Hello, everyone. I am extremely new to bitcoins, and so far I am only capable of following written online guides to navigate my way.

I created a Watch-Only wallet in order to require verification from two computers before sending bitcoins. I had no difficulties receiving bitcoins to said wallet. However, when I attempt to begin the process of sending bitcoins from this Watch-Only wallet (using online computer), the "Continue" button does nothing. I enter in the address and the amount I wish to send, but the "Continue" button does nothing despite NOT being graded out.

If I enter in an amount that exceeds my wallet's balance and click "Continue," a notification does come up. If I leave the recipient or amount box blank, clicking "Continue" does prompt an error message. So why is this button only unresponsive when my information is correct? Am I missing something stupid? Thanks!

Edit: The "Send" button also does NOT work when dealing with a regular wallet.

You cannot send Bitcoin from a watch only wallet. A watch only wallet does not contain the private keys which are necessary for signing transactions. Without the private keys your transaction will not be valid. When you click Continue it should have another window pop up somewhere with the transaction for Offline Signing. Are you sure that that window doesn't pop up anywhere?

Also what version of Armory are you using?

Thank you for that reply. I understand that sending bitcoins is a multi-step process that involves two computers and signing. However, it is my understanding that it all begins with the online computer.

Clicking the "Continue" button results in no pop-up. Any idea why?  Embarrassed I am using version 93.3. During the first update, there were some errors I had to "ignore" in order to continue. I am using Windows 10, 64-bit.

Not sure. Have you tried simply restarting the program or the computer?

I'm not sure what is wrong. Submit a bug report and the developers should help you. Go to Help > Submit Bug Report and follow the instructions.
