Noobie Questions

[Seven_M]

Hi all, although I'm not new to Bitcoin, I am new to Armory. Thus far I am very pleased with Armory and overall, I think it is far superior to bitcoin-qt. However, I do have two questions about it.

Firstly, is there a way to get Armory to display the current number of active connections (like bitcoin-qt does) when it's in online mode?

Secondly, how do I get Armory to display balances in uBTC instead of BTC? A post in this thread has the following quote, which implies this feature already exists somewhere in the settings: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=349396.0 "...Therefore, we go straight to micro-BTC...."


Thank you all very much for your time.

Cheers,
Steven :-)

In Armory, go to File -> Settings and uncheck the first box. This setting allows Armory to control your local instance of Bitcoin Core. By turning it off, Armory expects you to manage Core manually. At this point, you will have to start BitcoinQt yourself, then Armory. On the other hand, you'll get to manage your instance of Core the way like, and get stats directly from its GUI.

Secondly, how do I get Armory to display balances in uBTC instead of BTC?

Sorry, we never got to implement that. We had a design discussion about it but didn't proceed further due to other priorities.
