Title: Importing extended public key (xpub) into Bitcoin Armory?
Post by: pf on October 05, 2021, 03:46:30 PM
Is this possible? This would be useful to have a watch-only wallet while my hardware wallet (which can get me an xpub) is buried in my backyard.

It's not possible.

Armory uses "RootPubkey" for its watch-only wallets and it consists of "Watch-only Root ID" and "Watch-only Root Data".
I don't know if it's possible to convert an xpub into that format.

Upcoming version can do this. Working on the GUI for the wallet migration and BIP32 wallet structure next. Current version can't.
