Hello, I am a beginner in the world of bitcoin and opt for the most complicated way to make a transfer. A few days ago I wanted to withdrawal bitcoins from a page to pass them to my wallet, I created an armory wallet without knowing that I had to download 240 gb of bitcoincore, I used the adress that I generated by armory and now I have to wait 3 days to download all The blocks and know if the transaction is concrete. I need to know if there is any way to connect that wallet to blockchain or bitcoincore, or if when armory is online it will be my bitcoins and be able to use them. Thank you.
Sorry for my bad english.
First thing you have to understand about Bitcoin is that the coins are not in your wallet, they are "on the blockchain". The wallet only handles private keys.
This also means that:
1. You can see at any block explorer by only telling your address (make sure it's only the address, no seed or private key!) if the transaction took place. Please make sure there's at least one confirmation before you consider you indeed have the money.
2. A wallet contains the keys for multiple addresses, so if you have coins on multiple addresses and want to check the sum on block explorer you'll have to check all addresses separately.
3. You can spend at any time the money sent to you. For example, if not sync-ed yet you could export the private key or seed and use another wallet to spend your coins (warning! it's just an example and it's not advised to do this when you have hardware wallets, since this will make them insecure!).
