Topic: Node offline + POLLERR error (Read 897 times)

actually my issue is solved
i followed the quoted instructions from my previous post

thanks goatpig

I don't get it, you still having the issue or not?

I am bringing this topic in the present day so to give many thanks to achow101!

I have tried everything for solving connectivity issues with Armony and Core wallet but with no success.
In between my searching inside the forum I also found this old topic which actually gave me the solution

So I posted for helping other users that may have similar errors

Update:

Thank you goatpig and achow101 for your advice. I installed the latest versions (Core 0.14.1 and Armory 0.96.1) and rebuilt Bitcoin Core from scratch (took 3 days on my laptop) but the log still showed errors and Armory still said Node Offline!  I ended up exporting my wallet private keys and sweeping them into another wallet that does not require me to download the entire blockchain. 

Thanks again.

You should try the testing builds:

Try starting Bitcoin Core manually. First start Armory. Then uncheck the "Let Armory run Bitcoin Core in the background" box in File > Settings. Then stop Armory. Start Bitcoin Core and let it sync and get fully started. Then start Armory. It should then say that you are online. Then you can send. If you are not online, you will not be able to send transactions.

This is the log file:  https://pastebin.com/raw/NEXYKaN1

Thanks.

Post the full log, use pastebin

I deleted the Armory databases folder and started Armory which seemed to finish ok as I can see my wallet and coins. However, I am having trouble sending BTC as nothing seems to happen!  I noticed 2 things:

1. The bottom right of the Armory window says "Node offline (466979 blocks)"

2. The bottom of the log file shows a "POLLERR error"!  what is that?

Could these be affecting the issue with sending btc?  How do I fix these errors?

Thank you!
