Topic: The new Armory website (Read 3800 times)
Small request, because it would have saved me some time today. I think the releases page on the website should prominently point out that you need to delete/rename the databases folder when upgrading from 0.93 to 0.94 or 0.95.
I thought Armory was pretty much dead as no one talks about it anymore. If you guys are looking for any translators for both Arabic and French language then I'm available to help. (using transifex would be great)
I have been using armory everyday for at least a year.
Bitcoin.org has relisted Armory on the wallets page. Bitcoin.com has told me they would but it doesn't appear to be up.
Maybe also try getting listed on bitcoin.com?
I'll try, but I don't like them. The wallet page is a mess to use.Yeah, it's a bit broken, isn't it. It's been like that since forever - don't know why they haven't fixed it yet. EDIT: I've reported it to them. We'll see if it does any good.
Still, bitcoin.org and bitcoin.com are on opposite sides of the block size debate. Since Armory is blocksize-agnostic (AFAIK) it would be good to aim for a listing in both places.

Contact https://bitcoin.org and ask them to list the new Bitcoin Armory website on their list of recommended wallets.
Been there, done that. So far, nothing.https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/1301
Thanks for the effort.

There definitely is a lack of appreciation outside of this forum that open-source Armory is still going strong. And also a lack of knowledge outside this forum as to who goatpig is and why they should trust the new releases.
I don't really know what we can do to help get the word out, though.
Some posts show old dates so I'm not sure IF you guys imported the posts from the old website or they are new , If it's new then there is something wrong with the dates.
As for this : https://btcarmory.com/transifex/ (which I'm pretty sure It's new) , It shows 28 August for some reasons while we are 22 (and I guess you wrote it few days back)
The dates can be set when the post is written. I back dated some of them to match when the release was made.As for this : https://btcarmory.com/transifex/ (which I'm pretty sure It's new) , It shows 28 August for some reasons while we are 22 (and I guess you wrote it few days back)
The one that says August 28 is a mistake. I meant to type 18 and I didn't see it until goatpig merged in that post and I was to lazy to change it.
I would recommend forcing https for the website and enabling HSTS preloading to prevent MITM downgrade attacks. These options should be configurable from the cloudflare interface.
It should already be forcing https. When I go to http://btcarmory.com/ I always get redirected to the https site. I've added it to the preload.Some posts show old dates so I'm not sure IF you guys imported the posts from the old website or they are new , If it's new then there is something wrong with the dates.

However, you left off the colon in the URI so it takes one to the http.com website instead.
Fixed.
Thanks for updating the link on the wiki. However, you left off the colon in the URI so it takes one to the http.com website instead. Looks like a dead website or a domain parking lot.
I don't control it, that's ATI's web page. Ours just went up, I'm guessing it takes some times for crawlers to even list it, let alone evaluate its relevance.
I updated the wiki page so that it points to your site. I left in the old links as "discontinued".
Google uses links in their algorithm, I think. Assuming the wiki counts as important, that should boost the importance of the website slightly.
I called the site "Armory Site" rather than official site. Maybe "community" site or something would be better.
Excellent news, Armory definitely deserves/needs a "proper" web-presence, even if only to satisfy the packaging expectations of the less tech-comfy out there. Good job, fellas.
A search for Bitcoin Armory still shows https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/ in first position with functional download links. Should not that website be taken down now?

I still don't understand what do you mean by "we are far from it" , are you guys the official developers of the wallet
In the legal sense there is no "official" developer anymore. That was ATI. Since the community took over, the license was changed to MIT, meaning it's everybody's game at this point. I own the repo for the fork and I don't turn down PRs, so feel free to contribute.
The project is a direct fork of the original repo (Alan's), and there has never been a realistic effort in Armory to move the localized text to dedicated files. To get actual in app translations going, we would need that step taken care of first (hint hint).
knightdk will add a todo page to the site with a list of the most sought after contributions for people willing to help in other capacity that straight up code.
As for anything related to the site itself, either coordinate directly with knightdk or submit a PR to the gh-pages branch.
I have no problem translating the website as well , once the Transifex page is done , link me to it please.
I'll have to figure out how to set that up first. AFAIK, the current state of the website is probably not compatible.I still don't understand what do you mean by "we are far from it" , are you guys the official developers of the wallet , are you rebuilding it or wat 
The current state of the software is not compatible with translations. This is due to strings being hard coded and not a reference to a strings file.

(using transifex would be great)
You can offer transalations for the web page, but as far translation for Armory itself, we are far from that.

Since the source is on the repo (branch gh-pages), feel free to submit PRs. Looking forward to tutorials submissions =).
After talking with goatpig, we have decided to launch a new website for the Open Source Armory that goatpig has continued development on.
