To use Armory securely, you need an offline PC and an online PC. On the offline PC you create the wallet and generate a watch-only wallet for your online PC. On the offline PC you don't need to install Bitcoin Core, however on the online PC you do.

Bitcoin Core and downloading the whole blockchain is a prerequisite for running Armory in online mode.


For further details I'd recommend heading to the Armory subforum:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=97.0


Alternatively I'd recommend either getting a hardware wallet for a great mix of convenience and security -- either a Trezor or a Ledger Nano S -- or if security is not that much of a concern try Electrum.

Forgot to say, I am using 0.96.0, windows 64bit,thank you

And checked previous post, do I need Bitcoin Core before I could make Armory online to receive any bitcoins? And looks like bitcoin core is so big...

Anyone who could recommend an easy & safe using wallet please? Many thanks!

Downed Armory, set up an address for the miner, how could I make the armory go on line please? The status always says offline? Should I use a separate computer for the on line one?

So difficult for newbie to chose wallet...I chose Armory but couldn't make it go online finnally.... Sad

Thank you guys in advance...
