Noob here, I have been reading about this problem for two weeks. I have read instructions, watched you tube videos and I am not confident enough to sweep my bitcoins to Electrum.
Why? it's money.
I am asking someone to make a video showing exactly how to sweep or move bitcoins to Electrum from Armory with current versions, step by step like you teach a child using a windows 10 64 pc.
I followed one link to a video that was dead.
Where most confusion starts is with terminology. "String Address, public key, private key, address pool, export key list (which one)? Address pool,
Example from forum post:
"Then you need to export the private keys and then import them into another Bitcoin wallet
1. Wallet Properties
2. Backup This Wallet
3. See other backup options
4. select "export keys list"
5. click "export keys list"
6. Select "Address String", "Private key (Plain Base58)", "Include unused (Address Pool)", "Omit spaces in key data" ....."
What does the address string look like? and where does it go in electrum. Video's I have watched use old versions of electrum so I can't follow instructions.
All your addresses/private keys will be displayed in the text window. You should be able to see the key that matches the address you sent bitcoins to. You can either copy/paste or save to a text file etc...
Then get another wallet that allows you to import (or sweep) private keys... I'd recommend Electrum (electrum.org/#download) given that you don't want a full node.
I have read sweeping is different than moving.
I have a paper backup of Armory wallet.
I didn't know Armory is not a good choice for beginners, my internet is very slow by today's standards.
Trying to get coin base to sync for weeks, I just want to move away from Bitcoin Core and Armory.
Before I bought bitcoin I searched for Windows Wallets and no one making suggestions mentioned that Armory is probably not a good choice for noob's.
I bought them to learn and for me a steep learning curve.
Thank you.
