When I check the unused list it says 0 balance, used also 0 balance I guess because the balance is still 1BTC.

When I check Change received, balance is also 0,0.
That's expected since Armory isn't really synced due to many factors.
One is having your bitcoin core's blockchain pruned.

Ok, I will try to copy/paste all of them and import them.. see if it works.
That'll work, but I think the first ten should be enough, if not then proceed to import the rest using "Wallet->Private key->Import" using that created imported wallet to add more keys to the same imported wallet.
Just do not use sweep using that imported wallet or it'll create a transaction (not a major issue since you've got the keys, but the txn will be a waste of satoshi)

Is it normal that when I want to copy paste those private keys that start with 5 there are more than 50 to copy and paste even though I only have 1 wallet adress on Armory?
And should I just copy paste one by one into Electrum and then click Next?
Electrum can take more than one prvKey during import, just paste them one line after the other (prvKey1->Enter->prvKey2).
Since you've just started using Armory, I'd say that the address should be within the first 10 in the list.

Also, since the prvKeys start with '5', the addresses should be all P2PKH (legacy) and you wont need to specify the addresses' script type.
Your Armory is also having issues with reusing the 1st transaction's input and it may be unaware of your first transaction, thus the change address with balance might be in the "unused" list.

If you know which address has balance, you only need the private key of that address. No need to enter all 50 private keys.
You already said that, you had 1 BTC and spent 0.02 BTC. The remaining balance (0.98 - fee) should be in the change address.

Enter the ID of that transaction on a block explorer like blockchair.com to see what was the change address.
Then find that address on Armory and import its private key into electrum.

If you copy-paste them one by one it would take too long to find which wallet has a balance so copying and pasting them all is fine when importing to Electrum except for segwit wallets you would need to add a script type at the first of the private key to be able to go next.

The sample is already on Electrum look


If importing only private keys without the first script type doesn't work even its legacy wallet then you will need to import them with script type.



I tried today and it's working without script type so copying and pasting them all to Electrum won't be a problem.

Ok. I verified Electrums signature and it is approved, just like the steps in the link (thank you for that).
Now I will download Electrum, but do I sweep or import the private keys? Since I will be moving btc to another wallet. I noticed when downloading Electrum for sweeping you need to choose normal wallet and for importing u need to choose Bitcoin wallet or importing keys or something like that. I also read you recommend sweeping rather than importing?
The difference is when you "Sweep", Electrum will send all of the prvKey's address' balance to the wallet where you used sweep.
"Import" will just include the prvKey to the imported wallet (can't import to a standard wallet).

So since you mentioned that you're just going to send them to your Binance account, I'd suggest you to use "Import" in the new wallet option "Import bitcoin addresses or private keys" (click 'Info' to properly import the correct address type), then use the created 'imported wallet' to send the funds to Binance.
There's a shortcut that involves sweeping it to a watch-only electrum wallet with Binance deposit address but it's best to play safe.

But if you're planning to use Electrum, I'd suggest your to create a new wallet, backup the seed phrase. Then sweep using that wallet.
Take note that one of the option "2fa wallet", incurs a fee for third-party 2fa service in every 20/100 transactions (info), it's safe against "hacks" but not free.

Is there any special thing I should know while downlowding electrum? So I don't make same mistake like I did with Bitcoin Core and Armory (I also followed tutorials - didn't even know about prune mode)
One important optional step is to verify your downloaded Electrum's signature to make sure that it's not a fake.

Before following HCP's instructions (from the link) to import the key(s) to Electrum,
you might want to do this first: [GUIDE] How to Safely Download and Verify Electrum [Guide]
Note: The thread is long just because it includes steps for three different platforms, but the instructions for one OS should be simple.

When I untick prune mode it says with red letters Reverting this setting requires re-downloading the entire blockchain.  ?
Your Bitcoin Core was pruned? Huh Well that would certainly prevent Armory from working properly. Roll Eyes



Ok what are my options. Do I go this way?
Or If I download Electrum on my PC and import it to Electrum will I be able to move ot to Binance from Electrum?
Depends on what you want... If you want to continue using Armory, then you'd be advised to get Bitcoin Core fully synced and NOT pruned, and Armory connected to it.

If you just want your coins out, export the keys, import into Electrum and send them wherever you like.


Yes, I want to send the coins to Binance and I don't need Armory no more. The thing is I watched tutorials and Armory was only option to import the private key from Caucasius coin.

Anyways, what I do now is just download Electrum wallet on my laptop and follow the steps above? Is there any special thing I should know while downlowding electrum? So I don't make same mistake like I did with Bitcoin Core and Armory (I also followed tutorials - didn't even know about prune mode)

It was pruned? BTW, I see tons of issues in your setup, from the OP to the last posts.

Anyways, those "letters" indicate that Bitcoin Core will re-download and verify the blockchain from start
because in prune mode, the older blocks were already deleted.

I second BitMaxz's suggestion to export your keys to Electrum if you really need to spend them now.
The wallet is relatively safe but not as private as Armory.

There are a couple of replies in this board that have the instructions on how to export/import keys to Electrum,
like this post by HCP for example: /index.php?topic=4746784.msg43255691#msg43255691
The Electrum import instructions are posted a few replies after it.

Can you check your Bitcoin core is fully sync? Armory wallet won't work properly if the Bitcoin core is not fully synced and also Armory won't run properly if your bitcoin core is in pruned mode. So check that first on the bitcoin core settings and untick prune.

Then let's see if it will sync again or if it was fully synced?


This issue shouldn't take too long if you export the private key and import it to Electrum and transfer the remaining bitcoin to another wallet and then start again on the installation of your Armory and Bitcoin core wallet before you sent it back to your new armory wallet.

To be 100% sure what the Bitcoin data directory actually is, you can simply open Bitcoin Core GUI... look in "Window -> Information"... and see what the value for "datadir" is:
https://i.imgur.com/zL8kaiU.png

If it isn't "C:\Progam Files\Bitcoin" then you've setup Armory incorrectly.

Honestly, you should be using C:\Program Files\Bitcoin as a datadir... as newer versions of Windows treat C:\ as being somewhat protected as it is the system drive... and you can often end up with really weird permissions errors if you're trying to read/write from certain directory paths Undecided


Ok. The copmuter guy cloned my old driver, so everithing is the same on my new SSD.

I went to Armory settings and put directory to default (blank).

I also checked Bitcoin data directory and it's C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin.

Should I now try to send it when I changed Armory directory into default?

You must have meant "should not be using", right?
Because that drive is really a no-go for data directory because of that reason.

"If it's actually in the default directories, you can set it to default = blank in the pathing settings (armoryqt.conf) and Armory's settings (File->Settings), restart." This part I don't understand much, sorry I am trying Smiley
If I do the Rebuild and Rescan Database now, will it affect my wallet or no?
The "program files" directory where Bitcoin core's files are, isn't the data directory, unless you set it in the config file or start parameter.
If you haven't changed Bitcoin core's settings, then it should be: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\bitcoin.
According to your logs, it appears that you've set the wrong directory in Armory's settings, so you should just set it to default (blank).
File->Settings...:


This is important: what settings and configs you did after upgrading to a new SSD?
Have you cloned your old drive because it seems like you're using the new drive as "C".

-snip- Also my balance still shows 1BTC even though I've already sent 0.02 BTC to test it out when it worked magically.
That's the issue, rather result of the issue.
Your wallet still has access to coins that you've already spent.
So in your new transaction, it's still trying to spend that spent coin(s), it's normal for nodes/your node to reject a transaction with invalid inputs.

The solution, I'm now sure but have you copied your previous Bitcoin Core and Armory database?
Try to run Bitcoin Core and see if it will start/sync, if it's good, then the issue is in your Armory setting.

And are you sure that your bitcoin core's datadir is "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin"?:
Code:
2021-09-01 15:19:38 (INFO) -- ArmoryQt.py:1891 - Setting satoshi datadir = C:\Program Files\Bitcoin
The default is in %appdata%\armory or C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Armory
If it's actually in the default directories, you can set it to default = blank in the pathing settings (armoryqt.conf) and Armory's settings (File->Settings), restart.

If still doesn't work, you can use "Rebuild and Rescan Database" because there could be an issue with your old data when you ran out of space,
it will delete your Armory database and rebuild it. It wont cost you internet bandwidth but will take some time to finish.

I don't remember copying previous Bitcoin Core and Armory database.
Bitcoin Core is synchronizing normally when I open it.
My Bitcoin Core files are in Program Files/Bitcoin and Armory is also in Program Files/Armory. It was in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Armory and in the beginning I draged the file to Program Files/Armory. 0.02 BTC was still sent away from Armory to another wallet successfully.

I hope your SSD is at least 1 TB as Bitcoin Core and the blockchain data will take up some 400Gigs. Anything less than 1 TB may cause space issues further down the line... especially considering that you also need to factor in space for the Operating System and other apps/data etc.

And of course, if you're still having issues after you get the SSD installed and everything setup, then feel free to ask for help Wink

Hi!

I downloaded the new version of Armory and when I tried to send BTC the send button didn't work. all stayed the same. I also rescaned balance, but I didn't rescan and rebuild databases since I don't know what that does. my Bitcoin Core is 0.21.1 version. I've also put the fee to 200 satoshi, but still not sending. Also my balance still shows 1BTC even though I've already sent 0.02 BTC to test it out when it worked magically. Smiley

Because I can't send the bitcoin from Armory to Electrum since Armory node isn't completely done it stopped at 31%.
You won't be able to "send" the coins from Armory... but you could export the private keys from Armory and then either import or sweep those private keys using Electrum

For details on exporting the private keys, refer to my old guide here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.43255691

Once you have the private keys, importing or sweeping them into Electrum is relatively easy. There is a very good guide here: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/importing-your-private-keys-into-electrum/

Ok so if I buy an external Hard Drive, do i need to reinstall everithing on that drive or it will just continue to load on that external dics?
Because I can't send the bitcoin from Armory to Electrum since Armory node isn't completely done it stopped at 31%.
You can use your current installation but it needs some configuration tweaks in both Bitcoin core and Armory.
You'll also need to move Bitcoin core's data directory to the new drive, then the settings; so you wont have to start from scratch.

Here are the configs (both should be closed before following these):
  • In bitcoin core, create/find the "bitcoin.conf" file in the default data directory (after moving everything to the new drive).
    Open it using a text editor and put this line: datadir=E:\Example\Directory - the path should be the external drive's new bitcoin data directory.
  • In Armory, just follow this pathing tutorial: https://btcarmory.com/docs/pathing

Note: since you're planning to use an external drive, please bear in mind that it must have a reliable connection to the PC while armory and bitcoin core are running because a simple break in communication with the external disk could lead to corrupted blockchain, block index and/or UTXO set. Fixing those issues will be time consuming.

Do you have other drives/partition that has 400GB+ of free disk space?
Because Bitcoin Core will need it for its data directory files, mostly the blockchain.
Uff no, nothing on my computer. C drive is 212 and D is 24GB. Do I need to buy an external disc?
Oh, without the space, you can't use Armory because it requires the full blockchain (c/o Bitcoin Core).
Your option now it to use an SPV wallet like Electrum or if you already sent bitcoins to it, you can export the private keys to another wallet.

If you're planning to expand the storage, it should be an internal drive for better performance, but an external drive will work as well.

Yeah... If you can actually get Armory starting (even if it isn't syncing etc), and you haven't already, you should make sure you have a paper backup with the root key etc.

Regardless of what happens with the wallet files, if you have your paper backup, you'll be able to recover your wallet and funds.


Yes, first thing I did was paper backup. I have that. Now in the middle of the downloading process, my C drive ran out of space and everithing paused.
What can I do?

My wallets will stay untouched when I install the new version? Or will I have to import the existing wallet? I am still learning all of it Smiley
I would suggest always do a backup first of your armory wallet and files from %appdata% before you uninstall and install the latest armory.

It's for your wallet safety if anything goes wrong and actually, you don't need to uninstall them just download the latest version and install it will automatically delete the old version including old files except the armory wallet file that you can find under AppData.

The wallet files should remain untouched... they're stored in the Armory data directory (in your case: C:\Users\sarat\AppData\Roaming\Armory\)

When you uninstall Armory and/or install the new version, that AppData folder is left intact, and only the program files that are in the "C:\Program Files" folder will be removed/overwritten when you install the updated version.

Where do I go from here and why did it work for small amount and not for the big amount of btc...
Honestly not sure... for some reason your Bitcoin Core client didn't accept it. It is possibly related to the old Armory version doing something that Bitcoin Core isn't liking Huh

At this point, all I can suggest is to update Armory and try again. If it still isn't working after updating... post the updated log files.


I am using Bitcoin Core 0.21.1 version. Ok, I will download and update my Armory and try it again and post the log. Thank you for your help so far!

Sounds like Armory may not be communicating with bitcoin properly... can you please post your Armory logs?

I would suggest you paste them to pastebin.com and then post the pastebin URL here to avoid creating a super long post (or having it cut off due to max character limit).



Hi there.

https://pastebin.com/Yub3M4YR   Here is the website to the logs. I hope I got it right. Yesterday I managed to send 0.02 btc and it worked. in 20 minutes I got it to my Binance. Later in the evening i tried to transfer the rest and it didn't work. It said: tx broadcast timed out (get).

Where do I go from here and why did it work for small amount and not for the big amount of btc...

Thank you - I cound not understand the "bitcoind" part - you mean bitcoin core?

But I found another tread and managed to create the config file and add server=1 and that solved the error it seems

Chances are the tx was broadcasted. You have to start bitcoind with -server at any rate. You wouldn't experience this issue if Armory could talk to Core's RPC.

Ok - I'm an amature at this. I have restored a wallet i made 5 years ago. I have a brand new PC, I installed Bitcoin Core and then Armory. I restore account and find BTC with no problem.
When I try to send BTC I get the Error:

The transaction that you just executed failed with the following message:

tx broadcast timed out  (get).

I have tried to read a post on this forum with that title, but I didn see the relevance to me - or maybe I just did not understand it...

As I said - this is a completely fresh install - does anyone know a way to fix this and can explain it in not too technical terms (I have tried to delete database and rebuild - no effect)
