Hi HCP
I am using Armory online ver. 0.95.1,and offline ver. 0.92.3, Bitcoin Core version v0.13.2 (64-bit) on win10 notebook, that can run up to date. Do I just follow below your advice to
1. send out all btc, then
2. Export keys from offline Armory (Plain Base58) Then
***********************************************
- Import keys into BTC Electrum (ensure all empty)
- Copy wallet file
- Open in Electron Cash (get BCH)
- Copy original wallet file
- Open in ElectrumG (get BTG)
- Rinse and repeat.
*************************************************
Please advice if there will not be working.
Thank you & Regards
Ah, OK. Hadn't noticed that little g at the end of electrumg. Didn't know they had a BTG tool.
If by "they" you mean the "Electrum" devs... then NO, "they" don't have a BTG tool...
NONE of these Electrum "forks" are the work of, nor are they supported by, the Electrum Dev(s). They're mostly released by the devs (or supporters) of the fork coins. Also, they're prime targets for fake/scam clone wallets designed to steal seeds/keys/coins... Electron Cash had a lot of issues with scam clones to start. Be careful and make sure you're downloading "official" versions of wallets.
And it looks like I could have saved a lot of time if I would have used the Electron Cash wallet to extract the BCH. :PWith this wallet you wouldn't have to download the blockchain. Once you have the Armory private keys exported and arranged in a note pad file, you would have the coins in minutes. If the wallet hasn't been tampered with.

In general, if you have NO interest in continuing to use any given Fork... using a light weight client (ie. some Electrum derivative, or Coinomi etc) is a much easier solution than attempting to get Armory to interface with the forked blockchain.
Granted, you need to make sure that your BTC has been moved first, but that's a relatively straightforward task (create, sign, broadcast transaction)... and generally much easier than attempting to sync a whole new blockchain.
this is NOT easy if you have thousands of keys.
Define "easy" then?
Also, with the Electrum forks you should only need to do the import once. From that point on, you should be able to get away with simply copying the the wallet files and opening the copy in the appropriate fork of Electrum and it should just work.
- Import keys into BTC Electrum (ensure all empty)
- Copy wallet file
- Open in Electron Cash (get BCH)

- Open in ElectrumG (get BTG)
- Rinse and repeat.
Of course, not all forks have released Electrum forks... but if you want your "free money" you're going to have to work for it
would you be willing to share the entire contents of your bitcoin.conf? like i said, i tried listing both server=1 and listen=1 as well as dummy rpcuser and rpcpassword parameters without success.
walletrbf=1
dbcache=750
server=1
Note that without listen=1, I get the issue (using BitcoinQT) where it will say "node offline" or it will say "connected", but it won't update blocks... If I just use bitcoind, it seems to work OK.
However, for me, having listen=1 will ramp up the bandwidth usage quite dramatically though.
