Hello!
I am new to bitcoin and Armory.
I purchased $1000 worth via Coinbase.
Then I downloaded Armory from
https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/downloadBeing this my first time,
not realizing how exactly the whole thing works,
(not sure the software was installed successfully nor
configured properly)
- I created a wallet
- I clicked on the wallet and on receive bitcoins
- a window popped up with an address
- I clicked on BACK UP THIS WALLET
After the successful backup,
- I initiated a transfer at coinbase website
- with destination address same as given by wallet
- received a successful transanction
After naively thinking that everything would miraculously sync up
upon my starting Armory,
nothing happened.
- the balance shows: (...)
- "Offline" reads on the bottom right corner
I uninstalled and downloaded
https://btcarmory.com/0.96.3-release/I restored my wallet with the backup generated.
- the balance shows: (...)
- "Offline" reads on the bottom right corner
I downloaded Bitcoin Core, but it takes a really long time, going on two days now.
I contacted Coinbase to try and cancel the transaction,
but they said that could not be done.
And that in order to receive the funds I would have to make sure to
CLAIM THE ADDRESS.
I don't really know what that means.
Have I lost my investment due to my complete lack of knowledge,
or what is my next step here...
Anybody...
thnx
