Topic: Coins missing (Read 1444 times)
Just wanted to say that everything is working smoothly now. Thanks for help guys!
Well then your issue is 2 fold:
Your node tends to kick you out, and you don't have the RPC enabled.
Find your bitoin.conf file (create it if it's missing) in the Bitcoin datadir, and add these 2 lines in there:

Okay, did that. Now Armory is increasing the blocks as it goes. In BitcoinQT there is an instance of Armory, though it doesn't explicitely say ArmoryDB but I guess that's okay? The amount of blocks in Armory is still written in purple but the blocks are increasing.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Start BitcoinQt with -disablewallet. Then start Armory the usual way. Once you get a new block, check the peer tab on BitcoinQt, do you see an instance of ArmoryDB connected?
Okay, done. I disabled it and have Bitcoin Core running manually in the background. The "Connected" status in Armory is now in purple. Is this correct?
Edit: So Armory doesn't automatically update the amount of blocks when auto bitcoind turned off. Bitcoin Core is showing on more block than Armory.

Geeze, its finally there. Thank you so much for your help. Sorry for any inconveniences due to stupidity 
So, I turned off auto bitcoind, how do I proceed in the future? Just turn on Bitcoin Core before I start Armory? Or turn auto bitcoind back on, let it sync then turn off/restart again?
Cheers again for the help!
Edit: All good, I turned auto bitcond on again and everything seems to be fine now. Thanks guys, much appreciated!

Your autobitcoind does work atm as it doesn't know where to find bitcoind. You'd have to either give it the path your binary folder or disable it or you'll run into more issues.

Turn off auto bitcoind in Files > Settings and restart Armory.
Armory is stuck at scanning my balance (earlier posted screen, "Scanning 0%").
What's the issue exactly?
You can find a fresh log here: https://pastebin.com/M7KJh9fU
@HPC:
Correct, block count is now increasing. Just the scanning thing at the top seems to be stuck. Would a balance rescan help?

No, that doesn't affect the chain length.
Post a fresh log.

So the block count in Armory is increasing as new blocks are mined?
It's just the scanning thing at the top?

Thank you @HPC, but I think I have tried that before, but I ca't 100% recall doing so.
Bitcoin Core is catching up at the moment, so I'll try what you suggested as soon as it's done.
Edit: I've done everything and Armory seemed to be doing something. It's now showing "Scanning" at the top area where the wallets are shown. I checked last night before I went to bed and it was at 94%, so I decided to let it run overnight. This morning it was back at 0% (see screen below) and it hasn't done anything since. Armory has not stopped working the program works normally.
Should I just let it run for another while to come or should I do something else (i.e. restart it)? Thanks again.

Ok... in that case, set the Bitcoin install directory to "D:\Program Files\Bitcoin" (without the quotes).... and the datadir as "D:\Program Files\Bitcoin\Bitcoin" (again, with the quotes)... and tick the box that says "let Armory start Bitcoind in the background"...
Then make sure that Bitcoin Core is shutdown... and restart Armory.

Hi back. Sorry for the late reply, I was away for the weekend.
@HCP
I'm sorry, I have made a mistake. The data directory is located inside the Bitcoin installation "D:\Program Files\Bitcoin\Bitcoin"-directory. It contains all the files you mentioned. It's D:\ because C:\ is my OS SSD with only 256Gigs, so I installed it onto the bigger D:\ drive. The installation directory is "D:\Program Files\Bitcoin".
Could these locations may cause the problems?

Should be fine. Armory definitely does not sync properly. I checked the box in Armory "Let bitcoind run in background" since this is the only time Armory seems to be actually doing something. I'm still a little confused what to fill in the blanks tho:
Bitcoin install dir I pointed to D:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon
Bitcoin home dir I pointed to D:\Program Files\Bitcoin
Is this correct?
No... If Bitcoin Core is indicating that your "Datadir" is D:\Program Files\Bitcoin, then you have somehow setup the Bitcoin Core datadir in a non standard location... Note: there are TWO locations for Bitcoin Core... one is the installation folder for the application itself... this usually goes to "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin"... but I suspect you may have installed it somewhere else?Datadir is D:\Program Files\Bitcoin

Then there is the Bitcoin Core "data" directory... this is the directory where Bitcoin Core stores your wallet and the blockchain data. By default, this is usually "C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin"... however, you indicated that your "datadir" is set to "D:\Program Files\Bitcoin"??!?
Can you please confirm that you have a "D:\Program Files\Bitcoin" directory... and that it contains the following Folders:
blocks
chainstate
database
and that it has files like:
.lock
debug.log
fee_estimates.dat
mempool.dat
wallet.dat
Cool, I'll try that too. I don't need my coins straight away, I know they're not gone gone. I'd like to get armory to work just out of curiosity but thankls for the tip anyway!
I'm just a little puzzled what you mean by "running bitcoind -reindex". Would you mind explaining what exactly you mean? Thanks guys!

I had the same once.
Some block files was corrupted.
You can fix that easly by running bitcoind -reindex ( Takes few hours ).
After that you need to rebuild the armory DB as well.
EDIT:
If you need your coins you can always extract the privkey of the address you sent the coins to and import it in another wallet.
