We can't see ten years into the future, so, we can't answer that. Assuming github is up, and, Armory's developers don't tear down their source (Although, with the internet, a copy is always available), you could always implement it yourself, but, who says BTC exists in ten years? Who says the protocol is the same?

Eh, impossible to say, all we can say is that the wallet specifications are public as of now, so, someone could now, but, in ten years, :shrug:

You can't really take code out of github. People can always pull earlier commits. Github has this politic of never deleting anything pretty much.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking into finally creating my offline wallet and after reading for hours I think I made my choice with Armory, however I still have a question that I hope someone can answer, I'm not really a tech person so I'm gonna try my best.

Once I have my paper backup created, would it be possible to recover my wallet with anything else than Armory? as a silly example, let's say I create my paper backup and forget about my coins for 10 years (by then worth x100000 more Grin) , after that time Armory has vanished and no software can be found ( I hope the best to Armory team but there's been a lot of failure start-ups lately...), so in that case scenario would I still be able to recover my wallet somehow using any other wallet/software and the paper backup or it will only work with Armory??

Thanks for your work with Armory!
