Sigh. Thank you for continuing to maintain Armory, hadn't realized the tribulations.

Sorry to hear your tale of woe, Mine is far simpler.

Life happens, been busy, haven't touched BTC in about 12 months. Consolidating coin. Forgot about Armory wallet with big pile of coin in it. Start Armory 0.91, too old, needs bitcoin/etc updates, Update, hangs/crashes repeatedly. Backup wallet (digital, unencrypted), remove all traces of Armory, install fresh, import wallet, have repeated troubles with 0.95.1 taking forever to start, like others in this thread. Failing to start at all, like others in the thread, but I've been trying for a week..

.. and here we are.

What is the address chain length on your wallets? Did you restore them from a paper backup before syncing 0.95? Try extending the address chain in offline mode before rescanning. Also, what is the top block displayed in the bottom right?

Been all over the client, in expert mode, can't find the "address chain length", either where to change it, or extend it.

I do see a decent amount of "-ERROR - 1480706621: (..\BitcoinP2P.cpp:865) caught BitcoinP2P_Exception in processDataStackThread: invalid header size" in the ArmoryDB console however. I'll work on getting you logs. Pastebin ok?

Block count in lower right corner is: {will update once we're not OFFLINE again from restarting the client to get to expert mode}
