cant see bitcoins in wallet

[jclark95]

I got some bitcoins a while ago and it was confirmed on the block chain that they had been sent to my wallet. Now i cant see them in my wallet, when I start armory it says its disconnected from Bitcoin Core but when armory starts it says that it is online. Bitcoin core is up to date. Can anybody help?

I Have couple of questions
1- can you still see the balance in a block explorer, such as blockchair?
2- do you have the seed (12-24 words ) or the private keys?

This must be a sync bug  .
If you can still see the balance in any blockexplorer download electrum.org wallet, import the wallet using your seed and you will be fine.

no and no

no and no

So you can't see your balance on a block explorer? Do you see any unknown outgoing transaction on your Transactions list?

I'll ask a mod to move your thread to the Armory board, where one of the devs may help you out better.

edit: nvm, you already posted there.

no and no

If you save that address and today you do not see any bitcoin or satoshi in that address by checking it with block explorer, it means your bitcoin was moved or you saved an inaccurate address.

Without private key or mnemonic seed, you lose your chance to recover your wallet. By that I meant, you lost your bitcoin (even it has still been in that wallet and not yet been moved out)

Can you share your address with us? We can check it in the block explorer to try to figure out what happened.

If someone move your coins you might have been hacked.

You don't need to create multiple topics for a single problem. Your previous thread cant see bitcoins in wallet

I'll ask a mod to move your thread to the Armory board, where one of the devs may help you out better.

I suggested OP to move his/her previous topic to Armony childboard but he did not move it and created a new topic instead.

You can move your topic to this child board Wallet software (Armony).
Also you need to edit your topic title: I can not see bitcoin in my Armony wallet.

OP, please see this topic as well: [READ] Post Armory, MultiBit, Electrum, or online wallets in the right forum

oh, I have the root key

when I did this I didnt save these because it was confirmed on the block chain that they had been to my wallet.

Armory does not follow BIP39 and therefore also doesn't provide the option of backing the coins up via a mnemonic code.
It uses a "root key" instead of a human-readable mnemonic key.

Therefore the only option to import it into electrum would be to either import the xpriv or each private key individually.

Ok, please answer all of my following questions:

Go to https://www.blockchain.com/explorer, put your Bitcoin address in the box and press enter. You will be redirected to the explorer page of your address.

If you don't know your addresses, you can click "Wallet Properties" and check the ones you used on "Used Addresses" and "Change Addresses".

1. Is the final balance of the address correct? Or does it have 0 BTC?
2. Do you see any outgoing transaction that you didn't remember making?


In case you just want to import your wallet on Electrum, a lightweight SPV wallet, like suggested above:

1. Select your wallet and go to "Backup this wallet".
2. Click on "See Other Backup Options" -> select "Export Key Lists" -> click on "Export Key Lists".
3. A new dialog will show up. Select only "Private key (Plain Base58)" and "Omit spaces in key data".

Now, download Electrum[1], verify the pgp signature (tutorial) and do the following to import your private keys:

1. In the "new wallet" wizard select "Standard wallet" -> "Use public or private keys"
2. Enter the private keys you took from Armory into the textbox.
3. After importing the private keys, you should see your balance, if any.

final balance is 0 and all the transactions say 0 

[HCP]

final balance is 0 and all the transactions say 0 

If the final balance on the block explorer says 0... then the address has 0 coins. So either:

1. It never received any coins.
or
2. Any received coins were subsequently spent after being received.


By "all the transactions say 0", do you mean that is shows like this address, where everything is 0:



Or that it shows transactions > 0 and has some values for received/sent but final balance is 0, like this address:
