Help!Are my bitcoins gone??

[wombie]

Hy everybody,

I installed armory and created a paper backup. Some days later I klicked on receive Bitcoins. Then I copied the address via QR scanner into my phone app and transferred the bitcoins.
After that I started downloading the whole bitcoin core.
Then I saw no amount in my wallet although I saw the coins on the address. The next day it wasn't possible to connect again - the wallet stayed offline. I read in the forum that I should use a new version and I installed the latest version 0.96.3.99.

Again it was not possible to go online. So I decided to re-import my paper backup of my wallet into a fresh armory installation. I had the same problems.

Then I decided to change the wallet. So I exported the key list with all unused keys AND MY ADDRESS IS NOT THERE IN THE LIST!!
I'm panicking??? What can I do now??What went wrong??

Thanks in advance for help!
Christian

As long as you have the paper backup, you have the private key. Exporting your private keys is a bad idea, as it erodes the security model of your Armory wallet.

Your best step forward is to get Armory online then figure out what you want to do with your coins.

If you're concerned about your balance, you can check it by feeding your address to a chain explorer.
