thanks. But it's taking forever to sync. Do I need to wait for sync? I will be moving money to a new account anyway
Can you press "export key list" from armory?
You can import them to electrum if you can get the private keys out from the armory.
Edit: i have personally never used armory, so i don't know how it works. I think that armory uses bitcoin core for the connections yes? One option then would be to download the bootstrap.dat manually.
