Hi,
I have been using Armory for a few years now and with the recent update I am unfortunately losing faith with the software after a multitude of problems. Here's what I have tried:
On my main Windows 7 PC, I had Bitcoin 0.13.2 installed and fully synced. I had an old version of Armory so updated to 0.95.1. I let Armory rebuild the databases, which used all of my RAM to the point where the PC became completely unusable (never used to do this before). I left Armory building databases overnight and over several sessions but it never finished.
I tried clearing down the Bitcoin DB and Armory DB, re-synchronised the entire Bitcoin history. Started Armory rebuilding the databases again. This time it got to near completion (to scanning transaction history), and then crashed. When I started it back up again it just started rebuilding the database from the beginning.
I tried running Bitcoin Core separately, still no luck. (NOTE: I was using --datadir option for Armory and Bitcoin. Doesn't seem to be fully supported by ArmoryDB.exe, as it still looks in %appdata% for the Bitcoin blocks...)
So to start clean I installed Bitcoin on an entirely new Windows 7 64bit machine. I let it fully sync with the network.
Installed Armory 0.95.1.
Set Armory NOT to run Bitcoin core, so I have the Bitcoin Core GUI and Armory GUI running separately.
Launched Bitcoin core, launched armory.
Waited for Armory to build the databases, which was very quick compared to last time.
Armory now tells me that it has Connected (451995 blocks), whereas Bitcoin tells me it is fully synced at 452007. But I can see ArmoryDB is still scanning in the background.
The problem now is that Armory is showing no transaction history at all for my wallet and saying the balance is 0.
The log files are here:
