So what's the status on Armory supporting compressed public keys?
I have a "compressed private key" that I'd really like to sweep into my Armory wallet.

We're trying hard to get these multi-sig features ironed out, tested, etc. Once we do that, I'll finish the new wallets, which are like 80% done already. Then there will be proper compressed key support. |

Updates? Also, since MS quit on XP, does that mean you (or Goat Pig) will stop making it work for XP?
(Believe it or not, I still use XP today.)

XP? *shudders* :-P Compressed keys will be supported with the new (BIP0032 compatible) wallet format. That is one of the next bigger projects, so it'll be here eventually. As I understand it. Ente |

Ente Yes. I usually use the previous 2 or 3 generations of older software while they still work on the latest hardware (or because I tend to get old hardware for free or very cheap.) Good to know that compressed keys will be supported. I think it's way overdue. |

I want to import some private keys from the Bitcoin-Qt. I used the dumpprivkey command to get the keys, but it seems like it can't be imported to Armory because these are compressed keys.
Is there any way to dump non-compresses keys from Qt so that I can use the same addresses on Armory?

Unfortunately not. Compressed and uncompressed keys have different addresses. Even if you get the uncompressed version from Bitcoin Core and import it into Armory, it will show a different address and no balance. As mentioned above, the new wallet format is coming soon and Armory will finally understand compressed keys and know what to do with them. |

That's good to know. I check in here occasionally to see what're the latest developments. Thanks for the good work you put into this! |

I just bumped into this old thread when I tried to import a (compressed, for sure) privkey from multibit to armory. Is it really possible that armory *still* does not support importing compressed private keys?  |

I tried today again to import a compressed private key, but same error. After your last reply i thought something must have changed, but after i gone through the changelogs again, i found nothing new?!? So the answer to my question Nothing new?
Could be "not yet." or did i miss something? Its on your to-do-list, right? |
