I store almost all of my bitcoins that I consider a 'long term' investment in paper wallets locked up in a safe. The blockchain.info website has a great feature that let's you import 'watch' only addresses. This is great, because you can track what is in your paper wallets and if, should the almost impossible happen, and someone make a transaction using your paper wallet private key you would get an alert notice.
However, there are a couple of key features that I can't seem to find on the site and/or the android app.
(1) I can't see any place where you can assign a human readable text label to these watch only addresses. That would make the feature a lot more useful.
(2) When you are using the android app it acts like all of the bitcoins are available to spend, including the watch only addresses, but obviously they aren't since you haven't imported the private key. It would be nice if the app made a clear distinction between the amount available to spend versus the amount stored in watch only addresses.
Anyone know if there is a way to do work around either of these issues?
Thanks,
John
