how long should it take to show btc in my wallet after sending them?

[mikoslav]

Hello I am new to btc transactions.

I bought 2 bitcoins and had them in an online wallet on blockchain.info.

This morning I decided to move 1 of them to my armory wallet I had created on my PC, so I ofc generated an address to receive bitcoins
and I used this address in my blockchain.info wallet as an address to send bitcoins.

so for now (after 10 hours) it shows on my blockchain.info/wallet page as a confirmed transaction with 30 confirmations,
but I still cant see it in my armory wallet I had sent it to.

can anyone tell me how long it can take to show my bitcoins in my armory wallet after the transaction was made?

Am I missing something?

I'm confused.  You're talking about it as if you set a receiving address and used them to send?  If you click the send button on Blockchain and do as it says you shouldn't be thinking about what address you're sending from.  Are you sure you actually send these Bitcoins? Can you give the transaction ID so that we can check it?

I used a "receive bitcoins" feature of armory wallet installed in my pc. and address that was generated I used on my onlin blockchain.info/wallet page as the address I should send to.

which one is the transaction ID? some number I suspect , but which one?

Is the block chain synced on Core? 457088 blocks at the time of this post.

green number at the right bottom of armory shows 455311

Your node is behind by ~1.5 weeks. You need to be fully synced in order to see recent transactions. Shut down Armory and open up just Bitcoin Core and let it sync. If Bitcoin Core is synced, then Armory's databases have an issue, in which case you will need to rebuild and rescan the databases.

If new users do not understand that the Bitcoin Core node has to be fully synced before use the directions and warnings need to be improved.

Indeed.
I do not understand how do I synchronize btc core apart from executing bitcoin-qt, which downloads blocks until it stops and looks synchronized.

then again if I remember correctly I had problems installing armory, and had to do the trick I found in this Forum by unticking setting's option of "Let Armory Run bitcoin core in the background" and running bitcoin-qt to sync.

I am using latest armory release - I should have specified this in the first post, but I assumed the nature of the problem is different.

so now I think the problem is of the nature similar or exact even as here in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1790203.0.

My Armory has not been able to manage the core nor sync with it in any way since the installation.
 
therefore I think my thread should be maybe renamed to:
"My 0.95.1 Armory has not synced with core since its installation - why?"

is it possible for Forum moderator to do that?

That's all you need to do. When you open Core, you should not see any out-of-sync overlay or a green bar at the bottom. If you hover over the checkmark at the bottom right hand corner, it will tell you how many blocks it has synced. Compare that to a block explorer to check if you are in sync.

If Core is in sync, then Armory somehow got off sync. With Core running, start Armory. Go to Help > Rebuild and Rescan Databases and click Yes. Then restart Armory. This should fix your problems.

thank you for the answer.
My logical mind is telling me you are of course right.
Just did that... waiting till it builds, shows as 22% 25 more minutes now.


It solved my problem. Thank you again.
