<p>I'm running Bitcoin-Qt v0.8.6-beta and Armory 0.90-beta on OSX 10.9. I've been stuck at "30 seconds" for several hours. This has happened twice now. Activity monitor displays no disk activity, but ~90-120% cpu usage. Bitcoin-Qt is fully synced and displays a green checkmark.</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated, thanks!</p>

**WARNING: Triple-check you have a backup of all of your Bitcoin-Qt and Armory wallets before deleting anything.**

Deleting the Armory and Bitcoin data directories (`~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin` and `~/Library/Application Support/Armory`) and re-downloading the entire blockchain (starting with a fresh bootstrap.dat) in Bitcoin-Qt fixed this for me.
