Title: Can others see my wallet name & description? Post by: rickbee14 on February 16, 2017, 06:02:06 PM Sorry if this is a dumb question, but when I set a wallet name and description in Armory, does that get published anywhere or shown to those who I send bitcoins to, or receive from? I assume not, but I just wanted to make sure. Are those stored only in files on the computer, or would they be shown when restoring from a paper wallet?

Only people who have access to those files can see those. None of that information is necessary for Bitcoin to operate, so it is never published anywhere for anyone to see.

But the bitcoins survive, that is the main point ;D
