Hello Fellas and Bellas,

A friend of a friend has an issue (i.e. me).

I have been a happy Armory user since 2014 (0.9.0 editions). But recently, as we all know the Blockchain has grown FAR too big and its not quite viable to locally run Bitcoin Core anymore. And to be quite frank, its all too cumbersome for an ageing fellow like myself.

So to cut to the chase, im switching to none other than Electrum (for the mean time. Hope to come back to Armory, one day).

I have mapped out the migration process with precision, as one should. However when looking through my extensive address archive on one of my wallets (my most active wallet) it clearly shows quite a few Change Addresses ([Change Received]) which do infact contain bitcoins according to a quick check i made on blockchain.info

Now my question is obvious. Am i right in thinking Armory will provide me with the private keys for these "Change Received" addresses and is it also correct to sweep EVER SINGLE private key related to my Armory wallet into Electrum (even the zero balance Change Received addresses) ? As you would agree, I am naturally inclined to ensure zero loss (spillage) of my Bitcoins.

Your thoughts please.

Yes you will get the private keys to those change addresses. Yes you do need to sweep all of those keys into Electrum in order to spend the Bitcoin associated with them.
