Title: Cold wallet for the core client?
Post by: OhShei8e on May 04, 2014, 07:44:59 PM
Hello,

why the core client does not have the ability for offline signed transactions?

Maybe a very stupid question but while I'm struggling with Armory I was wondering why the core implementation has not such a feature.

It would be crazy to reimplement the functionality of Armory. But a simple way to export unsigned transactions to sign them offline and then import them again would be very helpful for people who only need this feature.

As far as I know, one can use the RPC interface to create transactions using "createrawtransaction" and sign them using "signrawtransaction" when Bitcoin-qt is offline.
