Title: Same private key with Armory and HW wallet Post by: rodancap99 on January 02, 2018, 12:13:45 AM I was wondering if there is any reason I should NOT do this.
Take my private key, which I use in a different HW wallet and have it also in Armory, so that I can make use of the advantages of the other wallet along with Armory's backup and advanced features. The specific scenario would be this: -take the mnemonic seed from a backup of hardware wallet -load that mnemonic seed into electrum or bitcoin core on an offline computer -extract the same private key from electrum or bitcoin core (so that I have a format that Armory will understand) -load the private key into Armory also in the offline computer -then export the watch only Armory wallet into an online computer with Armory If I am correct, this will allow me to: -use either the hardware wallet or Armory to send, receive or cold storage -I will have a fully node validating my transactions, which I do not currently have with the HW wallet -I will have all kinds of fragmented, multisig, encrypted backups from Armory Hopefully soon Armory will support BIP39 seeds Title: Re: Same private key with Armory and HW wallet Post by: goatpig on January 02, 2018, 11:40:51 AM Hopefully soon Armory will support BIP39 seeds You should wait for that imo.
