I sorted this out by completely reinstalling my blockchain and reinstalling armory after deleting all the database folders. It's now synced.

That should do the trick, otherwise read this guide.

You will have to delete your databases folder first though.

Yeah, it should be looking for them in my c:\Bitcoin folder due to it being my large storage drive and not having enough space on my OS drive to store the blockchain.

Under file > settings > Bitcoin home Dir: I have it pointing at c:\Bitcoin. Do I need to do anything else?

I'll take a quick snapshot of my client:

Thanks for the prompt reply, sorry If I'm just missing something silly

It's looking for blocks in this folder, where is did Core download blockchain data to? Chances are, somewhere else.

Hi, new to this. I installed Bitcoin core and downloaded the blockchain fully. When I start up Armory and put in my wallet information it works and says "Connected" in the bottom right, but puts the blocks at 52017 which is vastly different to the 499467 blocks on the bitcoin core.

I've tried deleting the database for Armory but it still shows the exact same block count in Armory after a restart. I also tried creating a brand new database for armory on another drive, and pointed Armory toward it. When I click "Rebuild and Rescan databases" it either has no effect, or when I restart Armory, the block count in the bottom right changes to a simple "Offline" message.

I know this might be simple and I'm missing something stupid, but after going through a few videos and the FAQ I simply cannot find a solution to my problem.

That is my log.

I'm not sure if this is an Armory problem or a corrupted blockchain at this point. The only time I've gotten my Bitcoin to show up is when I run "ArmoryDB.exe" along side "ArmoryQT.exe" in which case it still shows an incorrect block count, but only slightly incorrect. This would be fine, but I get a generic windows error when I try to send the bitcoin to another address.

Sorry for the absurdity of my issue
