Hey guys, quick question, 0.96.5 has been working great on bitcoin core v24.0.1 for a while now. Whats the latest version of core that works well with 0.96.5?

Bitcoin Core version 27.2 should be compatible as is.
The next version 28.0 should work if you're upgrading from an older version (has existing blocks dir) but requires --blocksxor=0 for new setups.
e.g.: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/armory-965-stuck-at-loading-100-not-seeing-main-screen-yet-5524041 (v28.0, has existing data)

Hi! I am creating a wallet with Armory, when it ask if I want to create a backup, I choose the printable paper backup and Single-Sheet option. When I click on Create Paper Backup, nothing happen... Am I doing something wrong?

There are others who reported the same issue.
Their solution is to skip the backup process during wallet creation and do it later once the wallet is created.

The only similar behavior I encountered in my test is if I selected another option like "Digital", then re-select "Printable Paper Backup".
After that, neither "Single-Sheet" nor "Fragmented" paper backup options are selected, using "Create Paper Backup" button does nothing as expected.
But I failed to reproduce the issue when 'Single-Sheet' is selected.

Thank you! Sorry i didnt read others report on this before.

It's in a "build it yourself on linux" kinda state right now. I won't be looking at Windows builds until after I have a RC.

Before the Ledger fiasco I was contemplating moving coins to one of their devices. Reasons were convenience and security.

Now I am glad I did not.

Which makes me more interested *again* in using Armory as my primary air-gapped tool.

I I would really like to see bc1 addresses incorporated in Armory.

Hope that work on it is in progress.

You can spend to bc1 addresses in 0.96.5.

0.97 can generate them (my current spend wallet uses bech32). It's not very user friendly yet however.

interesting choice. I'm frankly suspicious of the way that all these javascript dialects are proliferating and eating everything like an army of king kong/godzilla/ghostbusters marshmallow men, but on the other hand, QT is going weird, gtk already went weird, and they're the only game(s) in town.

I confess to knowing less than zero about javascript-ey thingys and widgets, but like every self-respecting opinionated asshole, I can tell you that I don't like it and that therefore it is bad. Cheesy

.

The 3 issues i see with Qt:

- Qt5 will be EOL in 2025
- There are complaints about Qt6 licensing shenanigans
- There aren't that many people who are experienced with pyqt. Qt is typically used with C++. This limits my opportunities: It's hard to find a pro to deliver on the kind of GUI elements I'd rather not deal with.

Also, the qt GUI in Armory is straight up hardcoded into the python code files. This isn't very future proof. Cleaning that up would involve big rewrites, which is why changing graphical libs is on the table. For now I'm trying to hang by with what I got, but I'm warming up to the idea.

I believe that's in the works (@goatpig ?) in Armory 0.97.

It works in 0.97. I need to add taproot support and update the lib to support v1 segwit addresses. I'm stuck with day job and UI elements atm =(.

Is there hope to see Armory with bc1 address generation capability soon?

Thar would be a nice feature allowing lower fees in the future.

you can send to segwit v0 (bc1) addresses, but you can't receive to them. I believe that's in the works (@goatpig ?) in Armory 0.97. there are also segwit v1 addresses (which also start bc1), but I imagine they will be rejected by Armory. No need to worry, these are taproot addresses, and they are not commonly used yet.

i think you'll save somewhat on fees even when you're only sending to segwit v0 addresses (the bytesize of segwit v0 outputs is smaller IIRC)

Meaning even if the result on Kleopatra couldn't verify the signature it should have the name, email, and keyID like the result of the image above -snip-

That's good.
You can also "Certify" goatpig's certificate so the data can be verified (green);
he posted his fingerprint above, just compare it with the imported certificate's fingerprint.

I'm using 3.1.18.
The "Notepad" in mine is located next to "Lookup on Server..." if "Settings->Show Toolbar" is ticked; check if it's available in your menu "View->Notepad".
If not, you may have to upgrade Kleopatra.

Ok, it works with the 4.0.2 and I follow the last part of their video on their guide https://youtu.be/zRljOC71VVc?t=191

The last part is to verify it through clipboard and that's the result. I manually open the sha256sum.txt.asc with notepad and copy the hash of the installer and then open the checksum file of the armory installer and compare them and they both are the same. Meaning even if the result on Kleopatra couldn't verify the signature it should have the name, email, and keyID like the result of the image above and manually check the hash of both checksum and the hash under sha256sum.txt.asc.

Do you happen to use a newer version? Reason I ask is, in my version there is no “notepad” to be clicked.

Open Kleopatra, click on "Notepad", paste the text there and click "Import Notepad".
After that, certify that the one you're importing is correct; e.g.: ask goatpig himself if the fingerprint (below) is correct.
Lastly, tick the checkboxes and finish the rest of the process.

Hi and thanks for your answer. I am somewhat closer, but I need to ask you; which version of Kleopatra are you using in this example?
I am using the old version to be able to follow the exact steps on the armory website.
Do you happen to use a newer version? Reason I ask is, in my version there is no “notepad” to be clicked.

Thanks for your patience.
