Hi, I just waited for the bitcoin client to update the blockchain, so I could try out armory. (I have been using multibit, but I want to transfer to something more secure)
It took forever (didn't help that my connection sucks...)
But when I start armory, it always says offline mode.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this??
The software should tell you (on the dashboard) why it's in offline mode. Usually, it's because it can't find Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind running, it can't find the blockfiles (in the Bitcoin-Qt home directory), or it can't find the internet. There's ways around all of this.
If you're stuck and not sure what's going on, you can PM or email me a log-file, "File"->"Export Log File", and then attach it to an email or send it to me via email (which can be found at the very bottom of the main
Armory webpage.
