Title: Re: Wallet shows it offline since a long time Post by: PhoenixFire on September 20, 2017, 07:21:21 PM You'll need to start bitcoin core (bitcoin-qt.exe) itself which will let you know how far behind the local data is.
Reading through the bitcoin full node guide might help explain a bit https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node How long it'll take will vary depending on bandwidth available and your CPU and potentially HDD performance. If you have RAM to spare, increasing the dbcache size can help there.

Bitcoin Core can take hours/days to sync up from scratch...Armory will take a lot less time to sync, but it can only sync up to what Bitcoin Core has actually received... so make sure you run Bitcoin Core first and get it fully synced before attempting to start Armory. |
