Post by: ayoyowololo on March 18, 2014, 10:25:06 PM
Help a noob out. Was in a hurry trying to find an alternative to blockchain.info wallet so i downloaded armory and didnt read the requirement stating i needed more ram. Armory has been synchronizing for over 24 hrs with 6% progress. How do i transfer my btc that i sent to armory to another wallet like multibit?

Start Armory in expert user mode, go to your wallet property window, pick backup center and chose export key list. You'll see all your private keys.

On multiplt i get the message "could not understand address in import file".
I save the private keys from armory the way it is put on the clip board. Do the private keys need to follow a specific format?

not 100% sure, but I think you need it in this format, first the private key then the utc date, in one line.

Example (don't import this one, its the brainwallet privatekey from: correct horse battery staple and lol):
Code:
5KJvsngHeMpm884wtkJNzQGaCErckhHJBGFsvd3VyK5qMZXj3hS 2011-12-31T16:42:00Z
5HsQCyqCw61VPQ9tN4ttasHW3AH6cJ6tJdneAXR8gUJ2MWyxxpA 2011-12-31T16:42:00Z

I guess the date is used to scan the blockchain from this point, so just set some time before
the address received the first coins.

Note: If your private keys are "compressed" they are shorter and don't start with 5, but it should still work the same.
