Hey yall! I bought a bitcoin back in 2013 during the whole craze and at a high price, so when it crashed I lost interest for a bit. Now I'm older and more mature and see the value of the coin long term so I wanted to retrieve the coin.
Unfortunately I had it with cavirtex which then went out of business. They said everyone had to withdraw their funds or lose them.
So I was paranoid about security so I downloaded armory thinking it was one of the best. I realized I need to sync the block chain so started that. But it just took forever. Also I installed it on ubuntu! Eventually it was taking too long so I had created a wallet in armory before it fully synced since cavirtex had a deadline. At some point I forgot about it, and lost interest after the syncing process was taking weeks.
Anyways, I wanted to retrieve my coin now, and so I downloaded armory and the block chain on a new computer, synced it to like 100% after many many days...recovered the wallet I thought had the bitcoin...only to find that wallet said 0
Have I lost the bitcoin? I still have the old laptop I installed bitcoin and armory in it, but it's not loading Core anymore some error is coming up.
Not sure what I can do now
In the offline computer I went to wallet properties and checked that address in the block chain and I see no transactions
