Ive read the guide about claiming your BCH and if I understand it correctly I dont need Bitcoin ABC, have I missunderstood the guide?
Yes. You need Bitcoin ABC (or Bitcoin Unlimited, although it crashes a lot last I checked) in order to access your Bcash coins.

If I understood it correctly this is what I have to do:
1. Update Armory to a version that has the BCH signer
2. Delete some blocks to somehow see the BCH balance I had at the time at the fork.
3. Send all those funds to a real BCH wallet using the BCH signer.

1)Yes.
2)Yes, by using ABC or Unlimited. You'll want to follow the guide and use alternate paths in order to not wreck your regular Bitcoin Core setup. I believe this is covered in the guide.
3)Yes, or to an exchange so that you can sell them.
Thanks for your fast reply!
I think I might understand a little bit more what I need to do now.
I'll install Bitcoin ABC on an external HDD and let that sync until it's done. Then I'll set my Armory path to that external harddrive. Do I still need to delete some blocks then? According to the BCH network (or whatever it's called) I have not spent any BCH since the fork (even though I've spent BTC since the fork)?
I still can't see my current BTC balance, but when I've solved that (I updated bitcoin core to the newest version, and it looks like it doesn't say anything about another process listening on that port, but it still won't let me see my current balance), would it be wise to first send my current BTC balance to another wallet so I don't fuck up, or is it literally completely impossible to fuck up? (I'm sorry if I'm being paranoid, but since I'm a student with very little money I would rather not accidentally lose my BTC)
I have one question about a line in the log file:
"-INFO - 09:44:27.000: (c:\users\goat\code\armory3\cppforswig\BDM_Server.h:263) Listening on port 9001"
I know goat is one of the developers of Armory, but is it trying to access his user or something? Because I of course don't have a user called goat on my computer.
And again, thanks for your reply!
