HELP! - sent bitcoin to offline wallet before Armory/Bitcoin QT had synced

[damnhowsilly]

Hello,

In my naive haste I thought I could simply transfer a bitcoin to my offline Armory wallet. I hadn't even downloaded Bitcoin QT when I made the transfer.

Bitcoin QT is now synchronised with the network after a few days, however Armory will not even start "Scan Transaction History". This current computer (Mac OS X Yosemite) only has 2GB of ram. I had backed up my wallet to a disconnected USB drive before anything.

Now I am now simply trying to gain access and preferably move my bitcoin to an easier to use wallet (hot or cold).

Any advice is hugely welcome!!

Many thanks in advance!

I'm not sure the online version of Armory would work particularly well on a system with only 2 GB of RAM. On my Mac, BC Core alone takes up almost 350 MB of RAM, and Armory takes 400 MB, on top of the OS X overhead. You may have to try a computer with more RAM. You should also check blockchain.info to confirm that the transaction went through before initiating a restoration.

Thankfully the transaction did happen! (I found it on blockchain.info).

Can I only move it if Armory is fully functional? Is there no way for me to move it without having to get Armory started on another computer/synchronise Bitcoin QT again?

Thank you for your help!!

Yes, Armory must be fully synced on the online computer before any funds can be moved.
