That's what's confusing. What does offline bundle mean? There's never been an offline version.

There are offline packages, for Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi. It's a set of bundles with all the packages needed in order to install Armory on fresh OSs without the need to connect to an online package repository.

This doesn't apply to Mac nor Windows because these packages are already plug and play.

There is indeed no difference code wise between offline and online bundles. That may change in the future (lean and mean builds with no connectivity code for offline signers).

Any reasonably new version of Armory can handle offline signing for any other reasonably new version of Armory.

What goatpig wrote was that he would not release precompiled offline bundles of the newest version, since there is no need to use the newest version (0.94.X) on an offline computer, 0.93.X is just as good.



That's what's confusing. What does offline bundle mean? There's never been an offline version.

There were offline bundles that one could download built for ARM with the dependency libraries so you would not need to connect your cold offline Pi and `sudo apt-get`.  I believe the ARM builds are no longer part of the official releases.

Oh never knew that. I just used an offline pc. Now "offline" makes sense.

My online Armory wallets are 93.3 and my offline wallets are 92.3 (Windows) and 93.2 (Linux). Will these offline wallet versions be compatible with the next release (0.94) and beyond especially with the implementation of SW?
These versions will still be compatible however you should consider upgrading. 0.94 has a new database structure which reduces the databases by a massive amount (from 60+ Gb to a 300 Mb IIRC).

Goatpig / others, will the next release support offline transactions? (Right now I think you have to offline sign with 0.92 and broadcast with 0.93.3, or am I mistaken? Can any version handle offline transactions?)

see for example:  http://betteroffbitcoin.com/a-protocol-for-offline-bitcoin-over-radio-transactions/ (something which I think is very cool)

Is there any way to download old versions of Armory? I'm looking for the 0.92.3 offline bundle for Ubuntu 12.04 but unfortunately can't find this anywhere. Thanks for any hints.
The oldest ones are 0.93.3. If you want older, you will need to build it yourself. But why do you want old software?
I think old software for now is useless and its better to use the latest version has fixed new blocks headers issue..

Realistically will Armory ever support Trezor within a reasonable time frame (6 months)?

Getting there.

I doesn't matter which branch you push these kind changes to, I merge PRs manually anyways. dev is unstable right now, I'll merge that stuff in once it builds again.

So do I need to resubmit the PR?

I merge manually, i.e. I pull all PRs locally and git merge to the branch of my choosing. You can PR to any branch you want, it doesn't make much of a difference from my stand point. What you need to be careful about is basing your work on a commit that won't cause too many merge conflicts. Ideally you want to submit changes that are completely orthogonal to what other me and other contributors are doing, so as to reduce conflicts and overlaps.

If your rationale is privacy, sync to your own node, slush suggests there will be a solution for that tomorrow.

You can just reopen it. Go to the PR and you should have a button which allows you to reopen the PR.

@goatpig I deleted some torrent code and submitted to the CleanUpATI branch but it seems like it's not up to date with master, so that led to a lot of commits. Am I doing something wrong?

Compressed keys? (The private ones that begin with K or L instead of 5.)
Not yet. It is on the todo list.

Thanks for the quick replies.

Pardon me as I've not been able to follow this thread for a couple of weeks now but is there already an official release of 0.94? If so, where can I get it?
Not yet, just a testing release. The latest testing release is available at https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases/tag/0.93.99.1

With Windows, I'm aware that the same executable can be used to install both online and offline wallets. With Linux (I have Mint), I think the offline wallet installation requires a separate "offline package", IIRC. Would it still be the same installation procedures with 0.94?
When the official release comes out, it should all be the same installation procedure.

Thanks for the info.
