Update: armory_0.96.5_amd64_gcc4.9_noasm.deb finally worked. armory_0.96.5_amd64_gcc7.2.deb was failing to run with "illegal instruction".

I subsequently tried Lubuntu 22, 20, and finally 18. 20 almost worked, but didn't have python-qt4, and attempting to use firefox to look up instructions on forcing python-qt4 onto it froze the entire system for whatever reason.

18 did NOT work out of the box (at least not with "minimal" install), had to connect to internet to install a whole load of dependencies for armory. It claimed that it installed. But when you run it, nothing happens.

When I try running it from terminal, (/usr/bin/armory), it spits out "Illegal instruction (core dumped)". Sudo or no sudo.

What is the recommended linux distro/version to use for a seamless install of 0.96.5?

I tried Lubuntu 24 (LTS), but that can't satisfy python >= 2.6 as python2 is no longer available.

Thanks for responding!

The reason I'm holding off on updating is because I don't want to re-do my offline laptop.. And IIRC the old version cannot sign the transactions created by newer versions unfortunately.

Do you happen to remember which port ArmoryDB is listening on?

Started Armory today after a while. No changes have been made, local Bitcoin node is running as always.
Last time I ran this successfully was not too long ago, either - a month or two ago, tops.

I think this may have something to do with those image files filling up the blockchain recently?

Armory version 0.96.3.99-beta-1c7f3e91df

Here is the log:

Can recommend. Make sure you have it configured to run when the grid is out as your installer may not think that through. 

I recall some noise a while back about PV systems having to power down when the grid was down if they were connected to the grid. I don't recall if there was some kind of exception if you had the correct isolation or not though.

Edit: https://thirdsunsolar.com/residential/does-solar-work-in-a-blackout-third-sun-solar/
Quick summary: A normal grid tie system cannot function without the grid to act as a storage system and modulator. The 60 cycle AC sync signal is provided by the grid, and the inverter syncs to that.

However you can buy a more expensive inverter that can provide its' own 60 cycle reference signal and use a battery pack as a storage/modulator. The "Sunny Island" from SMA is an example of this. When grid power goes down they switch to the batteries and run a portion of your house like a large UPS.



I've got 4 powerwalls and a 16kW array, and I lived the entirety of September 2020 off-grid. This was right after installation and before energy company inspection, so I had to either shut off the grid or shut off the solar.

No issues.

No, there is no way to "recall" anything in Bitcoin. How would you like it if someone paid you, and then "recalled" that payment? The network doesn't know it's you paying yourself.

Your options are:

1) Download the entire blockchain and use Armory as intended
2) Export private keys from Armory and import into another wallet that supports regular Bitcoin private keys (i.e. NOT mSIGNA), such as Electrum, and send it to mSIGNA using that wallet.

Re: Is there a good "recipie" for spending from a P2SH-P2PK address in bitcoin-qt?

I've looked at their signer code, that part is easy, basically already done in Armory since it copies the BCH replay protection as is. Couldn't find anything about their new address format or any of their other changes, so I'd have to actually crawl through their changeset to get this done, and well... what's in it for me? Realistically, BTG is a 1% bump for maybe a week of work, mostly spent trying to figure wtf they changed in there, with the added risk of fiddling with signer and address code?

Bottom line, the reward doesn't justify the risk.

Well - it is currently a 3% bump. For some, that means nice Christmas gifts. Pretty please?

Could this be what you're looking for?

Since it seems that he owns a decent stash the stockholders could try to organize to recover something. As an owner of 200 shares on Havelock I would happily pay 50% of whatever is recovered in my name to whoever does the job.

Willing to pay 50% as well, 42 shares owned directly.

How are the new builds coming? Itching to get started using SegWit, and compiling for windows is a pain.

Since when are torrents great for archiving? Archiving is usually for files of no interest to the general population. Torrent "archiving" requires a healthy swarm being always online, available to serve the file.
