Hi All!

Is that any way to ask bitcoind about balance of address which is not in my wallet.dat file?

I would like to receive payments to my addresses which are in cold wallet and
I do not want to rely only on blockchain.info API.

Thank you in advance.

Been asked many times and currently, no, bitcoind can't do that.
You can try using a wallet that works in 2 modes: online and offline.  The online wallet will show the balance, but will not have the private keys.

Are you talking about Armory?

I would like to use only the core bitcoin wallet.
So, the core wallet does not have such feature: online and offline mode, does it?

It's already merged to bitcoin trunk codebase: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/4045

So build a latest unstable, or wait to next release.

Thanks
(If waiting, need to wait for 0.10 in case there are other releases that are not 0.10)

Sadly its not possible. Does txindex change anything? The best way currently would probably be an api like blockchain.info/rawaddr/ and decode the json

Perhaps https://chain.com/ could be of any help to you.
I decided to no longer use a signature, because people were trolling me about it.
