Armory

[Ed131313]

I'm new to bitcoin.  I didn't realize I had to download blockchain  inorder to armory to go online.   Funds were sent to my offline armory.        Is there any way to retreive those funds  bessides downloading 300+ Go of blockchain?!     I'm trying to tranfer my funds to an electrum wallet by I can't figure out how.   Nothing seems compatible. 

How should I proceed?

Click "Wallet Properties" then, "Backup This Wallet".
Check "Export Key Lists", then the button with the same name below, type your password and a window will open.
Check "Include Unused (Address Pool)", check "Omit spaces in key data" (below) and find your address from the list and copy its private key WIF (PrivBase58).

Download Electrum from the official site: electrum.org
Use, "Import Bitcoin addresses or private keys" when creating a new wallet, and paste your private key there.

Ok thank you very much .   I can see the end of the tunnel now...   

One more problem:   I've got the key!   But I can't click '' next''.   I have to add some sort of code in front of the key but I cant find the proper info.   My key starts with a 5.

Do youy know the proper code?

I figured out I had to add p2pkh:  in front of my key since the adress stars with a 1...   But still the damn thing won't let me click 'next'.   

I thought I was fairly intelligent untill tonight.   This thing is really getting to me...

 YAAAY    GOT IT!   

I had the keep the spaces afterall.   and not add p2pkh:


God damn computers. 


Anyway,  thanks again

I had the keep the spaces afterall.   and not add p2pkh:

Whoa, it shouldn't have any spaces and will work by just pasting the private key WIF (uncompressed: 51-characters that starts with '5'),
Electrum will derive the p2pkh address by default.

But it worked at the end so, congrats.
