Hi there,
Are there any plans to add a Multi-wallet function? By this I mean adding cold storage for the popular coins, BTC, LTE, DOGE etc.
Maybe a coin type plugin system? I anticipate that blockchain files could be large for the watch only client, therefore I suggest install the wallets one requires. I am guessing that the codes will be similar for all wallets, so this is why I am suggesting this.
Thank you for the great product.

You can update your online computer without touching the offline computer if you install 0.91.2 online.
However, all the offline transaction formats changed to accommodate multisig with 0.92+, so if you upgrade your online computer to that, you'll have to do the same offline.
but,in case I do not want to use multisig,,do I have to update the offline Computer?

Newer versions create unsigned transactions in a new format. If the offline computer is not updated to a version newer (or equal) than 0.92, it does not understand the new format.

Hello, I am here tonight to see if you can help with a thought I have. I want to download Armory but I have worries that it will require me to download the blockchain again. I remember the 60 hours I spent waiting to download blockchain before with the qt client I think it is called.
My question is this:
If I download the Armory wallet and synch it, will it take more than...20 minutes? Electrum looks good because it does not require a full download of the blockchain
Thank you

If you already have a Bitcoin core installtion, Armory will go on top of it. For me armory takes about 5 min untill the DB is built and the wallet is online once the Blockchain has finished catching up. So yes it does require a full blckchain downlad, but you can use the one you have already.

I managed to create a situation where Armory 0.92.1 will perform a full blockchain scan every time the program is loaded.
I run bitcoind on a different (virtual) machine than Armory.
When I use NFS to share the blockchain directory, everything works.
Since both the bitcoind VM and the Armory VM are running on the same host, I tried moving the blockchain directory to the host and sharing it with both via 9pfs. The bitcoind VM gets read-write access, and the Armory VM gets read-only access.
Armory will perform a successful scan of the blockchain.
When I close it and open it up again, I get a
"Block file is in the wrong network! MagicBytes: 00000000" error and it starts over from the beginning.

Stupid (maybe not) question.
I want to update Armory, should I update Bitcoin Core as well?

You don't have to but latest core is more critical than latest armory

are only USB sticks right from the factory affected or old used ones as well? As I understand it,USB Sitcks in use cannot get compromised

Nope, the whole reason why this is such a bad exploit is that most USB devices (not just flash drives) can have their firmware reprogrammed via software.

I don't know somebody wrote to here or not. But i think the Armory and other programs could have a potential vulnerability.
For example what if your computer with installed Armory (watch-only wallet mode) is infected and trojan/virus which modifies a receiving address in Armory's interface? How can i trust to my online watch-only computer that all generated addresses are my addresses? What if trojan/virus modifies installed DLLs/Shared libraries of Armory and substitute watch-only generated addresses or seed to hacker things? If i will send to money to generated address how can i sure that this address is my address for private key at offline computer? :-/
What do developers think about this?

What about antimalware/antiviruses programs like Norton,kaspersky,avira.Mc affee? Could they detect those malicious software,when they are widespread and known ?

No. USB firmware exploits happen outside the control of the CPU and any software that may be running on it. For now, you should probably use CD-Rs to move unsigned transactions across the air gap discard them after each use. There might not be any exploitable CD drive firmware vulnerabilities that can be triggered by malicious data on a disc. Maybe.
