What is wrong Title: Re: cant get online Post by: HCP on January 05, 2020, 08:29:59 PM What version of Armory are you running and where did you download it from?
The latest version is 0.96.5 and is available here: https://btcarmory.com/ NOTE: versions on bitcoinarmory.com is OLD and OUTDATED... DO NOT USE! Quote NOTE On 3 FEB 2016, Armory project transitioned from etotheipi to goatpig as the lead maintainer. Consequently, for latest news and release please see btcarmory.com or the Bitcoin Talk discussion thread. Also, do you have the latest Bitcoin Core 0.19.0.1 installed and fully synced? Armory relies on Bitcoin Core. You will not be able to "see" the coins in your Armory wallet unless you have a fully synced Bitcoin Core as well.

Are you sure that the address you input is the receiving address of your armory wallet is correct? If yes, then you might check the first post having bitcoin core sync first.
Title: Re: cant get online Post by: thommay on January 06, 2020, 08:23:02 AM i'm using Armory 0.96.5 downloaded from armorys website

If not, then there is no way that Armory will be able to show you your bitcoins (and therefore it won't let you spend them either). Armory reads the Bitcoin Core blockdata to see transactions that relate to your wallet... and it uses the Bitcoin Core RPC system to send out transactions. If you don't want to have to wait until Bitcoin Core is fully synced (will likely take a day or three, and require something like 280gigs of harddrive space/bandwidth)... then you other option is to export the private key for the address that you sent the coins to. You can find the private key by following this old guide of mine: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4746784.msg43255691#msg43255691 I would recommend that you download and install Electrum from here: www.electrum.org/#download Create a new wallet in Electrum and choose the "Import Bitcoin Addresses or Private Keys" option, then paste the private key that matches the one for your Armory address. You may need to prefix it with "p2pkh:" to make it generate the correct address in Electrum. So when you import into Electrum you have to enter it as: "p2pkh:YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY_GOES_HERE". for instance: p2pkh:5Kb8kLf9zgWQnogidDA76MzPL6TsZZY36hWXMssSzNydYXYB9KF |
