Title: Laptop stolen. Can I recover from armory without the whole blockchain?
Post by: jwputrl on February 11, 2016, 08:50:16 AM
I have .wallet files (as well as seeds), but would really like to get the bitcoin safe asap - without having to wait to download the whole blockchain.

The laptop has passwords for these wallets, tho they are fairly heavily encrypted.  So probably OK, but it is just possible someone is trying to crack them - part of reason for wanting to do this quick if I can.

Also, I was going to reinstall armory anyway, but bitcoinarmory.com seems to be down - any advice on how to securely get the application, or do I have to wait till the site is back up?

Thanks.

You will still need to fully sync the blockchain in order to be able to spend the bitcoin. Or you can export the private keys to another client and send from there.

You can get the latest version at https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases/tag/v0.93.3 since the website is no longer armory's website
See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1351924.0 about that.
