It can take days, and you'll have to make space or get a thumb drive or something else to hold the data. The web site has more info regarding all that. Please read up before proceeding.
is the length of time it is taking normal? also what happens if i run out of disk space?
Look up full node vs. lite node (aka SPV). Long story short, you basically are your own bank with Armory.
what is the advantage of full node ie having to download 180gb when other wallllets dont seem to require this.. my main concern is that it has taken 3 days and likely another 5 days, is this normal?
Armory is a "full node" wallet, basically meaning you have to download the entire blockchain (~180 GB) via Bitcoin Core before you can send coins.
hello, I bought a nominal amount just to get the feel of it, i was using a different wallet (msigna) seemed straight forward the coin showed up in there very quickly but then i had problems connecting so i decided to try a different wallet, Armory. i have sent some from msigna but now i find in order to connect armory i have to download data from bitcoin which so far has taken 3 days and looks like taking another 5-10 days, am i missing something or doing something really stupid? please advise
