Topic: "the broadcast process failed unexpectedly" (Read 1539 times)

Thank you for your advise. I just did what you suggested. In the ArmoryDB.exe commandprompt window, there is no error and the line with the current blocks correspond with the one on the bottom right hand corner of Armory. However, when I send bitcon from one wallet to my other wallet, an error in the ArmoryDB.exe windows appears: "-ERROR -1490370418: (..\SocketObject.cpp:125) poll() error in writeToSocket: 10038". I guess I just wait for the new version and hopefully, the problem will be solved. Otherwise I'm screwed.

-dsiablewallet is an argument for bitcoin-qt (Bitcoin Core) not for Armory. Anyways, you don't need to use that option.

Restart Armory. Watch the ArmoryDB window (a command prompt window that will have some output) that appears and your current block count in the bottom right hand corner of Armory. When you want to send, make sure that the block count is up to date and that there is no error in the ArmoryDB window that says anything like "Disconnected from Bitcoin node". If you do see that error, or the ArmoryDB window has disappeared, restart Armory, check those again, then send. Repeat until you are able to send.

The bug that is causing this issue has been fixed for 0.96. The 0.96 testing builds will be out soon, after goatpig finishes implementing RBF for 0.96.

I'm running "C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe" -disablewallet

Those who have are experiencing this issue, can you please post your armorylog.txt and dbLog.txt files found in the Armory data folder? I am investigating what is causing this problem, and I will need to see both log files to confirm my current hypothesis.

What command line arguments are your running Armory with?

I seem to have the exact same problem as Cobbler7. But I run v.0.95.1-beta on Windows 10. Armory is online and I could restore an old wallet and also create a new one. But I cannot send the bitcoins from my old wallet to the new one since I get this error message "Broadcast failed unexpectedly. Report this error to the developer team if this issue occurs repeatedly". Sending bitcoins from my bitcoin exchange also seems to fail. They keep canceling my withdraws.

As goatpig suggested, I tried to start Bitcoin Core with –disablewallet. But then I get the message “The logfile ’C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe.log’ could not be opend: [Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Armory\\ArmoryQt.exe.log’”

However ArmoryQt.exe.log is at this location and I can open it. Btw, this log is full of errors. The top line reads: “(ERROR) BDM.pyc:265 - setSatoshiDir: directory does not exist: C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\”. And again, this directory exists too, since I installed Bitcoin Core with the default settings.

Please help!

KeptUpLate -- I explain a bit about how I got the raw transaction from Armory and broadcast via Core over in the following thread:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/broadcast-process-failed-unexpectedly-1753579

Note that it was on linux, but the Armory portion might still help you....

In your case, you'll have to wait for 0.96

Me too have the same problem.


Yehw, but this I cannot understand at all. Allready peeked in the Armory Appdata and other nearby subdirectories.
Probably the wrong places.

I have troubles understanding "RAW Data", let alone finding them. Can't understand the concept of it.
That's how Newby someone can be.

I am sorry, but I really need some more help, already put some bitcoins in this Armory Wallet, wich seems have to stay there forever.
Oh man , I really feel miserable by such a misstake.

Same stuff applies.

Hello,
I have the same error when trying to send btc from Armory v 0.95.1-beta-374672b751
Bitcoin Core wersja v0.13.2 (32-bit)

empty address is created: 1B6zDd41anwF4vMkLPCoSP7zWdtRpaCwCr but there is no transfer of btc

thank you for help

Start Bitcoin Core with -disablewallet and go the console tab. Then type "sendrawtransaction tx" where tx is your raw transaction in hexits (not line breaks, no spaces, no symbols)

Thank you for the quick response. Unfortunately, I am a newbie and
have no idea how to broadcast a raw armory transaction over bitcoin
core.

That is, I should be able to find the raw Armory transaction file, but
could you give me a sentence or two about how to make core broadcast
that file directly?

Thanks much for your help!

Grab the raw transaction from Armory and broadcast it directly with core for a better error message.

Hi, I am repeatedly getting the same error message, but am
running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Armory 0.95.1.

("Broadcast failed unexpectedly. Report this error to the developer
team if this issue occurs repeatedly").

I also repeatedly get the same error message when I run Armory 0.95.1 on a
Ubuntu 14 laptop.

I can connect to the bitcoin network okay through Armory on both machines,
and it updates both the balances in my online and offline wallets.

But when I try to transfer the small amount of bitcoin from my encrypted
online armory wallet to my cold storage armory wallet, I get the error
message repeatedly. It doesn't seem like armory/bitcoin tries to connect
for awhile and gives up. It just hits me bam! with an error message as soon as
I hit the send button.

Anyone have any idea about what is going one or how to possibly fix this?!

Thanks for your consideration.

Updated to 0.13.1 and relaunched Armory.
It's working now. 

Getting the following error when trying to send bitcoins "the broadcast process failed unexpectedly"
Armory v 0.95-beta-374672b751 shows it's online and connected.

bitcoin 0.12.1 is fully synced
