Topic: Problem (Read 963 times)

All right its finally synced up, and it fucking works perfect now!

Thanks both of you for your patience, real good work

Peace

BTC Core can be quite CPU intensive... and it can do the "not responding" thing occasionally if it is really busy hashing stuff while calculating checksums etc... any chance you can post the debug.log


 
In that case, with your first BTC Core open (and fully synced)... can you goto: "Help -> Debug Window" and see what the "Datadir" path is... if that is NOT "D:\Bitcoin" then you can try and set  the path in Armory to be whatever it says there...

All right so of course there's more problems until the end of this god damn tragedy.

When I start BTC Core through the shortcut(with that special target) it goes through veryfing blocks but it won't open the BTC Core because it says not responding and the only thing I can do is to close it. The last time it was up and running the procces was at 75%  or so if that helps.

When I start my first BTC Core without that shortcut, it opens normal and is fully synced but that doesn't help me since my Armory balance doesn't change with that one.

So I've got Armory updated now and BTCCore is syncing, I'll update you when sync is finished!

Well that's a good start Hopefully it'll sync up and all your transactions will show...

Given you're on Windows, the only thing you should need to download is the file named armory_0.96.0.4-testing_win64.exe

That is the 0.96.04 testing build for Windows (64 bit)... the .deb file is for linux

Okay I did it like you said and it worked, now it's downloading the blocks again.

Second thing is about the latest Armory testing builds, when I go to the link goatpig has posted and download the latest it just download some files I can't open, don't know how to install that.

No, you need to add the argument to the END of the target line... like this:


NOTE: the first part of the target has simply scrolled off the side as the entry is so long... but it includes the FULL path to the bitcoin-qt.exe...

I made a shortcut for btcQT and I've put the target like you said but when I press OK it says:

"Problem with Shortcut"
The name -datadir="D:\Bitcoin" specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.

And of course I don't know how to run it from command prompt 

Start bitcoin-qt with this argument:

Either run it from the command prompt or create a shortcut for it and add the argument to the shortcut's target.


There's been 4 testing builds out for 0.96.1 so far. Check the release page:

https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases


Initializing from scratch, i.e. no existing state/empty folder.

I'm real glad that we're getting some proggres here, but there are so many things that I don't know what they mean in that your last post such as:

1)How to make sure that my BTCQT is running against my custom datadir(what is datadir?)

2)Isn't the latest Armory 0.96?

3)What does boostrap the DB mean?

The only 2 things I know how to do out of that post is to start BitCoinQT on it's own and I've deleted the (C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Armory\DATABASES)

I know this has to be pain in the ass, but I really have no clue about this stuff

Got what I need.

Start BitcoinQt on its own, make sure it's running against your custom datadir and that it's fully synced.

Upgrade Armory to the latest testing builds, delete your DB folder (C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Armory\databases) and boostrap the DB.

You can learn how to path for Armory here:

https://btcarmory.com/docs/pathing

Double check your setup against this for the good measure.

Some of them aren't full because pastebin can't post more then 512 kb
And tbh I've no idea which exactly did I post here now, I literally went through Bitcoin map and Armory map and copy/paste most of the reading files

If you could say exactly the name of which file should I "pastebin" that would be helpful

This looks bad:

Basically, it can't find your Bitcoin Core blocks... although, that error is from the 7th July...

Did you pick and choose a couple of errors that you thought might be relevant? You really should post the WHOLE file... if you're selectively picking entries from the .log file it makes it difficult for folks to see what is really going on.

Seems like the earlier errors you posted would indicate that your Bitcoin Core blocks might be corrupt... but yeah... post FULL logs

Does any of these help?

I tried Rescan&Rebuild on Armory, restarted it and now it won't even go online mode, the scanning procces always gets stuck near the end

Post your logs, in full.

Indeed, if you are at block 304097 (while the latest is currently 477579), then you are not sync'ed up, and Armory can't see that transaction and your balance.

I do not know how to fix your issue, though, just pointing you towards what needs to be fixed.

I guess this "ERROR" things are the problem, can u get any info out of this?

I found this thing under: armorylog_20170716_2328

In the Armory directory, you should find the debug logs... dbLog.txt and armorylog.txt... they're just text files, open them in a text editor of your choice and scroll all the way to the end of the file... see if there are any obvious errors being output...

Alternatively, copy/paste the content of the log files to pastebin.com and post the links here so people can check for errors.

Sorry for being a newb here, I've no idea what is dbLog.txt or any of those things u just said, could u explain it to me any better?

what does your dbLog.txt debug file show? Are there any obvious errors being shown there?

You might want to check the armorylog.txt as well... see if there are any errors when spawning the bitcoind and ArmoryDB processes... and double check that the "satoshi-datadir" is showing the correct path to your block folder.

The box is checked.

My BitcoinCore is installed on Local Disk D,

BitCoin Install Dir: D:\Bitcoin
BitCoin Home Dir: D:\Bitcoin

If I try to change any of those two(Install or Home Dir) and restart Armory, it just says "Armory failed to spawn DB, continuing operations in offline mode" and when I change back to these D:\Bitcoin then restart again it's all good and in online mode. But in that online mode there are 300k+ Blocks in the bottom right corner which I guess is the problem since it has to be 400k+.

I guess then my Armory isn't actually fully synced and that's why I can't see the correct balance? Any ideas how to fix it?

What do you have under "File -> Settings -> General"...

Is the "Let Armory run Bitcoin Core/bitcoind in the background" box checked?

Are the file paths correct for your install? Did you install Core (or setup the Core data directory) in a "non-standard" location? For instance, my Core install is in C:\Program Files\Bitcoin but I set the Data directory to be E:\Bitcoin (dedicated drive for blockchain data):

Armory said it's fully synced, but in the bottom right corner there are green letters that say: "Connected 304097 blocks"

If this is the problem and I need to get to 400k something, how to do that on Armory? And why does it say it's fully synced atm?

There is no way for that website to produce anything useful under "wallet name" unless you give them that info... You could call your wallet "My super awesome wallet of awesomeness" and that information resides solely on your PC.

In fact, that website is pretty much guessing at most things... I suspect all they are attempting to do is crawl the web looking for bitcoin addresses listed on websites and tying them to businesses and/or usernames from forums etc... I wouldn't take anything that website says as being accurate.

As for your transaction not showing up... does Armory show that it is up to the same block height as Core? Current blockheight is: 477448... Your transaction into that address was in block #474666:

If Armory has not processed up to at least block 474666, then there is no way for it to show/include your transaction in the history...

Yeah it's synced to the latest.

PS: Another thing that is dazzling my mind is that on the site "Bitcoinwhoswho" my BTC Addres is listed under a wallet named: c15b039d9ad9ab30, while my only wallet on Armory is called Primary wallet??

Is Bitcoin Core synced to the latest block?

I'll try to explain this as best of my knowledge, since I'm a newb at all this

I've transffered BTC from BitKonan to an addres that has been generated by my Armory(164pmguHAurWVADRRTQiWPQXeTchmz7sSE), I can see that the BTC is on that addres, and I can see that exact same addres in my Armory wallet under "Unused Adresses", the problem is my Armory doesn't show up the balance, it's like its not even there, and because of that obviously I can't send/spend my BTC

Any kind of help is appreciated,

Thanks in advance

PS: I've got the private keys to the addres(guess that's obvious)
