If it never got broadcast, then double-click on the transaction, Copy Raw Tx (Hex), then paste here and submit: https://blockchain.info/pushtx

There's no guarantee that Tx is valid at this point. If you can't broadcast it like Justus advised, then the network won't accept it and you'll have to clear your ZC mempool. Go to Help -> Clear All Unconfirmed

I am a returning Armory user.  I moved to Blockchain but they have not kept up so I'm back.
I loaded up the latest version, .92.3 and predictably it took overnight, plus some to download the blockchain.  I'm on a new laptop so it had to do it from scratch.
I let it sit for a few days and just today I made a hot wallet.  Now it tells me it's going to take another 7 hours to build databases.  I thought it already did this on the initial download.  Is this normal?

Yes the disk is doubled now because people were complaining about memory

Pretend I'm a 5 year old.

Armory is importing the Bitcoin blockchain to its own format. This way it needs less RAM, hence it runs better on small devices.

5 year olds probably shouldn't be using Armoury, unless they are unusually gifted 5 yos.

The key word was pretend.

Importing in it's own format is well and good.  But does that explain why it appears to be building databases twice in three days?

Hey there! I am a beginner , in addition I do not speak English fluently. So I apologize for being too simple questions and mistakes in advance.

I installed the Armory on a separate physical disk D: I pointed Armory "Bitcoin Install Dir" D:\Bitcoin and "Bitcoin Home Dir" D:\Bitcoin. Armory downloaded and installed the bitcoin-qt in D:\Bitcoin.
However, I have a paradox.
Armory contains a chain of blocks of size 33Gb in C:\Users\ .... \AppData\Roaming\Armory\databases\leveldb_blkdata
and bitcoin-qt contains a chain of blocks of size 32Gb in D:\Bitcoin\blocks.
At the C: drive has NO place. At the D: drive has A LOT OF places. Number of blocks is constantly growing. I am in a panic.

Please tell me how to transfer Armory chain blocks from drive C: to drive D:?

Thanks in advance.

I'm very sorry, but I do not understand ...
I has placed Armory on a separate physical disk D:\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe
On the physical disk D: free space is 32Gb.

You must edit your shortcut that starts armory to match your setup

Move the directory and data first, roaming armory to d:armory

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe" --satoshi-datadir=F:\Bitcoin --datadir=F:\Armory --dbdir=F:\Armory

Change F to D, this is the shortcut you need on the desktop

Keep armoryqt.exe in c: it's very small, reinstall and leave it

But it looks like your d will also be full after moving right?

Armory doubles the Bitcoin data use. You might just want to use electrum until you get a bigger d

I have an odd thing.  I did a wallet to wallet transaction within my Armory.  My dashboard shows zero confirmation, but the blockchain is showing 12.  I shut the program down and restarted it.  Still the same thing.  0 confirmations in Armory.  Any suggestions?

Do a rescan. Mine loses transactions frequently. Try restarting Bitcoin first. Sometimes it gets stuck on an orphan.

So shutting armory and restarting it does not rescan?  What step do I need to take to rescan?

I think its in help. It takes a while. Dont rebuild.

I recently updated my online machine to 0.92.3 and was wondering if there is any need, or there will ever be a need to update the software on my offline computer.  I believe I'm running 0.90 on that one.
In the same vein, is there any reason for me to worry that my hard copies wouldn't work in the future?  Say I put them in a safe deposit box and then died.  Would my kids be able to use the same codes to recover my bitcoins in Armory 16.8.0 in 15 years?

It should always be backwards compatible but you should keep the old installers saved. But it's open source, anyone can make a tool to parse.

Now your offline must be updated I think after .90.1

Thanks for the quick response.  So my paper backups should be good forever but keep old versions of the software just in case.  Cool.
I just checked and I'm running 0.90-beta on my offline computer.  You're saying I should be at version 0.90.1 or higher for compatibility?
Is this something that will need to be continually updated or it's due to a one time change?
