I was setting up bitcoin bitcoin armory.  I thought I was able to receive coins at the time because I created a wallet.  I had a receiveing address.  I even backed up the walllet on paper.  Before I realized armory wasn't working properly on windows 10, and i tried several computers, it just doesnt, I sent coins from a wallet to this armory wallet that I thought was online.  It wasn't.

I've tried lots of ways to receive them, never have.  My sending wallet says they've been confirmed.  BTW this was Saturday, so I don't even know if its too late to try to get them.

Can I take the paper backup of my wallet that has that receiving address on it to a different bitcoin program and see if the funds will come in that way?  Or do I have to use armory, AKA set up a partition, set up UBUNTU and get armory working and put the wallet there?  I'd like to just use a wallet I know is working on my pc now.  

I am a newbie, it said armory was for newbs but it really isn't.  

Let me know what you think, have I totally lost this transaction?  I dunno why it says its been confirmed.  Is it possible someone else retrieved them?  

Like can I put the wallet on my bitcoin core? 

Does armory use seed like words as a backup or what?
If yes it can easily to be imported to electrum and such, also to use armory your Bitcoin Core needs to be synced 100%. You cannot send any coins before the whole chain is synced. Could you tell me more about the backup format so i can assist you?

its hard to say I'm at work at the moment.  The backup document has a QR code on it, and also 24 or so characters arranged in groupings of 4.

If I reinstall the armory it is also able to get the data you may need from me. 

Check your address in the block explorer (blockchain, blocktrail etc.) if the transaction is there if not the bitcoin is still on the receiver's address .  If its confirmed there .  Uninstall your armory and install it again after that import them again since you said you backed them up . Because if its already confirmed the problem lies on the walet, maybe its not synced .  Did you install the compatible version for your  pc?

I found this "Wallet Properties>Backup this wallet>See other backup options>Export Key Lists then click the button Export Key Lists."
So you should do that from armory, then look for your public key from there and copy the private key and install electrum from https://electrum.org/ then on startup it asks for wallet creation way, select private key option and paste the private key of the public address you sent bitcoins to. You will be able to send them instantly to another address, but i recommend electrum since it is easy to use and you do not have to store the whole blockchain, since the electrum nodes are storing the blockchain for you, but you locally own the private keys still. Let me know how that went or if you need more help :)

yes it says its confirmed there.

So restore the wallet with my document.

Then backup the wallet.

Get the data from the previous post, and put it in elysium and they should aprear?

It does say the transaction was confirmed. 

I did just every time I try to run the program I get a data base error.  Thats why I wanna try installing ubuntu tonight and running it on ubuntu.  I tried armory on several computers all had the DB erorr.  And my bitcoin core is synced. 

thanks for the help, I'll give it another go this afternoon.

Does the armory provide private for your BTC address? Because if that is available, Maybe you should try to import your private on other BTC wallet like blockchain. I'm not very familiar with armory app. But I think it is almost the same on bitaddress.org which generates wallets.

grim007 , if you are talking about blockchain.info (wasn't clear), OP, don't do it.  Blockchain.info seems to have a ton of problems and is not recommended by many.

From which did you get a database error? From the armory? Or from the block explorer? Can you provide the TXID or the address?
You can export your private keys by following this tutorial here: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/41466/transfer-wallet-from-armory-to-bitcoin-qt

There are tutorials here to rebuild your block explorer and how to delete and redownload blockchain :  https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/troubleshooting/

What version of Armory are you using? What version of Bitcoin Core? What exactly is the error you are getting. Can you please post the armorylog.txt and dbLog.txt files found in the Armory datadir? Can you also post the debug.log file found in the Bitcoin Core datadir?
