Unfortunately there is not. Armory requires the entire blockchain.

The Armory paper backup contains a root private key which is used to derive all of your addresses. Unfortunately this root key is not the same as BIP 32 master private keys nor is the derivation algorithm the same. You would have to import your wallet into Armory and then export all of the private keys to be imported into another wallet.

The source code is forked by multiple people and publicly available on github. So you can still compile Armory from source AND binaries are currently hosted on Github as well so you can get those there too.

You are incorrect. You can double spend a transaction which is not RBF enabled, it will just be slightly harder to do as less nodes will relay it, but it is still possible. It has been done multiple times in the past by other users in the same situation of the OP and I have done it before to prove that it could be done.

First, you should update all of your software. Install the latest Bitcoin Core and the latest Armory. Then you need to start Bitcoin Core and let it sync. You MUST sync Bitcoin Core otherwise Armory will not work. This will download the entire blockchain which is ~100 GB right now. It syncs automatically so all you need to do is make sure your computer has enough disk space and then just start the software.

No. The current dev team consists of the same person who worked on previous versions of Armory and a few community members (including myself) and other former employees of ATI (the previous developers).

Armory is still a good choice for cold storage of any amounts.

I was asking for what your wallet client is. You are using blockchain.info's web wallet. This wallet does not give you enough utilities in order to properly double spend the Bitcoin. Unfortunately you will not be able to do that option.

Your post was off topic, regardless of laughter value or jokingness or whatever else you intended it for. The question asked was in Beginner's & Help, a section meant to help people. Your post was both off-topic and completely unhelpful, thus breaking the rules and removed.

Furthermore the OP asked for help from experts, not other people who are going to give complete non-answers.

Lastly you are wearing a paid signature. This means that when your posts are reported they are more likely to be removed as they will be more likely seen as sig spam.

Your transaction fee is fairly low. You can 1) wait for it to confirm eventually, 2) create an RBF (double spend) transaction, or 3) ask a miner to confirm it for you.

For option 2, we need to know what wallet software you are using.

For option 3, you can contact Quickseller and macbook-air and they can help you with that.

The problem is likely that you are using a lower power machine. Running Bitcoin Core requires a significant amount of CPU power and RAM. The macbook air is relatively low powered and thus will run slowly when starting up Bitcoin Core as a lot of processing happens on startup.

Probably not.

Your transaction fee is too low. The current recommended transaction fee is ~100 Satoshis/byte. You only paid ~65 satoshis/byte.

Unfortunately blockchain.info does not provide enough advanced utility to allow for creating an RBF transaction. All you can do is wait for a miner to include your transaction.

You can also contact Quickseller and macbook-air as they are known to have helped people in the past with stuck transactions.

First you need to run bitcoind or bitcoin-qt. If you have a desktop interface that you can use, then I suggest that you run bitcoin-qt. Only after you have done that will the ~/.bitcoin folder exist. You will then need to wait a long time for Bitcoin Core (the name of the actual software) to sync.

Then how exactly are you going to send him something that has stego in it? Steganography is not a medium communication, you still need something like an email or phone number in order to send something that has stego in it.

Steganography is not useful here. It is very similar to a symmetric encryption scheme and shares many of the same issues. In order to send anything both parties need to know how to decode the data encoded with steganography. The method of decoding has to be transmitted to both parties through a secure channel. At that point, you might as well use that secure channel for your communications as you have already established the secure channel.

I am looking for people who would like to advertise on my website, https://www.bctalkaccountpricer.info/

What is the website?

For those of you who don't know what this website is, it is a place to look up various stats about an account, including a price estimation. This site is frequently used by account sellers as well as those who want to find out the potential activity of an account, posting statistics of the account, and all of the addresses previously posted by the account. For more details, see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1142314.0.

Stats

The website receives 100-300 impressions per day.

The winner of the auction will be notified once the auction is over. You must either send first or use a reputable escrow.

Start Bitcoin Core with the -salvagewallet option. See https://achow101.com/2016/07/Bitcoin-Core-Troubleshooting#option-startup for help with doing that.

Running a node is very easy to do, but it also requires a lot of patience and some (but not a lot) of knowledge about networks and your own network connections.

First of all, starting up a new node is incredibly easy. Download Bitcoin Core, install, and run. That's all you have to do and you will have a node running.

The complicated part comes in when you are considering whether you are able to run a new node. Ideally you want an internet connection with no data caps, a computer that has 100+ GB of free disk space and can run 24/7, and at least an internet connection with a 2 Mbps download and upload speed. If you don't have one or more of those, you still can run a node but doing so requires a bit more configuration. Besides those, you just need a lot of patience. Downloading and verifying the blockchain can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a couple of days depending on your computer hardware and your network connection.

Having a full node wallet (a full node with wallet capabilities such as Bitcoin Core) gives you the benefits of better privacy and not needing to trust anyone else on the Bitcoin network in addition to aiding the network by being another full node.

Running a full node does not mean that you will learn more about how Bitcoin works.

Regular full nodes are not involved in the block mining process. That is for specific full nodes called miners. The miners have specialized hardware to mine blocks.

Go to Help > Rebuild and Rescan Databases. Then restart Armory. That will rebuild the databases and rescan the blockchain for your transactions.

Also, please post your log files.

This is all specified in BIP 21: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0021.mediawiki

For an example of an amount:

I think he is talking about the blocks that are not 990+ Kb that occur semi frequently. These are often either empty blocks or are simply just not full.

It actually reindexes not rescans.

Verify the binaries and you will be fine. AV's tend to flag Bitcoin Core as a trojan because it looks for a wallet.dat file.

First, you need to install Bitcoin Core (I'm guessing you did not do that given your newness). Then you need to let that sync, which can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. It will download ~100 GB of data so make sure you have at least that much space on your computer.

Once Bitcoin Core is synced (It should be fairly obvious when it is), then you should start Armory. It will complain about Bitcoin Core being open. Ignore that and go to File > Settings and uncheck the box labeled "Let Armory start Bitcoin Core in the background". Then hit OK and restart Armory. It will build its databases for a while (anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or two) and then you should be online.
