Hello, I have installed the new drive, downloaded Bitcoin Core to my 2TB C: drive & I can happily tell you all the transaction is there, in both Armory 0.96 & 0.96.5.

I will read back through the help in regards to the order of the programs & using command prompt.

I am happy to say I didn't need to use it 

Cheers.

Oh wow ok, I am going to order a 2TB SSD for delivery next week & I will install Bitcoin Core (no prune) that's likely all my issues.

I ran out of space on this drive today & the wallet still had 30k blocks to go. I will make a clone & use the extra space for Bitcoin Core & Armory.

Thanks to you all for helping me try to understand this.

Thank you for all the help & since I posted last, I decided to install Bitcoin Core on my C: drive, I have had to prune the blockchain. It is already updated & I have an install of Armory now on my C: drive also.

Today I loaded the Armory QT & it has started to update the blocks, currently 7% 444939 blocks & counting down.

If this fails I will go through everything you have all advised I do from here.

Thank again for your swift replies. 

Thank you again & this is where I am kind of lost, I know very little about the use of commands & how to specify these paths. I take it is done in command prompt & does it need to be elevated?

I am guessing I need to specify the D:\Program Files\Bitcoin directory the same as the paths in the QT?

I have pointed the top Armory Bitcoin install directory to D:\Program Files\Bitcoin

Blockchain & Database Paths
Bitcoin Home Dir to D:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin

Armory Database Dir to C:\Users\anotherusername\AppData\Roaming\Armory\databases

The username is different on the C: drive, I thought to point that out, will that be a problem?

I tried to rescan & rebuild the database, but the same greyed out boxes are there.
Do I have to have Bitcoin Core running or do I leave it off & check the box to have bitcoind running in the background from Armory?
I will have to look at sending the log later.

Hi, firstly thank you for you quick reply & I have downloaded the latest Armoury, deleted the databases folder, booted Armory & it says all wallets are consistent & just sits there no database updates.
This is where I get confused with the settings.. I have the box checked to let Armory run bitcoind in the background, my Bitcoin Core (not running) is on my D: drive. I have tied to point the Armory software to my D: drive Bitcoin installation after trying leaving the install directory blank.
I am sat at preparing databases & the boxes greyed out in Armory, how do I send a log file?

I have also remembered I was getting an error that stated something like stopblockingthread error on my PC, that's when the DB.exe would crash in Armory.

Bitcoin Core is only 2 days behind & was reading over 806k blocks, 300+ blocks to go.

My system will not run Armoury or on my other machine, the only version 0.96 on my son's PC has the ability to count through the blocks & fully update. My original installation with the original transaction is borked & will not get past 403k blocks. So I decided to restore my wallet on his working Armory installation & now his does not work either, stopping at the block where the transaction is at about 805k blocks. The ArmoryDB.exe disappears as it did on my machine. Please advise.

I can't see the 'transactions tab' now because since I imported my backup wallet to my son's machine, the wallet will not update past the block where the transaction was at approx 805, 000 blocks. The transaction no longer appears in the wallet that he sent to on my machine.

Hello, yes I am having big problems with the Armory wallet, I could not get the wallet to sync on my machine that he sent the transaction to & ended up messing up the installation. I made a backup of my wallet that my son sent the transaction to & I reinstated the backup to his machine with a working Armory installation. His wallet fully synced to the network, over 806k blocks & now that I have my wallet on his Armory install, strangely the wallet says it unexpected closed due to something unexpected in the hash rate, or something like that right at 99%.

Could it be the bitcoin didn't leave the wallet to mine?

I see my wallet is at 17647 blocks, the wallet is connected the balance does not show after rescanning the database. Is it just a case of waiting now?
Thanks again.

I have just rescanned & rebuilt the database & there is now no balance or transaction details, can someone tell me how that can be?

Ok thanks to you both for your quick responses, it's a relief to know I didn't do anything wrong this time..

I have moved the topic. 

This topic has been moved to Armory.

Hi, I sent a bitcoin transaction from my son's Armoury wallet on his PC, the bitcoin was redeemed from a cold wallet to his wallet & I sent it to my own personal Armoury wallet on my PC last night, both are Armoury (0.96). It still remains unconfirmed in my wallet after 95 confirmations now.
I marked it as RBF when it was sent & it is flagged in the received transactions in my wallet as: ***RBF Flagged*... The maximum funds reads correct but the spendable funds reads zero & the balance is red & unconfirmed, my wallet is connected & I can right click on the transaction & view it on the blockchain.

Did I do something wrong checking the RBF box on sending & how can I get the transaction to confirm?

I have not yet managed to get around to the next part of this nightmare, there's been too much going on IRL & TBH I have also put it on the long arm.
I will have access to the newly installed computer again after Sunday, so I'll hopefully get around to this sometime soon.

Thanks again for the help, I think I I will try to proceed with the pywallet recovery tool.
I looked at that when this happened initially, purely becuase the Bitcoin client said the wallet I was trying to load was in the wrong format.
I didn't get it working & came here for help.

Thanks to you all & if I get the wallet back there's something for all that helped.

I am not holding my hopes up of finding the key but I won't give up.

I'll tackle this job sometime this week & post back.

Hello, I am so sorry I completely missed this in my confusion at the time & being new to the forum doesn't help.

I wonder if you can possible walk me through what steps I need to do to get this up & running? As you might be able to tell I am noob at this stuff & not very good with it all.

Thank you for the nudge reminder. 

Yes the space was in the wallet folder name /My Wallet/ I tried renaming it without a space & the same error continued.

I also made a test wallet in the Bitcoin Core software & overwrote the newly created .dat file, the next time I load the client it shuts down after telling me the data is not in recognised format.

I will need to look at what options I have & thanks for the message. I will take it into consideration.

I'm gutted this hasn't worked out.
