SUCCESSFUL
THANKS HCP and PhoenixFire FOR THE HELP!

OK, for all the people stuck trying to figure out how to get your money from Armory to Bitcoin Core Wallet RPC, this is for you.

#1 Extract your Private keys from Wallet.
#2 Open Bitcoin Core Wallet RPC>Help>Debug Window
#3 (If wallet is locked with passphrase) In the Debug Window, enter walletpassphrase . Say I want to open it for 2 minutes (120 secs), I would enter the following code in the Debug window. After it will say "null"
Example:

Code:

walletpassphrase Armoryb389DxsfSEOfh 120

#4 Now that your wallet is unlocked, import private keys.

Single Key:
importprivkey
Example:

Code:

importprivkey 5KY1LjY0UyagrqcRX2riD3fFJNJPBpSPo

Multiple Keys: (When Importing Multiple Private Keys follow command below but add "true" instead of "false" to the last key you are importing in the batch.

Code:

importprivkey 5KY1LjY0UyagrqcRX2riD3fFJNJPBpSPo importedaddress1 false
importprivkey 5grqcRX2riDRX2riD3fFJNJPBpSf65rhj importedaddress2 false
importprivkey 5fFJNJPBpSagrqcRX2rifFJNJPBpSPBpS importedaddress3 true

Extracting Private Keys From Armory Wallet

Run armory in offline mode (simply run armory --offline)
Click on your wallet and click "Backup This Wallet" and enter the password.
Select "Export Key Lists" and click the button at the bottom
Check "Private Key (Plain Base58)" from the checklist and nothing else.
Select "Omit spaces in key data", as these may cause an "Invalid private key encoding" during import
Take each private key listed in the window and import them into bitcoin by using the instructions above.

Hope this helped. I made this to help people that are stuck.

Thank you for helping HCP.

Ok, I was putting the command in Terminal, not Bitcoin Console without the <>. I went to the console and I got this warning below. Is it safe to import bitcoin-cli importprivkey ? I only ask because I DO NOT fully understand the ramification of a command lol.

Welcome to the Bitcoin Core RPC console.
Use up and down arrows to navigate history, and Ctrl-L to clear screen.
Type help for an overview of available commands.
WARNING: Scammers have been active, telling users to type commands here, stealing their wallet contents. Do not use this console without fully understanding the ramification of a command.

Okay, crash course to help you understand a bit:
As the message says, typing in "help" lists all commands.
"help commandgoeshere" will explain the command of your choice.
Try "help importprivkey" and it should explain that it adds a private key to your core wallet (and the arguments for the command)
This interface is very powerful, and people can be very malicious, hence the warning. A certain level of paranoia is a good thing here - and don't just take my word for it on this info.

Oh and you won't need the "bitcoin-cli" part at the start when you're in this debug console.

Unless you can provide something a bit more descriptive than "it is not working", then it is going to be hard to help.

What error message do you get when you try to use the importprivkey command? NOTE: if you're going to copy/paste or show screenshots, be careful NOT to show the private keys! Wink

Also, are you running the Bitcoin Core GUI? If so, try using the console in the GUI ("Help" -> "debug window" -> "console")...

One last thing, you know you're not supposed to type the < and > right? Command should be something like:

importprivkey 5kad16rvxd538HcsFsvd

You can't transfer the wallet, per se, but you can transfer the private keys. Here's how to do it:

Run armory in offline mode

Code:

armory --offline

   Click on your wallet and click "Backup This Wallet" and enter the password.
   Select "Export Key Lists" and click the button at the bottom
   Check "Private Key (Plain Base58)" from the checklist and nothing else.
   Select "Omit spaces in key data", as these may cause an "Invalid private key encoding" during import
   Take each private key listed in the window and import them into bitcoin by using this command:

Code:

bitcoin-cli importprivkey

Mac OSX 10.12.6 Sierra

BTC Market is declining, I can't access my Armory and I need help transferring my Armory wallet (It won't launch) to my Bitcoin Core Wallet until I can get it fixed. I have all of my privates keys but the command "bitcoin-cli importprivkey " is not working for me. Does anyone know a solution? Thanks guys.
