Is there a way to transfer BTC from an offline wallet (Armory) to a new...

[deliciousdelux]

...wallet with import key feature?

If so, please help.


I have given up trying to get Armory online (I have spent hours and hours) and I have $30 stuck there.

Thanks in advance.

Btw, has Armory any kind of support?


Kind regards,
Martin

Edit,
I bought BTC via Safello, they switched from Segwit to Taproot

The best thing you can do is export your private key(s) from Armory and import it into another wallet like electrum.
Visit the link below and read the guide provided by HCP on how to export your private keys form Armory.

Re: update armory wallet 0.96

For importing the private key(s) into electrum, you need to select "Import bitcoin addresses or private keys" when creating a new wallet and enter your private key(s).

Warning:
Download electrum only from its official website and do not forget to verify your download.

So, Ive inserted ALL the keys in Electrum but the "Next-button" isn't highlighted. Only back.

There are two icons, QR-code and read file.


Edit,
I have Electrum 4.1.2

It should work, hope it is the real private key that you imported? You can use this guild for the private key importation

Importing your private keys into Electrum

Also, if you are importing multiple private keys, use below format:

If you have entered a valid private key into electrum, it should be possible to click on "Next" without any problem.
Didn't you entered any extra character when entering your private key(s) into electrum by any chance?

Your private keys should be like as shown in the image below.

[khaled0111]

If the Next button remain grayed out it means you didn't enter a valid private key.
When you exported your wallet private keys from Armory, did you follow the steps as per HCP's guide linked above? Specifically this part:

Select the following options: "Private Key (Plain Base58)","Include Unused (Address Pool)"... and make sure "Omit spaces in key data" is checked

Also, make sure to enter only one private key per line and that there are no white spaces at the beginning or the end of each line.

You only need to use the file or qrcode buttons when you have exported your keys in those formats.

They are all private keys.

All started with a 5.

I've checked for any spaces and stuff like that. I must have made an error somewhere, have to do it again - there are ALOT of keys...

[hosseinimr93]

that there are no white spaces at the beginning or the end of each line.

Electrum allow you to click on "Next" button and generate the addresses even if there are extra spaces either at the beginning of the private key, or at the middle or at the end.
Look at the image below. It's possible to click on "Next" button even with these extra spaces.

Try to import just one, see if that works.

Also: you only need to export the private key that holds your funds.

How do I know that (I'm pretty much a n00b)? All I have is the recieve-adress from Safello which I entered @ Armory.



Thank you all for your help!


Edit,
Please note:
I have only made one transfer to Armory (never again)

[hosseinimr93]

So, you only need to export the private key of the address you sent bitcoin to.

Check "Address String" when exporting private keys. (It's shown in the image below.)



Then try to find the address you sent bitcoin to. Copy its private key and paste it into electrum.
(The private key is below the address and in front of "PrivBase58".)

I can't tell you how to export just one private key, I've never used Armory by myself.

All I have for sure is the recipient adress, starts with bc1q (42 characters long)- all keys starts with 5. What am I missing?

What do you mean by recipient address? Do you mean the address you are going to send bitcoin to? If so, it can't help you.

When you deposited to Armory, you used an address for receiving bitcoin. That's the address you need to find in Armory. As Armory generates legacy addresses by default, it probably starts with 1.
If you don't know what was the address you used when receiving bitcoin, copy and paste all private keys into electrum. One of them should be associated with your address.
Note that private keys start with 5, K or L.

[LoyceV]

If you don't know what was the address you used when receiving bitcoin, copy and paste all private keys into electrum. One of them should be associated with your address.

If the address starts with "bc1q", you need to apply this when importing:

How To Import Segwit WIF ~ to Electrum
~
For P2WPKH addresses (Bech32, starting with 'bc1')
This time we'll add p2wpkh: in front of the private key.
For example

Code:

p2wpkh:5PrivateKey

This should generate the corresponding Bech32 address

There are approx 70 keys, I don't understand which one I should use "p2wpkh:5PrivateKey".

Again, sorry for being such an ....

I don't understand which one I should use "p2wpkh:5PrivateKey".

Each private key can create a few different address types. By adding p2wpkh: in front of it, you tell Electrum which one to use.

[hosseinimr93]

If the address starts with "bc1q", you need to apply this when importing:

The bc1q address OP is talking about can't be an Armory address. Armory doesn't generate bech32 addresses.

Armory generates legacy addresses (by default) and nested segwit addresses.
Armory also generates P2SH-P2PK addresses. As far as I know, Armory use a specific script type for generating these addresses and they can't be imported to electrum.

A took a random key and added p2wpkh: infront of it to se if "Next-button" was highlighted, It wasnt.

[khaled0111]

OP's problem is not whether his addresses are segwit or legacy. His problem is that he is importing invalid private keys or he's exported them from Armory in a format that Electrum does not accept. This is why the Next button is not clickable.
@OP, when you exported the private keys, did you check the "Private Key (Plain Base58)" box? Do the private keys start with "L" or "K"?
