update armory wallet 0.96

one more question yall, just seen the balances are watch only , means i cant spend em ? and how can i change that if even possible. just to look at it doesnt make much sense thx

Are you sure you imported a private key and not an address?
A base58 encoded private key starts with 5 while addresses only start with 1 or 3 in Armory.

[ragman77777]

umm well then , i guess its adresses , they all start with a 1 , i wish u had more time to get into this , makes me feel like an idiot . what im supposed to do now ?!

[ragman77777]

think i know what i did wrong , under the adress is the priv key 58 , thats the one i need to import correct ?

Correct When you copy them make sure there are no spaces: The "Omit spaces in key data" checkbox will fix that for you.

As far as I can tell that only happens when you have a space in the private key. No spaces between 5 and the rest of it either.
bob123's command should do the job.

Make sure that you ticked the "Omit spaces in key data" as per the pics here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4746784.msg43432393#msg43432393


That way the key will be exported without any spaces in it... and you can simply copy/paste into Bitcoin Core when using the importprivkey command

[ragman77777]

it finally works without space , awesome , rescan takes forever but other then that THANKS YALL 

[HCP]

Yeah... if you use "false" at the end of the command as suggested earlier... it won't rescan.

Like this:

Code:

importprivkey 5xblahblahPrivKeyblahblah "" false

NOTE: the empty "" is a "label" that you can apply to the imported addresses (the label shows up on the "receiving addresses..." screen and in transaction history etc, but isn't necessary to populate it, hence why you can simply use "")


Then, on the last key that you want to import, you leave the end part out, for instance:

Code:

importprivkey 5xblahlastPrivKeyToImportblah

And then it will do a rescan and scan ALL your addresses. It can save quite a bit of time if you are importing lots of addresses.

works all fine , just a little time consuming but thats fine , any of you guys know if bitcoin core does take bitcoin cash ?

What do you mean by that? They're incompatible systems. Neither will work on the other. The only connection is that Cash forked off from Core last year, meaning people who had X number of coins on Core before the fork had X number of coins on both Core and Cash after the fork.

[HCP]

Bitcoin Core = Bitcoin

Bitcoin ABC = Bitcoin Cash

As droak has mentioned, the two currencies operate on completely separate networks with completely separate blockchains. If you want your Bitcoin Cash (BCH), then you'll need a Bitcoin Cash wallet like Bitcoin ABC (https://www.bitcoinabc.org/) or Electron Cash (https://electroncash.org/) or one of the ones listed here: https://www.bitcoincash.org/#wallets

[droark]

It's worth noting that Armory may or may not work with the current BCH network. The basic idea from goatpig was to provide just enough support last year to allow people to access their coins and either sell them or move them to wallets/exchanges that would have continuous BCH support. One or two hard forks have occurred since the initial fork. It might be possible for coders to tweak Armory such that it works on the latest fork. I don't know. Users are on their own when it comes to BCH at this point.
