That's a bummer. I was hoping to avoid doing the simple solution of sending it to the other wallet over the network. It's a small amount, and the fees to get the transaction done will be killer. I guess I'll hold on to the electrum wallet for now. Thanks for the answer, goatpig.

Topic: Sweep from Electrum to Armory (Read 396 times)
You are most likely trying to import a compressed private key, which Armory does not support. If what you want to achieve is to actually the balance of an Electrum wallet to an Armory wallet, you are better off just sending the coins from Electrum to your Armory address, because this is exactly what sweeping does in Armory: it scans the keys and creates a transaction that sweeps all fund into an Armory wallet.
I have balances in both Electrum and Armory, but I'd like to get down to just one wallet in Armory. I'd like to sweep the balance from Electrum into Armory. This is my first "sweep" operation, and I think I'm missing something somewhere.
In the "Addresses" tab in Electrum, I right click on the address that has the balance, and choose "private key". The private key comes up, and I use that in the "sweep" function of Armory, but it pops up an error message saying that it is an invalid key.
Also, in the "Addresses" tab in Electrum, I can click on the address with the balance and expand it to show a long string. If I put that string into the "sweep" function in Armory, I get a dialog asking me if blah blah blah is the correct address. It is not, so I click "No." It brings up another dialog with a different address and asks if that one is correct. It also is not, so I click "No" again, and it just goes back to the dialog to input the private key. If I click "yes" to either of the dialogs about the address, no balance is swept.
What am I doing wrong?
