That worked! Thanks! I am still not sure why generating the extra addresses did it but the transaction went through without a hitch. I also emailed the log files. The subject line is the same as this post and it contains a link to the thread. Thank you both for all your help!

WO: watch only

Make sure the WO and the offline wallet have the same address chain length and see if that fixes your issue.

If not, with coin selection (in expert mode), pick the addresses you want to spend from and make sure they are present in the Offline wallet. Then let me know how it all went.

Also, I'd like to see both the offline and online Armory log files. Do a File -> Export Log Files in both and send them to [email protected]

Got it. I will give that a shot thanks. WO means watch only I think. I am guessing based on goatpig's post. I had never seen it before either.

Generate more addresses for the WO wallet or the offline wallet?

Go to wallet properties and generate more addresses by clicking on number on addresses

Hmmm I do not believe I had any imported addresses but maybe I am not completely understanding you question (still pretty new to this).

For the offline wallet all I did was create it and sign a few transactions. However each time I would sign I would start with a fresh reboot of linux and a fresh copy of a backup. I was basically going through and testing all of the backups.

For the online WO wallet I just made those same signed transactions and broadcast them although come to think of it the problem seemed to start the first time when I closed Armory and reloaded the WO wallet.

How far have you extended the chain on both the offline and WO wallets? Did you have imported addresses in the offline wallet, prior to restoring from paper?

Yeah, the same ID is displayed. I even deleted ever single wallet from both online and offline armory, then imported the wallet on the offline machine using the paper backup and generated a WO with it. Still the same result.

The WO displays the same ID as the offline wallet?

I just changed the offline Armory to .90 to match the version on the online wallet. Same result.

I did a fresh install of Armory on my online computer also. Same result. I have no idea what is going on.

Thanks. I actually only have the 1 wallet right now so the right wallet is definitely selected.

Will do. I am going to reinstall Armory on my online computer and see if that fixes it.

Yeah, the wallet ID's match.

I agree importing to the online computer would be my last resort but then it just seems to defeat the whole purpose of this cold storage. I would basically just have to abandon Armory altogether because there is such a chance this problem could happen again.

Do your wallet ids match?

As a last resort import the offline into online. Then start fresh.
