Topic: Armory online / Node offline? (Read 994 times)
You should let Bitcoin Core sync by itself before starting Armory. That way you will actually know when you are synced as Armory doesn't really show that information.
I now understand that bitcoin-qt not automatically includes bitcoind and after installing that, armory looks more they way I remember from when I used it last. :-)
Now Armory says it's online and Connected. Fine.
But I'm quite sure that bitcoind's not yet downloaded the entire blockchain and the interface gives no visible to me feedback about when or if that's happened.
Am I supposed to run bitcoin-qt for that until download is up to date and go on from there?
Can I already savely use it for receiving bitcoins, even if the blockchain is not yet complete on my disk?
Sorry for sounding maybe dumb but 4 years ago or so the download was obviously quicker and didn't leave me with so much uncertainty for so long.

Hm,
seems I have to start bitcoin-qt separately in order to get Armory to show "Node online".
What's wrong with my setup?

Hello,
I set let Armory run Bitcoin Core/bitcoind in the background.
I set the Bitcoin Home Dir.
I run Armory 0.96 downloaded deb for gcc 5.3
bitcoin-qt from ppa
OS is KDE-Neon.
First I started bitcoin-qt separately to get the blockchain downloaded because Armory complained about the missing .bitcoin folder.
Today I didn't start bitcoin-qt separately and see now on the Dashboard that Armory is online and below on the right that Node is offline (399688 blocks).
Should I start bitcoin-qt separately again?
manmi
