it is my understanding that Armory and Electrum use different mnemonics. so you can't create the same wallets with the same mnemonic
Thank you for the simple explanation. That is what I kind of suspected but I thought that there might be some kind of standard where the different mnemonics came out to the same thing. Glad I didn't try it! Thanks again.
For starters, Armory doesn't currently support any form of mnemonic....
That aside, there is a standard (called BIP39), although Electrum 1.x was created before BIP39 was envisioned. Electrum 2.x (and many other wallets I hope) will be interoperable and support BIP39 in the not-very-distant future.
