Why is compressed private keys not supported? Any problem? ~~MZ~~ Title: Re: Why is compressed private keys not supported? Any problem? Post by: etotheipi on October 27, 2014, 04:49:20 PM Just have this question! :) Why is compressed private keys not supported? Any problem? ~~MZ~~ When Armory's wallet format was originally created, compressed keys didn't exist in any Bitcoin software. I never accommodated for the possibility in the wallet format. Since then, the wallet format has been so thoroughly tested and battle-hardened, I didn't want to mess with it to support a non-critical feature like compressed public keys. Finishing up a new wallet format now that will support a lot of new features, including both compressed and uncompressed keys. Still a ways off from an official release, but it's coming.

In theory, this is possible right? I mean, a deterministic wallet that uses compressed keys. So I can have a watch-only wallet on my web server. (Like a game website for example.)

It does not matter whether they are compressed or not, otherwise Armory itself would not work...

In other words, I don't want to use any bitcoin addresses whose private keys begin with the number 5. |
