Hello ConnyH,
Bitcoin Core will never ever follow the BCH chain (no matter which version). Replace Bitcoin Core temporarily with Bitcoin ABC and let that work as backend to Armory. Then you will be getting there.
EDIT1: And then move your BCH funds to a new wallet you create in a wallet that intends to support the future hard forks of BCH (e.g. Bitcoin ABC). Goatpig has made it clear, that he will not support Altcoins in Armory other than moving your hard-fork funds out of Armory wallets.
Hi,
Ive read the guide about claiming your BCH and if I understand it correctly I dont need Bitcoin ABC, have I missunderstood the guide?
Thanks for your reply!
Have you set Armory to specifically use port 9001? Mine uses a random-ish high port each launch and I'm fairly sure that is the default.
Either way, something is listening on port 9001, and ArmoryDB is trying to use that port too. As it says, it could be another ArmoryDB process that you would need to kill, or another program entirely.
If it is ArmoryDB, it is possible that it is choking on a bad DB, depending on which version you upgraded from, which is usually resolved with a rebuild and rescan.
Nope, I havent set Armory to specifically use that port. I dont even know how to set Armory to use a specific port. How do I set Armory to use another port?
I will try with a rebuild and rescan! I will also try to update Core.
Thanks for your reply!
The user should read the guide to moving funds before proceeding. If nothing else, it'll tell them about pathing, which they'll need to worry about it they don't want Armory to be deeply confused whenever people switch between chains.
Ive read the thread, but the problem is that Im very new to this (I've had bitcoins in an Armory wallet for a couple of years, but never really did anything with them), so I barely understood anything.
If I understood it correctly this is what I have to do:
1. Update Armory to a version that has the BCH signer
2. Delete some blocks to somehow see the BCH balance I had at the time at the fork.
3. Send all those funds to a real BCH wallet using the BCH signer.
Have I understood it correctly or am I completely lost?
Thanks for your reply!
