Here is what I hope somebody in this forum can clarify. Does an empty “Export Key List” versus a populated “Unused Address Keypool” list mean my addresses/private keys I have as “Unused” 100% control nothing at all in the way of funds? Or do they still 100% control my funds even though they have an “Unused” status?
This depends on the wallet file's contents.
If it's the exact wallet file that's used before (
not restored from a backup), then the "
Unused Address Keypool" would represent the addresses that you haven't used yet,
including both that can spend you current UTXOs (
funds) and those that already used to spend.
But you can't be certain on its result unless the wallet is fully synced.
If it's a newly restored wallet from paper backup that's not synced, then you can't be certain if those in the list are unused or not.
So in this case, either sync armory or export them all including the ones under unused addresses.
