Understood - but why require me to send you my wallet and guessed password, instead of YOU providing a way to interface with the software?

You're not required to send us anything. Like goatpig said, the script is provided. Perhaps we should've been clearer about that. (Hell, I didn't know about it 'til goatpig pointed it out.)

In any event, if you have a way to improve the script, feel free to send it our way. We'll look at it and consider including it. Smiley Or post it here. Whatever's clever.

With Armory, there is no way to do that, and you have an internal tool that will try, yet, we can't try it, and instead you want us to send the wallet and password. Thats not right.

Assuming I understood goatpig correctly, there is no internal tool other than the script he mentioned. (Poor wording, I agree.) AFAIK, you have what we have. We just default to asking for wallets and password remnants because, quite frankly, quite a few people have enough trouble running a simple Python script. (Even if they can run it, there's no guarantee it'll work out-of-the-box on their system.) It's just easier to do it in-house, even if it understandably ruffles the feathers of some people.
