I haven't opened armory for a while because I use bitcoin qt for day to day use. Now I was going to transfer funds to my qt wallet, but I can't connect armory up to the blockchain. It scans the chain for 5-10 minutes, then I get a runtime error from windows, and it shuts down. Anyone have a clue what might be the problem?
Probably you have been hit by some of the data structures used to represent the block chain are now to big to be addressed in a 32-bit application. You suddently need a 64 bit version of Armory. That is very unfortunate, and unfortunately only one of many problems caused by the exploding size of the block chain.
Same problem here. And I'm running 32 bit windows on my laptop. Can I solve the issue by creating a bootable USB running ubuntu (64 bit), and installing QT + armory? And will I be able to transfer the blockchain across rather than having to wait for QT to sync (which would probably take a week)?
