No. That folder is where the Bitcoin application is installed to. By default, it will attempt to store it's data in the "AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin" directory.
However, if you specified a different folder when running Bitcoin Core for the first time, it will not be using that.

The quickest (and likely most foolproof) way to figure out where your Bitcoin Core data is to run Bitcoin Core manually... then in the "Window -> Information" window... check the "Datadir" value:



That will give you the exact location of where Bitcoin Core is storing it's block information. Also, given your previous debug, I suspect that you have "Pruning" enabled on your Bitcoin Core (check the "Settings -> Options -> Main" window)



If that "Prune" box is checked, you'll need to uncheck it... then shutdown and restart Bitcoin Core and then let it resync the entire blockchain (you will need 350+ gigs of free disk space to do this).


You would need to follow my tutorial here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.43255691

That will allow you to export the private keys and then you could import/sweep those private keys to a different wallet.

If you understand how to use the armory wallet you won't get any problem. If you are a newbie next time use only the lite version of wallet like Electrum.

Anyway, if you want to get the BTC from the armory the fastest way is to export the private key from your wallet and import it to any wallet like Electrum as a sample.
You can find the export under menu>wallet properties>backup this wallet you can follow this post below on how to export them.

The folder exxist, however Appdata is a hidden folder.

is C:\Program Files\Bitcoin "block data-adress"?


I bought BTC via Safello, they switched from Segwit to Taproot - is there any wallet I can download and send the $30-worth off BTC there instead? Armory seems to advanced for me.

This is where Armory is looking for your block data. According to your second post, this folder does not exist. According to your first post, you downloaded the blockchain over the course of 6-7 days. Armory needs access to that data, you need to tell it where to find it if it's not in the default location. It can't just guess that for you.


I've asked you for the location of your block data 3 times now, and I still haven't got an answer. Put yourself in my shoes.

I've just gave you the  information you asked me for, and you ask me more info? How does this work?

I'm looking for answers. This seems like a scam. I  hope I'm wrong.

Where is your blockchain data? Did you set a custom folder? Armory cannot find your block data in the default location. Without that, it cannot operate.

I don't understand why is so difficult to get a wallet online.

Found it, perhaps  windows search couln't since Appdata is a hidden folder. Anyway:

There is no other version, you've got the right one.


Then according to your screenshot, dbLog.txt should be in C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Roaming\Armory. Can you list the files in that folder?

Armory recommended me the beta. Any point of uninstall/reinstall? Non-beta?

I installed both Armory and BitcoinCore in recommended folders.

Yes, they have write-privilages.


Edit,
I have so bad conscience right now beeing suck a noob, wasting your time helping me.

Armory is beta software.


It's not looking for block data in the default location, which you said is not right. Where did you download the blockchain?


Does your user/Armory have permission to write in C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Roaming?

Printscreen,
http://www.bilddump.se/bilder/20210604105052-81.170.227.253.jpg
(It's a common swedish post-pic-page, no viruses or malwares)

I just scaned c: there are no dbLog.txt


Edit,
Has the fact that I've a beta-version installed? Any idea of uninstall and re-install a non-eta?

This is the line you get once the DB is ready. It can only enable ZC tracking after the initial setup. What's the top block in there? Again, posting logs/command line outputs would speed this up a lot.


Should be in the same folder as the .conf

I have ArmoryDB runnig, is it normal to get stuck at "Enabling zero-conf tracking" - or is it completed?

I can't find a dbLog.txt

I would indeed need to see the whole log in order to help with offline issue. For now it looks like you're trying to use a custom Core path. You need to try and start ArmoryDB manually (from the command line), but first set your custom path using the db config file:

I'm pretty sure goatpig will request for the full dbLog.txt and armorylog.txt later so you might have to post them sooner than later.
Those are usually large for a text file, so use https://pastebin.com/ to share the full logs.

I appreciate all the help I can get.

About to go to bed, I'll go through this thread tomorrow and try to help.

If there anything I can do? Please tell me.

(Also, there might be some economic-language-difficulties since english isn't my native language - but we swedes 'know english quite well but in branch specific - not always so well. I try though.

How about the parts of the log about the machine's specs, OS version and the set paths?
Those should be at the top of the log for the current session (check date/time).
Note: The log doesn't contain any info that'll compromise your security, but for your privacy you can exclude the username of the appdata directory.

About Bitcoin core, did you set a custom data directory or is it set to default?

I can't find the root of the issue in the log other than what's literally written.
Let's see what goatpig (Armory developer) and others can find with the current available info.
