When you tried to sweep into electrum, which format of private keys were you entering? You need to have been entering the PrivBase58 ones, without spaces, one on each line.

To get Armory online, try going to File > Settings and uncheck the box "Let armory run Bitcoin Core in the background". Now stop Armory, start core, make sure that it is synced, then start Armory.

ok syncing core now, do i need to do anything in core? any adjustments or once it syncs up and gets to 100% i should be good to go?

Was posted in another forum, was told to repost over here thanks for the help!!





So i got BTC sent to me, the wallet that it was sent to was a Armory wallet, i had looked and armory had good reviews and figured that was the way to go, i was wrong. Armory is in "offline" mode, and i cant see my balance or withdraw anything.
People recommended i dwld Bitcoin Core, so i had started the rigorous process of dwlding it.
While i spent the last week doing that I have also made a electrum wallet and tried to get my wallet onto their with various methods (have electrum 2.9.0 for reference):
-Wallet -> private keys -> sweep, entered the private keys and no balance came up, or none of my addresses balances changed.
-file -> new/restore, created a random wallet, chose standard wallet , checked "use public or private keys", entered in the PriveBase58 code, it seemed like the only code that would allow the "next" box to be highlighted and allow me to move on, i pressed this and it didnt freeze but kept saying something like "please wait..." and i actually let it try this for a few hours but nothing happened.
my bitcoin core just finished installing and i turned on armory and its still offline.
Would really love any and all help to get this finally figured out, i should have all the necessary parts in place i think!
thank you all
