I finally got mine unstuck. I ended up gutting all the bitcoind and armory data and starting over. I had a paper wallet so I was able to recover so I did not need the wallet file. With my Intel i3 laptop it took about 3 days. A friend told me that as long as the time (in the log file) was updating and not a lot of unexplainable errors it should be good. I did have to recover my wallet from the paper wallet.

Looks like a prime candidate for carjacking. 

I have a similar problem with Amory that I suspect is due to Bitcoin Core not connecting. When I run Bitcoin Core I receive this error log:

Am I correct in thinking that Bitcoin Core needs to be connected?  If so what do I need to do to get this running? If I am wrong about the need for Bitcoin Core connecting I can post the Armory Log.

Help - Just changed to .92.3 and my Armory says it is Offline and when I go to the logdump it says:
 "2015-11-03 17:43 (ERROR) -- ArmoryUtils.pyc:3154 - Error in pybkgdthread: Must unlock wallet to change passphrase"

How do I "unlock" my wallet. What menu item do I select?  

I placed an order with Snapcard on 12/14 to make a purchase on Amazon for about $6.00, it arrived today (12/19 ). I don't know if they will continue, but I received that order. As far as the ease of purchasing an item, it is very easy. I don't have a Coinbase account so after the order they send an email saying what I owe and the BC address of where to send it.

What is needed in Bitcoin truly Peer-to-Peer is the ability to automatically determine the average value. The comparison would need to be in something like gold because dollars may not survive the next few years. With the value determined automatically then local trading would be much easier since the value would be easily determined. It would also tend to stabilize the currency. 

I'll try to find out what region they were from.

I planted several seeds and as far as I can tell all germinated. I ended up separating several plants and repotting them. I then had to thin what I had left. I do not know what region they are from, but I know they germinate well.

Thanks, Later on in the season I'll also want to advertize my Egyptian Walking onion bulbs.

Me too 

I understand that a PC is no longer sufficient to economically mine Bitcoins.

Can I post items I want to sell in the Newbie area?
