I haven't received my bitcoins

[j_clark]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help, in my wallet I haven't received some bitcoins I purchased yesterday, they have been confirmed on the block chain : https://blockchain.info/tx/beb0119a500ee2f1031c417631975862aa7b4415bc09b0e2d71252fb345e3a8e

but they aren't in my wallet. I've re scanned my balance and checked to see if there is anything wrong with my wallet but it says nothing is. In the bottom right corner of the Armory window it says Node Offline, I wonder if this is the problem?

Thanks, please help,

Yes, that is exactly the problem.

You need to have Bitcoin Core installed and synchronized with the block chain.  After installing Bitcoin Core, start it and let it download the blockchain.  It is a 150 GB download and takes a few days on a fast machine with a fast internet connection.  Once Bitcon Core is up to date, you can use Armory, and the full power of a very advanced bitcoin wallet is at your fingertips.  But there is this hurdle to pass first. 

If downloading 150 GB of blockchain data is a no-no, then you can click on the wallet and select Wallet Properties.  There you can find a dialog for exporting the private keys.  You can then import them into another wallet.

Ah ha!

I thought I had the bitcoin core ... been a while since i've used my wallet, thanks!!!

Hi,

So, I am experiencing the same issue. I sent BTC from Coinbase to my wallet and am not seeing anything. So what you are saying is that I have to download 150 gigs in order for the transaction to process??? For real??? If I would have known that's how this works I wouldn't have downloaded the wallet in the first place. You said I use the private keys? Can you explain this more in depth. I'm not so tech savvy and need some help. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Exporting the keys is described here - you just need the key for the bitcoin address you actually used:

http://docs.bitshares.org/muse/migration/howto-exporting-wallet-clients.html  (near the bottom of the page).

Then you can import it into another client (like Electrum).

The reason you have to download the entire blockchain is that it is the only way you can verify that you actually did receive the bitcoins, without trusting anybody else.  Other wallets like Electrum rely on a pool of servers that do this work for you.

Just one thing to add regarding this... as your Armory is not synced (and never will be without the Bitcoin Core block data to work with)... you will need to make sure that you tick the box that says "include unused (Address Pool)"... Otherwise, NONE of your private keys will show up.

I'd also recommend ticking the "Address String" box as well... that way you can find the private key for the address you actually used... rather than importing ALL of them

So if I understand well I have two ways to get back my btc:
- download 150 gigabyte date
- export the keys from Armory and receive btc on another client like etherum

I'm having a similar problem, I've installed Armory, I have the bitcoin daemon synced up, Armory tells me I'm online and nodes are connected, but I'm not seeing the BTC in my wallet.  I can see the transaction online to the receive address but I can't see the transaction or balance in Armory.  Any suggestions?

Then you need to export the private keys and then import them into another Bitcoin wallet

1. Wallet Properties
2. Backup This Wallet
3. See other backup options
4. select "export keys list"
5. click "export keys list"
6. Select "Address String", "Private key (Plain Base58)", "Include unused (Address Pool)", "Omit spaces in key data"

All your addresses/private keys will be displayed in the text window. You should be able to see the key that matches the address you sent bitcoins to. You can either copy/paste or save to a text file etc...

Then get another wallet that allows you to import (or sweep) private keys... I'd recommend Electrum (electrum.org/#download) given that you don't want a full node.

Thank you i did and find ewerything you told me.

[taurelius]

Hmm, how do i find the address i sent bitcoins to?

I am experiencing a problem like this.
Weeks ago I installed Armory, made a wallet, hit the button receive bitcoins and bought for a certain amount bitcoins.
Then later I found out I had to download the bitcoin core, so I did that.
Weeks later it was downloaded and I was very unpleased to see that in Armory my balance was still zero.
If I go to address book in Armory, I can see the address with what I made the purchase of my bitcoins.
Unfortunately here is the balance zero as well.

What to do, anybody??
Thanks

Have you downloaded Bitcoin Core 0.15.0.1? Have you allowed it to fully sync (~180 GB worth of downloaded data)? Is Armory showing "Online" in green in the lower-right corner of the main screen?

Yes, v0.15.0.1
It is in sync
It is not showing "online"

[droark]

Just to confirm, you've turned off auto-management in Armory (it's problematic) and are running Core at the same time as Armory? If so, please post your logs.

[brutus500]

I will check that tomorrow.

[brutus500]

Today I ran bitcoin core again to fully sync. It is not doing anything now, so it is in sync.
In Armory I turned off: File>Settings>Let Armory run Bitcoin Core/bitcoind.....
Is that the same as this: "turned off auto-management in Armory (it's problematic)"?

In the center Armory says in big green letters it is online.
In the lower right corner it says Node Offline (461962 blocks).

Any idea?
Wich logs should I post? Can I do that here?
