Armory Problem - Possibly lost some Bitcoins

[coinlee]

Hello all,

I switched over from armory to another wallet provider. Due to the fact armroy was getting harder to maintain on my laptop (bigger blockchain).

To do the switch over, i manually had to get ALL my private keys out of armory and then sweep each and every key into my new wallet. When i got through the list of private keys, i doubled checked my balance (on my new wallet) and compared it to the balance i had on armory when it (armory) was last fully online and synced (i always have my balances written down). But my new balance (after the mass private key exportation/sweeping) is  short by about 10%.

I did some more digging and i manually checked each and every address i "swept" from (i.e. all the addresses provided by armory in the backup including all change addresses) on block explorer and i did the math. Its still 10% short of the last balance last shown by Armory. Which is a considerable number of missing bitcoins.

I know the last balance shown by armory was 100% correct because i was able to send a couple of coins out of  armory and that transaction went through as normal.

I also noticed there were some change addresses which were completely un-used (not 1 transaction recorded) when i checked on block explorer.

Any ideas as to where these coins could be?

Did you open up armory to do this? If not, whatever you are using to get your keys may not be up to date, especially if you spent or received some Bitcoin so it may not have all of the addresses that actually have Bitcoin on them.

Yes I exported all my private keys from armory. So I'm wondering where the extra balance could be?  And I'm certain the last balance shown on my account was 100% accurate as armory was fully synced and online.

The simplest path forward is to sync Armory. Otherwise, pro actively extend your address chain and sweep the look up as well.

May I ask what the look up is?

[goatpig]

Your wallet will always track 100 addresses ahead of the last used address as the lookup.

Thank you for clarifying that for me. I will reinstall armory on another pc and recover my wallet through the seed. And hopefully that will resolve things. Is there anything else I should do?

Be sure to use Armory version 0.94.1, the old versions will be completely unwieldy to set up with today's blockchain size (even version 0.93.x)

[coinlee]

Thanks and yes I'm installing the latest bitcoin core and latest armory.

OK i cant seem to find 0.94 armory anywhere. On the armory site, it only goes up to version 0.93.

Ok im sad to say im still at a considerable loss.
I have installed the latest armory client (0.94.1) and the latest bitcoin core (0.13) on my PC. It all works as it should and i have recovered my wallet (via my seed) on to this fresh set up.

My missing balance is still not showing. I scanned and rebuilt database with the wallet backed-up. Its still considerably short (10% short). Im wondering is there anyway i can check the last displayed online balance, on my original armory on my laptop. If that make any sense?
Like is there a way (debug or other way) to show my last known balance as shown when the system was last online? Im 100% sure i keep my balances 100% accurate but i feel as though im going crazy here and literally doubting myself.

Any advise would be welcome.

Armory does not store your balance data in the logs.

I advise you to go through every single address in your wallet and look them up in a block explorer. Then add up how much Bitcoin it should have and see if that matches what the wallet says or what you previously recorded.

I have already done that manually (checked every address on blockexplorer) . And its 10% shorter than what was last shown by armory.

Then that means you recorded the wrong numbers or there was a spend between when you recorded it and now.
