Met the Armory team today at NYC Bitcoins... Quick question

[micro23]

Thanks for the chat today. Great to see where you guys are heading with the client.

Quick question. You gave some people USB sticks today and some of them you plugged into a computer first. The one you gave me wrapped works fine and it's a 256mb fat 16 stick thats blank. The stick you opened and plugged into your laptop says to initialize it when I plug it in and says there are two partitions on it.

What is on the stick you plugged in your laptop and how on earth do I access it ?

Thanks again. Cant wait for your lite wallet.  

UPDATE: I plugged it in my Ubuntu box and it says that I do not have permissions to access the stick? Is that because it was a livecd?
UPDATE2: Paper wallets received bitcoin today. Each wallet contained 2 address's that both contained .00245. Thanks guys! Import worked great.

So now just my original issue. Whats on that stick and how do I access it?

Looks like you got the live USB stick. Try to boot from that USB, it should take you to a stripped down live Debian with an Armory install.

You are the man. I cant believe I didnt think to boot off of it on my pc. It didnt work on my Macbook Pro.

Thanks a million. What a slick little offline wallet. Thanks.

Take it easy with this for now.

We're pretty confident it'll work but its still under testing, as it was finished right before the conference.

We should release a stable, signed version in a couple weeks, that you'll be able to grab off of the website or from Armory's downloader.

I have an Armory USB stick. I think I got it at the San Jose Bitcoin Conference in 2013. It's 256 MB. Is it live? I thought it was just a blank drive.

We came up with the live image a day before the 2014 NYC conference. We were showcasing it there and passed a few copies for people to test out. The maintainer is out on a vacation currently, he'll be back soon to polish the image, which will then be signed and available through Armory's download system.
