I followed the instruction of selecting the "Address string" and "include Unused" and "omit spaces in key data". There were about 1,000 addresses starting with the number 1 and about 51 characters long. At the end of each address string was "(unused/address pool)". I copied the whole list, pasted into google docs/word, and did a find all and deleted the (unused/address pool), because of the size of the list,  and then re-copied all the lines to paste into the Electrum wallet. What happened is that I see a zero balance for everything, the Tx is 0, and The type for every transaction is "receiving". Am I doing this correctly, or is it that this wallet has 1,000 receiving addresses, and no money? When I click on the "history" tab, there is no entries.

HCP, thanks for the response. Armory seems to be beyond my league of technical comprehension. I'm really looking to do whatever is going to allow me to see what is in the wallet, as fast as possible. I don't even need to be able to spend it right now. It would be huge to be able to see previous transactions as well. We just need to know if there is something substantial or not for the kids to inherit. It's important to document what is in there before the printed backup gets into too many hands (executors).

Questions about exporting the keys:
Will this process of exporting the keys make the paper backup invalid, or will the paper back up still work if someone decided to use Armory to make a transaction?
What is the simplest/quickest way to import the keys into a new wallet, and which wallet?

Thanks again. At least I got my wife to let me buy another hard drive!!

Good afternoon,

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.

i’m currently getting the error that says that the connection to the bitcoin core client was lost. the scanning indicator for the database build and transactions are just a spinning wheel with no percentages applied.

The technical information related to this installation is that I downloaded a pruned version of bitcoin core 18.1 by selecting the default prune option within the bit core application.

Armory is version 96. I left the path blank to default for armory to sync with the bitcoin core install directory and home directory.

The operating system is the latest version of windows 10 on an Asus Zen book with an i5 processor and 8gb memory and 250 GB solid-state drive

I am seeing that the bitcoin core is taking up about 60 gig because of the prune leaving me with about 198 GB available on the machine

I Messaged Goatpig asking for some guidance and it responded that I should get an external drive with at least 500 GB available to move the bitcoin core to, and see if I can get some guidance from the forum. so before I do anything else , because I do have about five days of full-time work into trying to figure this out, I would love any help.

so where I’m at right this minute is I have a Seagate 2 TB portable drive that has a USB type C adapter which will work with the ASUS.

i’m pretty sure that I need to reset my iOS to factory because my hard drive is looking funky after deleting some files trying to free up space when I initially tried to download the whole entire bitcoin core prior to selecting the prune option.

i’m considering copying the bitcoin files over to the Seagate external hard drive and then resetting the iOS on the Asus to get it functioning properly and then re-installing both the Bitcoin core and armory clients, pointing to the external drive.

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?
