Armory 0.96.5

Meaning even if the result on Kleopatra couldn't verify the signature it should have the name, email, and keyID like the result of the image above -snip-

That's good.
You can also "Certify" goatpig's certificate so the data can be verified (green);
he posted his fingerprint above, just compare it with the imported certificate's fingerprint.

Is there hope to see Armory with bc1 address generation capability soon?

Thar would be a nice feature allowing lower fees in the future.

you can send to segwit v0 (bc1) addresses, but you can't receive to them. I believe that's in the works (@goatpig ?) in Armory 0.97. there are also segwit v1 addresses (which also start bc1), but I imagine they will be rejected by Armory. No need to worry, these are taproot addresses, and they are not  commonly used yet.

i think you'll save somewhat on fees even when you're only sending to segwit v0 addresses (the bytesize of segwit v0 outputs is smaller IIRC)

It works in 0.97. I need to add taproot support and update the lib to support v1 segwit addresses. I'm stuck with day job and UI elements atm =(.

excellent news. not the day job/stuck with pyQt part

I'm legit considering paying someone to redo the GUI in flutter/dart.

interesting choice. I'm frankly suspicious of the way that all these javascript dialects are proliferating and eating everything like an army of king kong/godzilla/ghostbusters marshmallow men, but on the other hand, QT is going weird, gtk already went weird, and they're the only game(s) in town.

I confess to knowing less than zero about javascript-ey thingys and widgets, but like every self-respecting opinionated asshole, I can tell you that I don't like it and that therefore it is bad. .

The 3 issues i see with Qt:

- Qt5 will be EOL in 2025
- There are complaints about Qt6 licensing shenanigans
- There aren't that many people who are experienced with pyqt. Qt is typically used with C++. This limits my opportunities: It's hard to find a pro to deliver on the kind of GUI elements I'd rather not deal with.

Also, the qt GUI in Armory is straight up hardcoded into the python code files. This isn't very future proof. Cleaning that up would involve big rewrites, which is why changing graphical libs is on the table. For now I'm trying to hang by with what I got, but I'm warming up to the idea.

Before the Ledger fiasco I was contemplating moving coins to one of their devices. Reasons were convenience and security.

Now I am glad I did not.

Which makes me more interested *again* in using Armory as my primary air-gapped tool.

I I would really like to see bc1 addresses incorporated in Armory.

Hope that work on it is in progress.

You can spend to bc1 addresses in 0.96.5.

0.97 can generate them (my current spend wallet uses bech32). It's not very user friendly yet however.

Is 97.0 available for download in Windows?

[goatpig]

It's in a "build it yourself on linux" kinda state right now. I won't be looking at Windows builds until after I have a RC.

Hi! I am creating a wallet with Armory, when it ask if I want to create a backup, I choose the printable paper backup and Single-Sheet option. When I click on Create Paper Backup, nothing happen... Am I doing something wrong?

There are others who reported the same issue.
Their solution is to skip the backup process during wallet creation and do it later once the wallet is created.

The only similar behavior I encountered in my test is if I selected another option like "Digital", then re-select "Printable Paper Backup".
After that, neither "Single-Sheet" nor "Fragmented" paper backup options are selected, using "Create Paper Backup" button does nothing as expected.
But I failed to reproduce the issue when 'Single-Sheet' is selected.

Thank you! Sorry i didnt read others report on this before.
