Topic: Armory DB massages, what do they mean?Armory stops DB (Read 2754 times)

Possibly. Let bitcoin core finish syncing first before running armory.

Thanks for your reply. I have no intention to hijack the thread. I decided posting here since its still in the same line with Armory DB stop.
Bitcoin Core is still synchronizing. Could that be the reason for the error?

First of all, please do not hijack months old threads with your own issues. Make your own thread instead.

Your blockchain looks like it is corrupted. If you run just Bitcoin Core, does it sync properly and not give you any errors?

Hello,

I keep having this error message with Armory DB

https://pastebin.com/9SM0eZNg

Any solution please!

Laptops, due to their power saving features, are going to have a more difficult time with the Bitcoin Core software. Syncing the block chain will always take longer on a laptop when compared to a similar generation/tier desktop.

I, personally, would not allow hardware that has had Bitcoin private keys with any sizeable amount on them to be accessed by random, unknown individuals. Are you using an online/offline setup (which I would assume considering we are on the Armory sub-forum)? If the laptop has only had "watch only" wallets on it, you should be fine.

Hello Holliday,
there are always barriers of Language:
A laptop/PC expert speaks his own language,one not so tech-savvy wo`nt understand it fully
A patient will no clearly understand my diagnostic procedures,my treatment and even not the illness itself in regard of  its ramifications.

And because I am an retired physician(71 years old,but very bitcoin enthusiastic) I beg you all to write plain "step by step"

I will try your proposals,but for various reasons I think it is an underlying issue with my OS and/hardware.

I already contacted DELL-Support(again, but they could not resolve my problems all ). I am going to send the Laptop to the factory and let it thoroughly checked and repaired.

I thank you all guys for your patience with me,your help and your ideas.

Big appreciation from me.
I will report later.

I've been following this thread and it seems that there is a lot of difficulty communicating. Clearly there is a language barrier. Without clear communication, it is extremely difficult to get things accomplished.

Now, here is what I would do to simplify things and almost guarantee a working result.

1. Make sure you have backups of your wallet files.
2. Remove everything Bitcoin related on your PC. Uninstall Armory and Core and delete all associated folders entirely.
3. Install the latest version of Bitcoin Core and let it sync with the network. Forget about Armory until Bitcoin Core is functioning properly and has the most up to date block.
4. Install the latest version of Armory, start it and disable autobitcoind management. Shut it down, copy your wallet file to the appropriate location and then restart Armory and let it do it's thing.

(Extreme version: Prior to those steps, start with a fresh Windows install on your computer.)

If these simple steps do not work, then there is some underlying issue with your OS or hardware. If you are incapable of accomplishing these relatively simple steps or any of this seems confusing to you, read until it's no longer confusing. Perhaps try to find some youtube videos that explain how to get Core synced and running and then Armory running.

If none of that works, start armory in offline mode (unplug your internet if need be) and extract the private keys. Import those keys into a wallet which requires less technical know-how to use.

Finally, if you still can't figure out how to access your bitcoins, pay someone who understands this stuff to do it for you.

Bitcoin has a relatively high bar when it comes to user responsibility. The user is supposed to know how to use the software provided in order to protect and access his private keys. Many people use this software successfully, so when I see a thread where this level of difficulty is experienced, I have to think that there is some underlying issue that is preventing the user from accomplishing his goals.

all Armory and bitcoin Core related issues are permittted

a part of the core debugwindow-log
http://pastebin.com/TK1XNHVQ

could one give me more nodes for core-connectivity to put them in,as archow suggested??
When I destall bitcoinCore and install again,does that affect the whole Armory issue?

What does this mean? Any fix possible?rebuild and rescan databases??

If I am mannually open th Armory DB immediately pops up ArmroryQT is out of funktion and then Armory is shut up.
And Core has no Blocksource available.

You may have some firewall rules getting in the way then.

Still no coonection. On an other laptop it works

I don't know why it is not getting any connections. You can try connecting to my node. You can try connecting to my node. In that debug window, go to the Console tab and in the box at the bottom, type
then hit enter. If it works, you should see that you now have one connection.

does Core get synced,whe I let it run over the night?
Why do  I have no connections?
What do I have to do for getting connections.?

8 hours behind schedule


But armory runs with bitcoind in the background.My Wallet is consistent.
Do I have to rebuild and rescan the databases?

hia achow1ß1,

very sorry for the lot of logs.
I am not familiar how files 1 can past  

Down at the bottom is the last and original one

Hope enough Infos for diagnosis and help

Thanks very much

It looks like Bitcoin Core is not fully synced. You have no connections and the Armory logs seem to indicate that you may have a corrupted block. Can you please give me the debug.log file from Bitcoin Core? Go to Help > Debug Window and there is a button that says "Open" which will open the debug.log file.

That`s the result   What did I wrong?

Delete your databases folder. Run ArmoryDB with --db-type=DB_BARE. Don't have time to elaborate, leaving for the day.

I followed these advices

Iam still confused,because when I put in ArmoryDB.exe --thread-count=1 the notifation pops up,Armory stops and I had to start it again.
I thouhgt I had to insert it  ,when I saw the last line in th obove log. Then the above mentionend notification pops up.So I did not insert anything in the above last line.
But now the Armorysreen shows a green bar in the databasebuilding and now is in the scanning Transaction History mode.

Wille wait till tomorrow and report

Uncheck that box. Stop Armory. Close the command prompt with ArmoryDB.

Start Bitcoin Core. Let it run until it is fully synced. Once it is keep it running and repeat the steps I gave for running the ArmoryDB command in a command prompt. Then start Armory while both ArmoryDB and Bitcoin core are still running.
