You need to re-download the bitcoin blockchain. Also,


I think that may be an issue later on. You'll need at least another 20 GB (Armory Db is 37 GB atm)

What should I do?

350k blocks on 16GB? That's completely off.

Delete armorylog.txt and armorycpplog.txt, then load Armory with Bitcoin-qt running to repeat the crash. You'll get a new copy of the 2 log files, send them to Armory support or post them up here.

When I try this my armory will crash as soon as it gets to organizing blockchain..I wonder if my blockchain structure is not damaged or something..my bitcoin-qt is running ok...I just seem to have troubles with armory.

Well at first I'd like to at least get armory working. Whole yday it was building database and didn't move of 0%. Something is not right.

You can, technically, use both the bitcoin-qt wallet and the Armory wallet on the same machine.
You can not use/install Armory only by itself without having bitcoin-qt (aka bitcoin-core aka bitcoin-cli) installed, running and synced on the same machine.

Ente

Haven't tried, so I can't help there. Longer than a half hour, which is what it takes on a typical SSD


It's recommended against doing that for now. It genuinely does work better, or at least it solves some of the initialization issues some people had. Most likely be fixed once the Db work is totally done, or possibly alongside, it depends on the priorities of the Armory team I guess.

How slow do you reckon? I don't mind letting it run as long as it will happen eventually. I'd rather used armory as solo client instead of silmunateously with bitcoin-qt.

It's slow on mechanical disks.

Another recommendation is to change Armory settings so that "Manage Bitcoin" is turned off, not on. Quit Armory. Next, start up Bitcoin Qt, and then start up Armory only when Bitcoin Qt is synchronized (with the new Armory settings, bitcoin qt and Armory run simultaneously).

Well I don't have the data folder in app data as my SSD system drive is quite small so I have it on E:\ProgramFiles\BitData

Armory now moved to Buiding Database. So far 0%, but I give it some time.

Pointing the main folder of %AppData%\Bitcoin and pointing to the Bitcoin core installation(usually C:\Program Files\Bitcoin) will work.

Where exactly should I point armory to look for blockchain? I used to have it to main folder, but that did not work now I'm pointing here \BitData\blocks\index and it at least does something. But right now its on initializing bitcoin engine for about 30 minutes already.

Yes, but not exclusively with 0.10.x, version 0.9.x is still properly supported

Isn't latest Armory version* meant to work with new DB? Does it still work with old DB(Core <0.10)?

P.S. * Version 0.93.x

I'm using windows and yes I had 0.93 version.

Depends how old. I think version 0.9 upwards should be no problem with Armory version 0.93.x (possibly earlier versions too, all I know is that 0.9 will have been well tested). Seems like a lot of Windows users had a similar problem to yours with version 0.93, are you using Windows?

Just noticed I'm still using old bitcoins-qt. Will update it and try again. Thanks!

You are using Bitcoin Core 0.10, right? If no, upgrade it and try rebuilding database.
