Oh my god, I LOVE ARMORY! ARMORY SAVED MY BITCOINS FROM GETTING STOLEN!

[awesome31312]

So Armory has a passphrase that protects your wallet by encrypting it in case the wallet.dat file is stolen by someone. Now I had the passphrase written on a sheet of paper on my wallet, and a backup copy of the passphrase at home.

I was walking around town, some guy tried to mug me. "Give me your money!" he fiercely yelled. "I'm sorry, I only got Bitcoin", I replied. The mugger then took my armory passphrase. I went home sobbing, and called the cops.

Five years later, the cops started working on the case. They found out who the mugger was, they went inside his house, there they saw him opening Armory, he had the wallet.dat and was about to open the wallet. Armory was, as usual, stuck on "Synchronizing with network"

The robber then yelled "PIECE OF SHIT KEEPS LAGGING AND CRASHING ON ME!"

The cops said "That's a security feature of the beta version, your Bitcoins will be so safe, nobody will be able to touch them, not even someone who has the passphrase"

You got it all wrong on many levels but I'll try to keep it as short as possible: get the latest version of armory (0.91.2). It builds a local database without storing the full blockchain in RAM, wait for a few hours during the first synchronization and then armory start up will be almost immediate.

If it's still too slow your hardware is not good enough to run the online instance of armory, upgrade it or use a different software.

I came in here expecting OP to tell a true story about how his air gapped Armory saved his coin from being hacked. I did not expect a humorous attack on Armory. Not bad. 

If your edit out "five years later", the whole story will be much more believable.

Well, for all we know, in five years it'll take three months to synchronize with the network, so that's a plus
