In Armory, a given wallet can create different paper backups (I mean, each paper backup has different set of 16 characters x two rows of character codes.) This is right ?

I ask this because after creating a first paper wallet, a few days later I wanted another copy but when creating another paper wallet for the same wallet, different codes came out.

No it should be the same afaik
The seed shouldn't change

Tks for the reply.
Yikes, I would swear that i did a test and a different paper backup came up. I will re-test and report here, thanks.

No, it's the

Code:

armory_0.90-beta_winAll

from this link: https://bitcoinarmory.com/download/

I'm downloading from a chromebook, if that matters

How do you get it from the chromebook to the hp?

Hope we can get a x64 version again, it did help with a 2 second wallet file that is now 4 seconds.

0.90 on Win8.0 64 bit (brand-new HP 2000 notebook) says "This app can't run on your PC". Any options or should I return it?

Did some searches but didn't find much

Thank you!

Is it one of those lightweight windows they put out for tablets?

I just pushed some changes to the 0.91-dev branch. Small changes in terms of code, big changes in terms of effect:

--I now save wallet histories after every block, not just on clean shutdown. It should not require rescanning except on loading new wallets
--I tweaked the DB optimizations, and it looks like I cut the scan times down to about 2/3 or 1/2 of what they were before.

Especially justusranvier: Checkout the "0.91-dev" branch and do a make clean and make. You must "--rebuild" the databases for the new scan speeds to be realized... it has to do with the way the DB is constructed, not the way it is read. And check that the crashes

I'm testing it now.

FYI: on Gentoo you don't need to tell us to "make clean and make." Our Portage build system checks out the source code to a clean temporary directory each and every time we compile.

On a related note, changing the name of the development branch makes keeping our ebuilds up to date particularly difficult. This kind of branching and tagging model would help us, and is probably a good idea in general: http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/

@armoryd users

I just updated armoryd.py along with the changes above. The history saving became a complete PITA since there is no way to do a clean shutdown with armoryd, and thus I was rescanning every time. Then I was able to upgrade all the logic in listtransactions and getledger which broke between 0.88.1 and 0.90. It seems to work now.

My next task is to improve performance with a large number of addresses. There's some very clear areas of improvement I missed and haven't gotten around to fixing.

I tried to reinstall with the 0.89 and 0.90 versions but no love.

Can you post any relevant errors in the log file? That "alert" is 0% useful for us... it looks the same no matter what went wrong. Can you also try going to your C:\Program Files (x86)\ folder and deleting the "Armory Bitcoin Client" folder? Then reinstall.

is it usefull for armory to run bitcoind with txindex=1 ?

Greets

mmh, no idea?

No, I believe txIndex=1 allows you to query arbitrary transactions from bitcoin-qt/bitcoind, but Armory doesn't use that. Armory only uses it for the raw blockchain files, and to forward transactions to the network. It doesn't matter whether Bitcoin-Qt indexes arbitrary transactions. Armory will create it's own tx index after scanning the raw blk*.dat files.

Is it possible to somehow get a list of 1,000 pre-generated addresses of an Armory wallet?
I know I can use the "Backup Individual Keys" function and then click "Include Unused" but this will give only about 100 pre-generated addresses.
Is there a way to extend this to a 1,000 addresses?

Start Armory in expert mode. Select a wallet and go into properties, then click the number in front of "Addresses used"

Wow, this is just what I needed – thanks a lot! Some great features are very well hidden in Armory ...

I believe you can pass the --keypool=## option to Armory, but I've not tested if that will increase the amount when you print a backup.
