Armory Version 0.93.2
Bitcoind version 0.11.0 Running UNMANAGED by Armory
Builds: both x64
OS: Windows 7 x64 SP1 + all recent updates

Internet was down for a whole day and when it picked up again, bitcoind began quickly catching up with the network again, at first Armory ate the new blocks just fine but then it threw a "missing headers" error. When I restarted it rescanned the entire history, then there were no more issues.

The only thing I have in the log is this:

Code:

11:16 is when it crashed, 11:30 is when I came back to the PC to notice the crash and restarted it.

Hello. Is thread 0 the one that actually crashed? It could be a different one. The crash report will always say which one it is.

Thanks for the response. I build the Bitcoin BD again but I still have the problem. I can not use Armory at all - while starting it always crashes.

It seems that you are and the problem is related to QT:

Yes, I do use the sleep function often - basically always, I never shut my mac down. But i also started to restart it, start BitcoinQt, start Amory -> same problem.

My armory breaks down every time I start it. Or better: as soon as it is connected to BitcoinQT (while organziing blockchain). I have the latest version of BitcoinQT and Armory. It was everything ok for weeks. But today it happend EVERY time (I tired at least 10 times, reboot, ...) I have a mac.

Any hint what I should do? Rebuilt blockchain? Reinstall Armory?

I use Armory on my Mac often and very rarely see crashes. I've heard some people are still having performance issues. My theory is that Qt (an underlying library) just doesn't play nice with some Macs due to threading issues. I've been trying to make some noise and get this investigated. If anybody would like to help me out, please upvote this bug. The patch I posted there doesn't fix everything but it does fix a lot of issues. Maybe drawing more attention to it will lead to more long-term fixes.

*jumps off soapbox* Anyway, regarding this crash, if it happens again, look for the following bits of info.

The crashed thread will test you which trace to post, which is the gobbledygook at the bottom of my quote. I'm guessing it'll be a Qt issue but I could be wrong.

Also, just curious, do you put your Mac to sleep often? I do get the odd crash on Yosemite after I've put my Mac to sleep something like 12-15 times, along with other odd behavior. Some of it might be Armory - I'm investigating right now - and some of it is almost certainly Qt (or Yosemite causing Qt to freak out).

Yes.

It goes something like this:
- anything fishy in your bitcoin.conf?
- is the port forwarded so external nodes can reach your bitcoind?
- any packetfilter/firewall/antivirus in between?

Check that with https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/, there's a test in the lower area.

Hire a wretchedly expensive consultant who knows what they are doing. Maybe someone who is knowledgeable about bitcoin and gets paid insane amounts of money for endorsing bleeding-edge cryptographic hashing equipment and algorithms.

Yes no problem at all.

i'm on win 7 64bit. all is working well including the offline wallet.

I tried to update my offline Armory 0.92.3 with "armory_0.93.2_winAll.exe" (32- and 64-bit) but Bitcoin Armory Setup is telling me "You cannot install this version on a 32-bit sytem". Why?


Software function libraries. 93.x relies on different software libraries to versions <= 92.3, and those new libraries cannot operate with 32-bit CPU's for technical reasons. Goatpig has previously mentioned that version 0.94 could have 32-bit compatibility restored, and there's a bigger difference between the benefits of 0.94 and the benefits of 0.93 IMO (faster sync, smaller databases on disk etc).

Thank you.

Okay I am a newbie when it comes to armory.

 I have a pc with an intel 4570t cpu

2 sticks of 8gb ram

a 250 gb samsung ssd


it is a new build from old parts.

it has windows 7 ultimate 64 not 32

So what armory is best to load to this.

92 ?

and where is the link? on the site below


https://bitcoinarmory.com/


so I have been looking at the site a bit.  and I want the windows 7 pc mentioned above to be the offline pc.

I can use a second windows 7 pc as a partner online pc….  it has windows 7 home  as the os.  I also have a mac mini with 10.10.3 os  could this works as the online pc with the windows 7 offline pc?

It's overkill, Phil Grin.  A netbook is perfect for an offline Armory; small, very portable and easy to hide.

There are ways to make pruned Core nodes work with Armory but that's not an item on the list at the moment, so no point speculating.

nope. if you'd like to sweep coins from a privkey, your fsck'd.
As I understand it, a pruned node still has the UTXO set (this is the database of unspent transactions, keyed by txid, that is necessary for knowing if tx's that come across the client are valid and should be relayed or not). Assuming Armory is written to support it (not yet, I'm sure, but it could be), you can still sweep/import a private key, and receive and spend bitcoins. The biggest difference is that you won't be able to know the history of old, already-spent transactions. Also, this might be an issue as Armory may have a harder time figuring out how many addresses to generate from your wallet, if it doesn't know that the first e.g. 150 addresses are already used and spent from.

Well yeah, that's an inherent problem with pruning.

Having said that, Armory builds up its own database, so if that is enabled, it could still be ok.  Though, that defeats a lot of the benefit of pruning.

Anyone tried yet is Armory compatible with the 0.11 core with pruned blockchain?

Do they claim it works?  In theory, it might work.

You would have to sync first with pruning disabled and then run Armory until it is up to date.

After that pruning should be OK, unless Armory falls far enough behind.
