Help me please, Armory wasn't configured first time I sent me bitcoins ...

[ricardozo]

Hello guys

I have a big worry, I open a Wallet in Armory at first time open software, I sent me some bitcoins, now I synchronize Armory but this bitcoin doesn't appear.

The transaction actually is in the block chain.

Any one can give me some advice? 

Thanks in advance.

First, are you sure that your Armory wallet are synchronized correctly and loaded up to the latest block?
Next, check and make sure that you've sent your coins to the right address, which in this case is your armory address.
Last, are your transaction are already confirmed by the miner and already included in the block ?
one of the first mistakes newbies make are not realizing that transactions need to be included in a block first before it appears on your wallet.

If everything else fails, try to head to Armory sub-forum, there are a bunch of guys ready to help you out with your problem

Can you post your transaction id here?
You might have sent too low a fee and they haven't been included in the latest blocks.
Look for a transaction accelerator if this is the case.

Hello again guys, was a totally newbie mistake  .

I have the hash    b5f537aaf1cff76dd2877ce211d5ae7ea5c88a3d

I just installed armory, open a Wallet and used the code genereted by my wallet 1Hb74jFwLzXjpa98m2KEgwwbF4NEyZwmV2

Then I sinchronized Armory connection, but transaction doesn't appear.

I'm totally lost

Thanks in advance.

According to Blockchain, you have sent 0.005 Bitcoin to 1Hb74jFwLzXjpa98m2KEgwwbF4NEyZwmV2
If that's your address, your coin should appear on your Armory wallet.
I don't use armory, but on the bottom right there should be an indicator whether you are connected to the nodes or not like this image for example :


If you still have problem with it, I might suggest ask the sub-forum, I've posted the link on my previous reply.

Edit: Didn't realized that this topic was already moved to Armory, whoops

First things first... when you say you "synchronize" Armory... do you actually have Bitcoin Core installed and fully synced? All 170+ Gigs of blockchain?

Armory requires that you have Bitcoin Core installed and synced.

If you don't have the connection or disk space to download the whole blockchain, it'd be best if you use SPV wallet instead such as Electrum.
On Electrum all you had to do is to connect to Bitcoin Node and download the latest header, which is only a few megabytes.
I'm sure you can import Armory wallet into Electrum easily in just a few clicks

Private keys will need to be exported and then imported/swept into Electrum. Relatively easy since the address is P2PKH, but Armory doesn't use the same wallet format as others, making it a bit more complex.

Thanks a lot guys, I'll try Electrum, I will tell you the result.

Thanks a lot again guys you are awesome!!! Finally I have my bitcoins with you and Electrum save me.
