Will the free open source Armory wallet continue to be developed going forward?

[pf]

• No new version recently.
• No comments heard from Armory developers when a person asks about what Armory has that Copay doesn't: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1205245.0
• etotheipi hasn't commented here on these forums in months.

I'm getting a bit worried. Questions:

• Has Armory become profitable with its paid products yet? I hope it has.
• In any case, will the free open source Armory wallet that we all love continue to be developed going forward? Can I count on it for my bitcoin security over the coming years?

Hard to say. The github hasn't been updated in several months but the other developers of armory have been active on this forum recently.

I would like to know too. Armory is great.

I used Armory in the first place for cold storage. Switched to Trezor and no longer use it. Now that hardware wallets are common and inexpensive Armory is looking long in the tooth. If it would fully support Trezor (multiple hidden wallets with passphrases) it would have an edge over myTrezor and Multibit HD as a more private solution. I would very much like to use a fully validating node with Trezor. Would I pay for it? Nope.

A reply is in order. Stuff I ignore I do on purpose, so no point asking again.

Not much to reply to people that don't see the benefit of running full nodes.

I've been the defacto maintainer of the FOSS version since about a year. etotheipi and the rest of the team are busy with the high end enterprise features, and running the company (which is a lot more work than I would have guessed!)

In any case, will the free open source Armory wallet that we all love continue to be developed going forward? Can I count on it for my bitcoin security over the coming years?

All FOSS development has halted since sometimes in August. Bug fixes are worked on, but currently the FOSS version is limited to 0.93.

Long story short, we are in the process of figuring things out. I can tell you a couple things for now:

1) The team has a strong intention to resume FOSS development.
2) 0.94 has been ready since July

When will this resume and what exactly stopped its development in the first place?

2) 0.94 has been ready since July

Where can I get it?

[BitcoinNewsMagazine]

Not sounding good. I hope you take care to warn Armory users not to upgrade to latest Bitcoin Core 0.11.1.

[goatpig]

I will explain that in due time. Rest, assured, the community will get an in length explanation when this whole situation is sorted out.

Where can I get it?

If you have a local copy of the ffreeze branch with its last commit (before it was pulled from the repo), you would have access to that.

So it's no longer on github?

Would you guys be able to republish it so that we can make aaacommunity developed version based on what has already been written?

If it comes down to that I will release everything I have and maintain the software myself.

Ok.

Can you guys at least put out an update for lowS signatures so that armory will work with bitcoin core 0.11.1?

That's being worked on on top of 0.93.3 afaik.

Was the ffreeze branch the same as the gitian-ffreeze currently in the github?

It is in a state that's somehow close to what 0.94 should have been, but it has some major bugs left in it. You can play with it if you wish.

Is there a list of those bugs somewhere? I would like to take a look and see if I can fix them so that I can use 0.94.

[goatpig]

Our bug ticketing and code review engine is internal only. You'll have to toy with it.
