Title: newbie questions on Armory
Post by: jefferson7 on May 30, 2017, 10:32:49 AM
Hi guys, I am trying to get up and running with Armory and an offline wallet. Im stuck at a couple of questions though:

1 Is the new version of Armory that was just released, 0.96, only available for AMD chipsets running Linux? No intel chipset version for Linux? Whats up with that?
2 Can I run a windows listening only wallet and a Linux offline wallet easily and without serious issues? Any known issues?
3 Would it be possible to run different version of Armory on my listeneing and offline wallets? I have an old 32 bit intel chipset laptop I want to use for the offline and a 64bit wondows for the listening wallet. Does that make sense or is it possible?

Thank you  :)

The amd64 in the name is the Linux way of saying x86_64, i.e. a 64-bit Intel or AMD chip.  It works fine on Intel.

No problem at all.  This is a common setup.

If the versions are not too different, then it works.  At some point the communication was changed, but I cannot remember at what version.  I think it was between 0.92 and 093, but I am not sure.  Also, the new 0.96 introduce new kinds of scripts disabled per default, but if you enable them you need a 0.96 signer as well.
