I don't have the 300GB on my SSD.
But somehow my Core is synced and up to date.  I've been running Core since 2014, I've never run into this before.
It still took almost 2 full days to catch up and sync each of the times I've done it over the past couple weeks
So how best to proceed?

Uninstall & reinstall Core and delete the entire AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin folder & do it yet again?
What do I need to do with Armory either before or after I download the whole blockchain again to get it to read or run Core itself so it can go Online?

Thanks

Something is definitely screwy here.  My BitcoinCore is most definitely synced & up to date but there is no 300+ GB of blocks

There are 35 Files & 3 Folders in C:\Users\powpig\AppData\Roaming/Bitcoin/blocks for a total of 1.93 GB

Folders are:
blocks  75.1 MB
chainstate   372 bytes
index  91.3 MB

1st 5 files are:
.lock  0 KB
.walletlock  0 KB
banlist.dat  1 KB
blk02297.dat  130,703 KB
blk02298.dat  129,878 KB

Read box is checked under Permissions

So what now?
How can my Core possibly be synced & up to date if I haven't downloaded the whole blockchain?
Uninstall & reinstall Core & do it yet again?
What do I need to do with Armory either before or after I download the whole blockchain again to get it to read or run Core itself so it can go Online?

Thanks for your help

I started up ArmoryDB (while Core was open & synced)
Here's the content of the window that opened:

According to the Information in the Node Window of Core, the blocksdir is C:\Users\powpig\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\blocks.

If I set the datadir in Armory to that same C:\Users\powpig\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\blocks, I can get Armory to go Online and it will begin to download a duplicate blockchain

As you say it's failing to read the data in that folder while the datadir in Armory is set to the default C:\Users\powpig\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin, I have no idea if any permission has been given, it previously worked fine, nothing has been changed, and if I can get it to read data by just changing the datadir location, it doesn't seem like that's the problem.  Am I wrong about that?

Thanks for the reply!

OK, I followed your suggestion, got Bitcoin Core fully synced, deleted the contents of the databases folder and started up Armory.

Still offline and nothing happening.

Here's the log files, again in 2 parts:

Can't get the wallet online

I had Armory working great but haven't used the laptop in nearly 2 years.

I downloaded the new 0.96.5 Armory & v0.20.0 Core.  The Core is fully synced in the default location as shown in the datadir.  I'm running Win 10.

I cannot get Armory to connect to that datadir.   In the Blockchain and Data Paths in Settings, I have tried both leaving it blank for the default as suggested and adding the C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin location.

I tried using the blocksdir location in the Blockchain and Data Paths and got it to go Online but it began to download a duplicate blockchain and I don't have enough room on my hard drive for an additional 330 GB.

Here's the log files.  Too big for a single so there's 2:

Anybody has experience with claiming BTG from core wallet?

I downloaded the newest BTG wallet from the main webpage
https://bitcoingold.org/bitcoin-gold-wallet-v0-15-0-2-release/
and ran it with my Core wallet.dat pasted in the AppData\Roaming BTG folder (Windows)
and it showed up quickly (as soon as the blockchain downloaded) and easily, just like when I claimed my BCash.

Now just waiting for a similar Bitcoin Diamond wallet to be released.

I'm running Bitcoin Gold 15.0.1-db7b378 (64-bit) which I downloaded from https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/

I sent a transaction last night, it's been over 12 hours but my wallet still shows the transaction as

"Offline, has not been successfully broadcast yet"

and a search of the address I sent to and the transaction hash on https://btgexp.com both tell me "Search found no results"

Anyone got any suggestions?
