So, I first heard of Armory last night and decided to start using it instead of my current wallet, Exodus. So, I accidentally went on the wrong website(bitcoinarmory.com) nut I figured it'd be alright and wouldn't matter. So, I downloaded the latest version and started it up. When I started it up, there was no Dashboard and it said it was "Offline" in the bottom right corner. Again, I didn't think it was an issue as I've never used the wallet before. So I create a wallet, print off the keys, make a password, etc. I then click on "Receive Bitcoins", copied it, then clicked "done". After all that, I went on exodus, pasted the address, and sent all my Bitcoin(only .16 because I'm poor.) But, nothing showed in my wallet.... it's now at over 6 confirmations and still, nothing shows in my wallet. So, I found out that you need Bitcoin Core, which would've been nice to know, so I downloaded it. Still, no bitcoins, not even in the "Unconfirmed" section PLEASE someone help D:

Bitcoin Core needs to be fully synced before Armory will show the balance. This requires ~160GB of storage space and will take a while. You also need the correct version of Armory, not the version from the old site. See the sticky for 0.96.4 RC1.
Friendly heads up, you need to do your research instead of assuming everything will be alright and won't matter. It will likely bite you in the ass if you don't look into things more carefully in the future.

Okay, thank you so much! Bitcoin Core is syncing now. You're right!

Have you checked the address on a block explorer website to verify that the coins have been sent?
If you need quick access, you can always start Armory in offline mode and extract the private key of the address you send the bitcoins to, then import it into another wallet.
|
If you aren't the sole controller of your private keys, you don't have any bitcoins.

Can you please post your logs on Pastebin? Also, how many blocks does Armory say it has processed when it's online?

It's all stuck at this EVERY time that I open it. Even after deleting and re-installing: https://gyazo.com/e8102507d57a2d5434b76b8796c5c0d8

Again, can you please post your logs? Also, please confirm which versions of Armory and Core you're running, and whether or not Core is running while Armory's running (both must be run at the same time).

Sorry, since I'm new, I'm not aloud to post/reply frequently. Bitcoin Core and Armory are both up-to-date versions. yes, they are running side by side as well. Here is my Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/HTjkxUnz

Thanks. Can you also post the CPP log, and try 0.96.4 RC1? Looks like you're still running 0.96.3.

It's more likely the problem will show up in the dbLog.txt Sorry, since I'm new, I'm not aloud to post/reply frequently. Bitcoin Core and Armory are both up-to-date versions. yes, they are running side by side as well. Here is my Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/HTjkxUnzThat isn't what was asked... saying "I'm running the up-to-date versions", DOES NOT tell us what versions of Armory you are running... given that you originally went to bitcoinarmory.com and didn't realise that you needed Bitcoin Core to make Armory work, and freely admit to not knowing how any of this program works... how do you know what the "up-to-date versions" are? Please give the version numbers... For instance, from the log you are running 0.96.3 (which by the way, ISN'T the most up-to-date version). Go here and get v0.96.4 RC1 (aka 0.96.3.99): https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases

Steady now, people are busy over the holiday period. Provided you know the password for your wallet and the wallet definitely contains that address, your coins are not lost. Gotta work with us, though - if you don't give us the info and follow the instructions given it is going to be an awful lot more difficult to help you. Have you actually downloaded and installed Armory 0.96.4 RC1/ 0.96.3.99 as instructed? Report back once you've done that, okay?

You still haven't posted the "regular" Armory log, just the CPP and DB log. We need the other one (armorylog.txt).
Also, if possible (and you're not on Windows, as there's an issue that requires a workaround for now), please download 0.96.4 RC2. Thanks.

If you just want to extract your private keys: Wallet Properties -> Backup this wallet -> see other backup options -> select 'Export keys list' -> Click 'Export keys list' button Then make sure that ONLY the following are selected: - Address String - Private Key (Plain Base58) - Include unused (Address pool) - Omit spaces from key data This will give you a list of ALL the pre-generated addresses in your wallet... theoretically the first one should be the address that was displayed when clicking on "Receive Bitcoins"... Note that they will all say "Unused" as your Armory is not synced correctly so has not detected any transaction. Try putting the ADDRESS (NOT the private key!) into a block explorer like www.blockchain.info to confirm you have the right one and that it has BTC balance Then, you can import/sweep the private key containing your coins to another wallet.

What is the PrivBase58? Edit: Can you please tell me or link me how to Import the keys to a new wallet? Thank you soo much! Edit#2: I imported the private key to blockchain.info. When I did, a different wallet loaded with no BTC? I sent the BTC to 3PYrcjUhjyDQyXuZodSCFga6KdE3QumxWV. Which showed up when I followed your previous step. So I copied the PrivBase58 that was under it and impoted it to blockchain, but then it said the address was 1GccL4XvHsNmrnco8P11Uee5jE6dKZAHMq. not the one it's supposed to be? Edit#3: Ummmm both wallet addresses have the same Hash 160... https://gyazo.com/ec526e6837bbd4132a267b7c6767b5d0 https://gyazo.com/9fa1d16a602976f81846a2e20c545a5d
