I am having the same problem please help I am running windows 10 and armory version 0.96.4its stuck on db.

Confirm you are using the latest Bitcoin Core v0.17.1 and that you have updated to the latest version of Armory 0.96.5 from here: https://btcarmory.com/0.96.5-release/

If not, update first and try again.

If you have already updaed, please post your armory logs... you can do this with the "File -> Export Log File..." option in Armory... copy/paste the contents of the exported log file into http://pastebin.com then click the "create new paste" button... then post the unique URL generated by pastebin here.

Ok, then it is a simple "pathing" issue preventing Armory from finding the data it needs... by default, Armory will look in the "default" Bitcoin Core installation locations... on windows, this is "C:\Users\[YOURUSERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\block"

As you have instructed Bitcoin Core to store the blocks data in a custom location, you need to configure Armory to also use this custom location.

You will need to create an armoryqt.conf file and inside it you need to set "satoshi-datadir" to be the same as your Bitcoin Core datadir value:

Code: (armoryqt.conf)

satoshi-datadir="D:\Bitcoin Core"

You can read more detailed instructions regarding Armory "pathing" here: https://btcarmory.com/docs/pathing

Note that "armoryqt.conf" is just a simple text file and can be created with the text editor of your choice... but you need to ensure that it is named "armoryqt.conf" and not "armoryqt.conf.txt"... it should be created in your "C:\Users\[YOURUSERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Armory" directory.

If you cannot see the "AppData" folder, you will need to follow the instructions to "show hidden files/folders" here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14201/windows-show-hidden-files

I have Bitcoin Core installed and synced.

Did you install/configure Bitcoin Core to store the blocks in a non-standard location during the first run/setup?

If you run Bitcoin Core and look at the "Help -> Debug Window -> Information"... what is the value of "Datadir"? Huh

Admin is either the default or I named it like this years ago. The only other user it says is Public and Default.migrated . What needs to be done to have a blockchain? I have Bitcoin Core installed and synced.

Why is your user name admin to begin with? The point of the user folder is for the account to have read/write path for processes to maintain the files they need.

From the looks of it, your blockchain data is either not accessible or you don't have any.

I can't really give you instructions until I know what user you are logging in as.

Can you explain what I should do to remedy the problem? Coming from a person who isn't stupid but completely new to this. Thank you

You can run as admin but that's not recommended. Armory needs write access to the files and folders in your datadir besides the .conf files.

what files should I search for to link the two destinations? (And move them from the admin folder) Or can I just run as administrator and it will work?

Your user name is "Admin"? Chances are this is a permission issue, i.e. Armory cannot access this folder.

Does anyone else know?

If you rebuilt the DB, it's hard to say without seeing the logs.

By the way, you can post your logs here. There's no personal info in the logs, other than perhaps the file paths on your computer. You can always modify them if you're worried about that.

So I have updated to 96.5 but it has been stuck on preparing databases for the past 2 days now..?

Help -> Rebuild and Rescan Databases

That should do the trick.

I have Armory 0.96 installed. It says DB won't load and stays in offline mode even though my Bitcoin Core is done sync'ing. I have started an encrypted wallet, and nothing shows up up changes on the dashboard. Thanks for the help

Which version of Armory are you running and where did you download it from?

If you used: https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/ <-- THIS IS OLD AND OUTDATED! It likely won't sync up properly with newer versions of Bitcoin Core (versions from 0.15+)

You need to get Armory from: https://btcarmory.com/ and make sure you get the latest one (0.96.4) from there.

will I receive my bitcoins after Armory goes back online?

Yes. Just let it completely sync and your coins will show up.

Hey, I am completely new to this and downloaded Armoury just to use as a wallet and sent myself bitcoins before I downloaded Bitcoin core. Are my funds lost? Bitcoin core is fully downloaded and sync'd now, but Armory still has not connected or done anything. Can someone help me, and will I receive my bitcoins after Armory goes back online?
