being worked on? In this topics first post the eta is Q2 '19.

The installation of python2 is very simple: sudo apt-get install python2, but Pyqt4 is not available as package for 20.04. VM is the last resort.
There typically are archive servers with older packages that let you grab no longer supported libs like this. You could also install it from pip, though I believe a Ubuntu 19 VM is the better solution.
Python isn't exactly a library, though it the interpreter can be loaded as one, but I digress. Yes, it's possible to freeze Armory on linux. But considering the cost to do so, you're better off running an older version (in a VM), or installing py2 on you Ubuntu 20 system.

There will be a release sometimes this summer with a bunch of new stuff and a port to py3/qt5 which will fix a lot of compatibility stuff with modern OS.
Very good news!!

Ubuntu 20.04 has issues installing.
Missing dependencies python-qt4, python-twisted, python-psutil

Ubuntu 20 got rid of py2 I believe.

computer science solved this problem 40-50 years ago: the static binary (bitcoin itself is a static binary, all needed libraries by bitcoind/bitcoin-qt are packaged into the executable file)
To be fair, the only stuff Armory doesn't link to statically beside the C lib is Qt.
Is it possible to have a release of Armory (executable file) that works on ubuntu 20.04?
With all needed libraries statically linked?
Ubuntu 20 got rid of py2 I believe.
