Title: Ciphrex's mSigna ver 0.8.12 beta
Post by: Cryptology on December 31, 2014, 02:21:21 PM
After some testing of both Armory and mSigna I have decided to implement the latter and move from Multibit to mSigna.

There doesn't seem to be much information about mSIGNA here in the alternative clients section of the form. I was wondering if somebody is currently using this program and would like to share their experience.

The 2 main drawbacks I see regarding mSIGNA is lack of online documentation and the apparent inability to import private keys. The program seems to work exclusively with BIP32 keychains.

2 strong points for mSIGNA: very fast to load and the possibility to use either your local copy of the blockchain or to connect to any accessible full node. The former was definitely a decisive point over Armory which takes quite some time to load and get online.

Think I will at least build it and give it a shot. I agree with OP that inability to import private keys may be a small drawback, but I would at least like to test and then draw a conclusion.

I've been using this wallet for a week and I'm very pleased with the overall performance.
There is one additional shortcoming to point out. You cannot sign or verify messages using your wallet's addresses.

The non-ability to sign messages is kind of a deal breaker for me. Hopefully the developer will add this in the future.

Hmm, I will try it out and write up a small review if you would like?
