Topic: I'm going backwards with my wallet (Read 348 times)

Hi

I had a problem before https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.21176039 which goatpig gave some good tips. Sadly I haven't been able to carry them out as I can't get Armory to sync.

At that stage I could see the BTC value was correct in my wallet.

Since then I have run it, v96.1, but it stalled at Scanning Transaction History - 99%, 1 sec remaining. I rebooted and ran it again but the same result. I even left it overnight but no difference.

Also, it would not go online. I ran it with Bitcoin Core open and without but always the same offline and not fully scanning the transactions.

Today I just saw a new version, 96.2, so I've installed that and now it goes online but now it doesn't synchronize with the network.

I have looked through the forum for solutions and I see people have similar situations, but I'm afraid that I don't understand the tech talk.

I came across this thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/coins-missing-2091887 where Casimir1904 August 18 said, "If you need your coins you can always extract the privkey of the address you sent the coins to and import it in another wallet."  I read somewhere that you cannot recall or retrieve BTC that have been sent to an address. If it is possible to retrieve, undo a transaction, that would be great but can you explain how to do that please.  I have read so much now, and am so confused. I don't understand how to "extract a privkey."  I sent BTC from Copay to Armory.

Thanks

PS I was going to add my log but it's 5,897 lines long. Would that help?
