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知 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知 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知 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知 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?
