Hi guys,

total bitcoin newbie here. Not sure if im in the right place but the OP's problem appears similar to mine

ive downloaded armory to use as my PC wallet. Its downloaded however it seems to of frozen up (at 48% - 8 hours to go) while syncing.

Ive checked trouble shooting and tried their suggested solution (To fix this problem:In windows, right-click on the time and select “Adjust Date and Time.” Then, set the correct Date and Time. It's also critical that you select your proper timezone. Optionally, you may also choose to go to the Internet time tab and allow windows to automatically synchronize with the Internet time. For more info, refer to: windows dot microsoft dot com/en-us/windows7/set-the-clock) however this hasnt changed anything

anyone have any other suggestions? its been stuck on 48% for around 6 hours now

another separate question; do i need an additional wallet for my smartphone? (for making purcashes with bitcoin at stores or using bitcoin ATMs?)

thanks
