New to Armory, please help

[neilwy]

Okay So I downloaded Armory, sent my btc to an address I get from Armory, realize that I need bitcoin core, so I download that. Bitcoin core took a whole day to scan my network, now I start up Armory and It's organizing Blockchain for a day plus! Also, what is going on when I click receive bitcoins and a random address pops up? Why isn't there only 1 address to receive bitcoins from? Is there a way to look at how many btc I have on BitcoinCore? Thanks.

It is recommended for privacy reasons to generate new addresses for each new transaction. Otherwise it would be very easy to track your payment history. If you want to use the same one over and over that is fine too, but now you know why to avoid it.

You can check the balance of the address you sent your BTC to with a block explorer.

How do I do that?

How do I do that?

Go here and enter the address or transaction https://blockchain.info/

Someone sent me the btc and I don't know how to get the address since I can't see my transactions. Armory is still organizing blockchain...

Ask that person for the address you provided or the transaction ID then!

Sure thing! Any idea on how to solve Armory organizing blockchain for over a day?

Yes, you need to update your version of Armory. The one you are using (Version 0.96-beta-a3d01aa722) is VERY old.

Get v0.96.4 RC1 - https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases/tag/v0.96.3.99
