Topic: Any way to disable startup warning on latest beta? (Read 1041 times)
You can leave it on since I understand the risk of corrupting your wallet or losing access to some coins for good is worth a big warning popup for enthusiastic newbies who don't read a lot. But a command line option or checkbox in the settings to disable it would've been nice. This weekend sounds cool. How mature IS the multisig feature anyway?
Tell you what, we will remove that warning in the next testing release. It was really intended more for the early states of the multi-sig stuff, but that has been sufficiently ironed out, and we're nearing release. That warning was going to go away anyway.
OTOH, you can always safely downgrade or upgrade Armory. The only catch here is if you setup an offline computer with the same version -- for the first time in two years, the offline transaction message format has changed, so this version is no longer backwards compatible with an offline computer running an older system. With regards to offline computers, as long as both systems are running pre-0.90 or 0.92+, you'll be fine. If you're not even using the offline feature, then this doesn't matter.
We should have another testing release this weekend. You can safely upgrade then and be free of these issues

Hello,
I just started using Armory by downloading the latest build. And it's great. The setup was moderately difficult and the initial download and database build was very slow, but hey that's how BTC is nowadays with its enormous blockchain. I'm loving all the features, except one.
I set up Armory to run at startup, and keep running in the background all the time, so I can always have coins close by my side. I vbscripted a nice startup, with a custom folder, that makes Armory portable(if you copy the enormous db as well) and runs with low priority so as to not bug other processes, minimize to tray on launch, etc..
And the problem is, with every startup I get this BIG WARNING about the experimental state of multikeys the build, that I always have to click OK on. I get it. I don't even use the feature. I just want the program to start and begin running in the background. There seems to be no option, no command line, nothing to disable that horrible prompt. So normally I would want to go back to an older version. But I CREATED my wallet with THIS version and I take potential disasters from rolling back and reading a wallet with features that did not exist in it very seriously, and I'm weary that even if it might "look fine" it could corrupt or prove unusable in a future transaction.
So I'm stuck with the 0.9.2-whatever beta and the intrusive warning. Can I downgrade safely? Or can I get rid of the popup in any way?
Thank you.
