Yes, I commented that out ( Doesn't do much more than versions before as those hadn't those checks ).
And yes I wrote its not the best solution for the issue.
I'll try to edit the armory code and see if that will work as well.
Edit, that change alone isn't enough, armory won't connect to bitcoinABC.
I keep my dirty fix for now till i've more time to get deeper into the armory code.
