Title: Concerns with Armory Post by: amama8179 on February 04, 2016, 02:06:01 AM Hey guys. Have loved Armory for the last two years, but I am becoming increasingly concerned with its viability given limited support moving forward. Considering switching to BitGo. Seems like their platform is used by the big boys. Does anyone have any experience with their platform?

Have loved Armory for the last two years, but I am becoming increasingly concerned with its viability given limited support moving forward. Considering switching to BitGo. Seems like their platform is used by the big boys. Does anyone have any experience with their platform? Why the rush to switch from a wallet you already like? Goatpig has pledged he will maintain Armory himself. Since you are used to using a full node you might not be happy with BitGo's centralized validation and shared control. Title: Re: Concerns with Armory Post by: unamis76 on February 04, 2016, 10:42:25 PM BitGo seems to not have anything to do with Armory except the fact it's a Bitcoin wallet... So it isn't really a fair comparison and you'd be going from riding a Ferrari to having a beaten up Fiat, I think. If you want to switch software to something at least a bit similar, either keep using Core (in standalone) or Electrum.
That being said, the current version of Armory will still work in near future and a new version is being prepared by someone who has been connected to Armory development for quite some time. |
