Right, so you no longer wish to use the Stockholm wallet then?
In that case, make a backup of your Stockholm wallet (just save the wallet.dat file somewhere)... you never know when you may need that again. Then shutdown the Stockholm instance of Bitcoin Core. Copy/Paste the Canaria wallet.dat into the Stockholm data directory, overwriting the current wallet.dat... then restart Stockholm Bitcoin Core.
Both your Canaria and Stockholm servers will be using the same wallet.dat (will have same addresses/private keys and transaction history/balance etc)

Well, here then: -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I am AaronJonk from Bitcoin Forum « bitcointalk.org »
As the implementation of BIP 0173 demands, I'm adopting Bech32 as segwit address format and the following bitcoin address will be used by me for signing purposes (authenticity, integrity, non-repudiation):

-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- Quoted and verifiedHowever, I would like to point out that your message is actually factually incorrect and somewhat misleading. That is NOT a SegWit address. It is a legacy address  Not sure where you got that signed message template from... or why you chose to use it if you're not actually going to use a bech32 segwit address as per BIP173 |

Do you simply want to use the "Canaria" wallet on the Stockholm install? or are you wanting to merge the wallets? If you want to simply use the canaria wallet, and don't care about the Stockholm one... you can shutdown the Stockholm install, put the Canaria wallet.dat into the Stockholm data directory and then restart the Stockholm bitcoind... it will then use the new wallet.dat If you're wanting to "merge" the data from Canaria with the data from Stockholm, things get a bit trickier. You can't have two seeds in one wallet... so if Canaria is an HD wallet, you can't take the seed and put it in the Stockholm wallet. At best, you could take all the currently generated private keys, export them... then import them into Stockholm wallet. However that has some obvious downsides... for instance, if you then generate new private keys in Canaria wallet (by exhausting the 1000 address keypool), they will not be included in Stockholm wallet... you'd need to keep exporting new private keys from Canaria and importing to Stockholm. That can get very messy and easy to get wrong. Not to mention the security implications of moving unencrypted private keys around!  Bitcoin Core also supports using Multiple Wallets on a single install. The GUI has the "File -> Open Wallet" option... and/or you can specify wallets on the commandline using the "loadwallet" command with bitcoin-cli or "-wallet" commandline argument when starting bitcoind. |

You didn't make the changes... you've switched to a completely different version of Armory??!?  As such, it now isn't being invoked with any parameters: 2019-11-02 21:27:39 (INFO) -- ArmoryUtils.pyc:1285 - Invoked: K:\coins\ArmoryStandalone 0.96.5\ArmoryQt.exe
So now, it is trying to use the default paths for everything: 2019-11-02 21:27:39 (INFO) -- ArmoryUtils.pyc:1293 - User home-directory : C:\Users\ZFarm\AppData\Roaming
2019-11-02 21:27:39 (INFO) -- ArmoryUtils.pyc:1294 - Satoshi BTC directory : C:\Users\ZFarm\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin
2019-11-02 21:27:39 (INFO) -- ArmoryUtils.pyc:1295 - Armory home dir : C:\Users\ZFarm\AppData\Roaming\Armory\
With the obvious result that it is unable to find the Bitcoin Core blocks data... 2019-11-02 21:27:43 (ERROR) -- BDM.pyc:197 - DB error: C:\Users\ZFarm\AppData\Roaming/Bitcoin/blocks is not a valid path
You need to either create the shortcut to the .exe that has the --datadir and --satoshi-datadir values... OR you can create an armory.conf in the standalone directory with the correct values... Have you read the Armory "pathing" docs? https://btcarmory.com/docs/pathing |

Exporting keys won't invalidate the backup. It will re-create the same wallet/private keys forever. If you want to simply check the wallet contents... Just export the addresses from the wallet, Don't tick the "private key" box... Just select "Address String" and "Include unused"... Then use a block explorer like block cypher, btc.com, blockchain.com etc to see if the addresses show any transaction history/balance. Alternatively, you could simply copy/paste all the exported addresses into Electrum and it will find all the transaction history/balances for you. By using addresses only, you'll create a "watching only" wallet in Electrum, your private keys won't be exposed and you won't need to worry about any coins be stolen etc. When creating the Electrum wallet, simply use the "import Bitcoin addresses/private keys" option during setup...  |

I was given a printed back up of the wallet from my fathers estate. so at this point I just want to know what it is. I am looking for help to get armory online *note that it was not my choice to use armory but a necessity.
...
Is there a thread on here anyone would recommend that will help me move forward with what I have, or instructions on starting from scratch?
If you're just trying to recover your funds and don't intend on using Armory going forward, then you can simply ignore the Bitcoin Core installation and setup. Just install Armory, restore the Armory wallet from the paper backup, and then export your private keys. Then you can import/sweep the private keys into the wallet of your choice. (Personally, I'd recommend sweeping... as it helps ensure that the coins are on "non-exposed" private keys) I have an old tutorial post (with screenshots) of how to export your keys here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4746784.msg43255691#msg43255691If you're wanting to continue using Armory (or you are not comfortable with the security implications of exporting/importing private keys) then you will need to install Bitcoin Core and create a "non-pruned" install. Armory requires a "full" Full Node... it needs all the block data, which you won't have if you use pruned mode. |

Is there a way to see if I have enabled the passphrase for my trezor one hw wallet?
As mentioned, you need to explicitly turn on passphrases for a Trezor ONE. It's in the web wallet GUI, click on the device in the menu on the left, then select "Advanced":  If it is switch on, after you enter your PIN, there will be a prompt to enter the passphrase:  NOTE: it is possible to enable passphrase functionality, create a passphrase protected wallet... then disable the passphrase functionality again. It is also possible to enable the passphrase functionality, and use a blank passphrase. So this is not a 100% accurate method of determining if there are actually passphrase derived wallets created with your seed. |

It's working again, but I do not know why it didn't in the last 3 days. Most likely it was because the server you were connected to was not functioning properly. The fact that you got the "unknown error" message is a strong indicator that you were connected to "fake" server(s) designed to trick users of older versions into downloading "fake" updates. A "normal" server would likely display a proper error message. As for why changing servers didn't work, the scammers often spool up large numbers of fake server instances on AWS etc flooding the server pool and making it difficult for users to actually connect to a legit server  Glad you managed to get it working tho. |

Is this for real? Brand new member with no posts? The Electrum website says to come here for support. No... it isn't real. As you rightly suspected this is a total scam. DO NOT trust anything that isn't explicitly mentioned on the Electrum website: https://electrum.org/#communityKudos to you for being naturally suspicious and asking questions. Sadly, Electrum is suffering from a form of " Tall Poppy Syndrome"... being one of the most popular wallets with a large userbase makes them a high profile target for scammers and hackers |

You have set the Armory path wrong, it is missing the ":" 2019-10-31 21:08:03 (INFO) -- ArmoryUtils.pyc:1285 - Invoked: armoryqt --datadir=K\coindata\armory --satoshi-datadir=K:\coindata\BitCoin Because of that it can't find the correct settings etc: 2019-10-31 21:08:03 (INFO) -- ArmoryUtils.pyc:1311 - settingsPath : K\coindata\armory\ArmorySettings.txt
Fix that path and it should hopefully start working correctly. |

It would appear that your shortcut and/or possibly your armory.conf setup is wrong then... Did you follow the instructions above to setup a shortcut to launch Armory? If so, then you'll need to edit it and set the "--datadir=" record to be: --datadir=K:\coindata\Armory
Then check your armory.conf... the satoshi-datadir should be set as follows: satoshi-datadir=K:\coindata\BitCoin
Shut down Armory, then restart it... If it still doesn't start scanning the blocks at get to 601,000+, then I would suggest using the "Help -> Rebuild and Rescan Databases" option and then shutdown and restart Armory again. If you're still having issues... repost the log files to a new pastebin so we can double check that the paths are at least set correctly. |

It honestly looks like your "pathing" is completely messed up. You seem to have attempted to copy the solution above exactly as it was written... but that solution was specific to Igor's setup... not yours! Armory 0.96.5 + Bitcoin 0.18.1 + Windows 10 will work (I know, because that is my setup)... so the trick will simply be getting everything configured properly. The fact that your paths are showing as: \coindata\armory\ etc is of concern. That is not a valid Windows directory path. It is missing the drive letter... 2019-10-31 09:50:20 (INFO) -- ArmoryUtils.pyc:1285 - Invoked: armoryqt --datadir=\coindata\armory\ --satoshi-datadir=D:\Bitcoin\new\home\dir
So, please tell me: 1. Where the Bitcoin Core data directory is? This directory should have bitcoin.conf, your wallet.dat and the "Blocks" folder in it. If you run Bitcoin Core GUI and look in the "Window -> Info" menu option, it'll show you "Datadir"... what is this value?  2. Where is the Armory data directory? This directory should have your armorylog.txt, dbLog.txt and "Databases" folder (defaults to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Armory)... It *might* display the correct default in "File -> Settings"... but you may need to adjust your shortcut and remove the "--datadir=\coindata\armory\" option first! |

I have been using "electrs" pretty much exclusively for my Electrum for a while now... I actually run it in an Ubuntu container using the "Windows Subsystem for Linux" It runs fine for my single user use-case... not idea what it would be like as a "public" server. |

I'm having the same problem with Armory 0.96.5 staying in offline mode only.
I've tried all what was said in above posts and it still stays offline.
What platform are you running? Windows? Linux? OSX? It might be helpful if you post your Armory log file to pastebin.com and then link the pastebin URL here. |

I suspect that "Armory" got translated or autocorrected to "Arsenal". As such, it would appear that reinstalling everything on the same drive seems to have fixed the OPs issue.

bottom right corner says "Node offline (256799 blocks)"
At present, your Armory wallet has only processed 256,799 blocks of the more than 600,000 in the blockchain. Unless you get those blocks to say a number greater than "600723" or "600744" then you will not be able to see either of those Bitcoin transactions in your Armory wallet. Make sure your Bitcoin Core is fully synced (showing more than 600,000 blocks in the "info" tab)... then start Armory and if it doesn't increase the block count, you'll need to try using the "Help -> Rebuild and Rescan Databases" option to force Armory to rescan the blocks data from Bitcoin Core |

Some day ago i download mycelium app for holding bitcoin already collected mycelium backup key phrase, can not find tutorials mycelium verified massage  look at the image please how verified massage? Mycelium is able to "verify" a signed message created using another wallet... like this ones you can find in the "Stake your Bitcoin Address" thread. That "Verify Message" menu option allows you to copy/paste a signed message and verify that it is signed correctly. However, if you want to create a signed message within Mycelium, you need to select the account you want from the "Accounts" tab (tap it so you get the popup that says you're "working" with that account"... then click the 3 dot menu and select "Sign Message". If you are using an HD account, it'll prompt you to select which address you want to sign with...  Then, you'll be asked to enter message:  Type your message, then you click the "sign message" button and you'll get the signature:  Which you can then copy to clipboard or "share"... and you'll get something like this: -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Test message signing in Mycelium by HCP. 2019-10-31
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNATURE-----

Which can then be verified using something like BrainwalletX: https://brainwalletx.github.io/#verify?vrAddr=129Zb5FULziPrkNBwkXaeKmSVphxM1gnZ3&vrMsg=Test%20message%20signing%20in%20Mycelium%20by%20HCP.%202019-10-31&vrSig=H0d%2Fo5r0EgqW6WI%2BhSOdLqN48j2JQatTEW1aT8vZgiTMfntPxugltY3Y1wrl6yFIMdKP5Ju%2Fst28NBZTrLJAmus%3DNOTE: if you select an address starting with a "3"... it is highly likely that it will NOT verify properly on BrainwalletX and will only verify in Mycelium, or Electrum or possibly Trezor due to issues with signing messages from P2SH addresses. |

It really comes down to a wallets "UTXO picker algorithm" and/or if the user is implementing manual coin-control.
Some wallets just use "oldest UTXO(s) first"... some use "least number of UTXO(s) required)" to keep transaction size to a minimum... some do all sorts of weird things in the name of "privacy"... some just include ALL UTXOs in a wallet in every transaction.
Then you have wallets like Bitcoin Core and Electrum that provide "coin-control" features that enable the user to pick and choose which UTXOs they want to include.
As ETFBitcoin stated above, without knowing the specific wallet you experienced this with, it is difficult to state with any confidence the reason why you witnessed this behaviour.
