Hi,

I was reading through the guides how to set aside some of your bitcoins in a secured wallet. (Works like this: Create a new wallet on a second PC without internet access, create some addresses in it and store the wallet somewhere safe. Later on just send your money to the addresses in that wallet from your day to day wallet to tuck them away. Check with the blockexplorer if your funds arrived at the secured wallet. Never connect your secured wallet with the internet...)

But I found it a bit inconvenient to have to use the blockexplorer to verify whether your funds arrived safely in your secured wallet. So here is the idea:
If I could import the address from the secured wallet into my everyday wallet (but not the private keys!), I could let the bitcoin client take care of monitoring the transactions that concern my secured wallet. This way I could see (an estimate of) the balance in my secured wallet without compromising its security.

I could try coding this, but would you say it might be worth the effort (i.e. would it have a chance to be pulled)?

BTW: A side effect is that this functionality could be used to monitor the balance on arbitrary addresses conveniently with the client, but you can do this currently with the blockexplorer anyway.
