I deleted Electrum wallet and inserted the private keys again. This time it worked.
Thank you so much, you`re my hero.

I imported the PrivBase58 into Electrum wallet and I can see my balance, but it is a watching-only-wallet.
How can I change that so I can send them?

It seems something went wrong with the import into Electrum. If it is "watching-only", then you have not imported the private key, you have imported the public key. So, make sure you are copy/pasting the correct field from the Armory export.

These are my recommended settings when exporting from Armory to import the keys into Electrum:

Note that the "PrivBase58" will most likely start with a "5", it should have no spaces (use the "omit spaces" option as shown) and it should be 51 characters long.

You should be able to import this into Electrum using the "Import Bitcoin Address or private keys" option when creating a wallet:

And simply paste in the private key(s) that match the address(es) that you sent coins to:

This will create an "imported" wallet with the address(es) and you should be able to send:

Armory wallet needs to synchronize with a node. If you don't have bitcoin core running a node and you don't sync Armory wallet with it, you will not see or be able to spend your bitcoin.

If you don't want to run a node, you can extract your private key from Armory and import it into a "light" software client, such as Electrum.

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with Armory.
I already googled a lot and also searched this forum for hours, hope someone can help me.

I downloaded Armory wallet and sent Bitcoin there before it was synced and online.
After synchronization and when it was online it said 0 Bitcoin.

On blockchain you can see I have received the Bitcoin: https://www.blockchain.com/de/btc/address/14fk14sfaiPx1WKWZVxzQtRAnbCUzAcVsQ

I have a paper backup with secure code and I could extract the private keys: PrivBase58 and PrivHexBE.

I imported the PrivBase58 into Electrum wallet and I can see my balance, but it is a watching-only-wallet.
How can I change that so I can send them?

Or is there any other way I can get to my Bitcoin?

Best regards,
Stephan
