Yes. Forever means forever, at least in here.

Man, that is such a relief!

I did restore the paper backup on my day to day PC after I let the bitcoin core download the entire blockchain fresh again.
I assume the massive problems with armory from the other thread were because of the blockchain beeing corrupted in some way; I moved it multiple times between multiple PCs using USB drive (with different OS's) and downgraded bitcoin core at some point (supporting older blockchain format) and later back up again.
This might have been the reason why armory got stuck on block 300K-something for days - but may be it was the week CPU :-) Does not matter now.

I see my restored wallet (armory was ready after just one hour), and I see my 0.01 BTC outgoing test transaction from january and the most important part - I see the rest BTC as a spendable amount in the same wallet!

Jeez am I happy to see that!

A recap from this and the another thread of mine:

1) I had an initial amount X BTC on a legacy address (1.......) in a wallet restored from paper backup
2) I did a successfull test transaction to a segwit address (3......) on my trezor about 0.01 BTC
3) Armory reported the full balance going out and then the remaining amount coming in again. The block explorer confirms this: one legacy input address and two segwit output addresses.
4) But the remaining balance was "not spendable", because my armory back then was stuck in the past block 300K-something
5) Now after fresh paper backup restore on another PC and with fresh blockchain data I see the remaining amount in my restored wallet.

Unfortunatelly armory shows me "node offline (513764 blocks)".

Now I need final assistance how to proceed from here to be ablo to transfer the rest out. I am in advance user interface and did nothing sofar after armory reported ready syncing the transaction history.
Bitcoin core is managing the blockchain running in parallel.
Armory is set up not to manage bitcoinditself.
Both (bitcoin-QT and Armory) are pointed to the blockchain data in a non-standard location.
Bitcoin-QT is set up to start the RPC server by means of "bitcoin.conf" entry "server=1". bitcoin.conf is inside the blockchain data directory.

Please provide me with detailed instructions, since I will not risk any klick without beeing instructed to do so :-)
