Ok, thank you for posting the dev reply - I wasn't exactly sure how that worked. I'll add "server=1" in the event it is needed as a fallback.

Yes, I was referring to "listen=1", thank you for clarifying this condition.

I really appreciate your reply!

Basically my question is does Bitcoin Core need a bitcoin.conf file (and what parameters) for Armory to send outgoing transactions and overall work properly?
Here's a reply from the dev:
RPC is the broadcast fallback mechanism. Armory tries to broadcast via the p2p layer first, but that one throws a lot of false negatives.
Basically, it will broadcast to your node's peers first and if it fails, it'll be sent through RPC.

- Do I need to add "server=1"? (I noticed this was recommended in another thread when a user reported an issue).

- Do I need to allow for incoming connections? I was always curious about this. I would prefer not too, wallet is just for personal cold storage.
server=1 is required to use RPC.

For the incoming connection, do you mean listen=1?
If so, disabling it wont affect Armory since you can still connect to the network, it's just the other nodes wont be able to initialize connection to you.
Disabling it will just reduce your connection.

Hello,

I have Armory and Bitcoin Core both installed and all synced, everything seems to be running well; but I want to make sure I have all the proper Bitcoin Core configurations in place in the event I wanted to send an outgoing transaction with Armory (I currently do not have a bitcoin.conf file with any parameters):

- Do I need to add "server=1"? (I noticed this was recommended in another thread when a user reported an issue).

- Do I need to allow for incoming connections? I was always curious about this. I would prefer not too, wallet is just for personal cold storage.

Basically my question is does Bitcoin Core need a bitcoin.conf file (and what parameters) for Armory to send outgoing transactions and overall work properly?

Thanks!
