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

Hello,

I keep having this error message with Armory DB

https://pastebin.com/9SM0eZNg

Any solution please!
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 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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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
Code:
addnode 129.2.207.18 add
then hit enter. If it works, you should see that you now have one connection.
Still no coonection. On an other laptop it works

It looks like Bitcoin Core is not fully synced. You have no connections

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.?

Just writing some code
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.

Delete your databases folder. Run ArmoryDB with --db-type=DB_BARE. Don't have time to elaborate, leaving for the day.
That`s the result   What did I wrong?

I followed these advices
Quote
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
.

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.

Armory is now running offline,as the task-Manager indicates.Can I shut down now Armory and start again  in online mode?

Do I have to do the commandpromt again,the way ,you,archow 101 told me,before I start Armory online?

The cd means change directory. It tells the command prompt to go to that folder.

Instead of doing the cd command, open up the file explorer and go to wherever you have armory installed. Then click on an empty spot in the file explorer and hold Shift then right click. Choose the option "Open a command window here". Then type the second command with ArmoryDB.

When I type in

ArmoryDB.exe --thread-count=1

the command prompt line shows me always C:\Users\Thomas> and when I execute these command,it says ...file cannot be found...

becasuse the command line starts with C:\Users\Thomas>
and not empty or at least C:

What does the cd before C:\Program Files(86).... mean?
or how can I give the laptop the right way,where armory and Armory DB.exe ist installed.

you said some posts before:

Next, start BitcoinQt, let it catch up

Does that mean,if this is done, I can shut down BitcoinQt because Armory in online will shutdown BircoinQt and run bicoind in the backgrund?

Looks like your last block data file is damaged.

First, shutdown Armory. Make sure ArmoryDB.exe is not running. If it is, terminate the process.

Next, open the command prompt, type in these commands:

Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\

ArmoryDB.exe --thread-count=1

Last, start ArmoryQt. Then, post log files again.


how do I open the command propmt
Do I have to type the exact text you wrote

Your database and blockchain data look fine so far.

Start ArmoryQt in offline mode, in Files -> Settings, turn off auto bitcoind management (the first checkbox), then shut it down.

Next, start BitcoinQt, let it catch up. Then start ArmoryQt in online mode.

From December 07, 2016, 03:03:36 PM )I startet lightest version of facory rest and run Armory untis abur 10 PM,was tired and wenr to bed.

So I decided to make a factory reset (the lighest option)

That's the most extreme option...

You should refrain from trying to fix a problem you do not understand. If run into a roadblock, the best thing to do is to post your log files here and wait for a response.
well,I got your message.
But I was so happy,Armory started to build databases
anyway I hope the factory reset will work.

Somehow I managed to get a watch-only copy installed in Armory.I have no offline option of armory at my laptop-programms.
While building databases  I got suddenly the notification (this happened already sometimes before) ArmoryQt does not work.
So I decided to make a factory reset (the lighest option) and now I am waiting for the result
I will report .

Hi goatpig,
I have to apologize for the links,but the armorylog got 88.556KB,so I could not pastebin all together.

But as I now realise(checking the links) they are all more than simular,they are factually equal.

Please post armorylog.txt and dbLog.txt. Is your harddrive running out of free space?

Hi goatpig,
are there any interferences with ArmoryQt,bitcoind and Armory DB and securitysoftware like Windows Defender or Avira Pro with their real-time scanning?(Firewall is allowing the apps)

Because sometimes I miss some blockfiles as you can see here:

A few years ago someone pushed some data in a signature that was flagged by some anti virus software. This resulted in some block data files getting quarantined. The issue has since then be reported as a false positive and you should not experience it anymore. You can verify yourself if your block files are sequential.

As for the block building report, that output is not meant to be exhaustive. It will only report when the first thread (among many) parses a block file, hence the gaps in the logs.
