If I create an Armory offline wallet (or online for that matter) and let it sit for 10 years (or any amount of time) what happens if Armory is discontinued? Will I still be able to access my bitcoins though another service using my wallet credentials? I currently have an offline wallet and want to make sure I can access those funds if Armory goes belly up.

Also I fired up Armory online, imported a new watch-only wallet and the database build said 81 months with version .88. I just had the online version running yesterday but 81 months had to be wrong regardless. I have a pretty fast quad-core computer FYI. Exiting Armory and running it again fixed that problem.

Thank You

Backup the executable. Then you can export private keys.

Thanks for the reply but can you elaborate maybe step-by-step as I'm stilling trying to learn my way around. It sounds like I access the wallet offline, click "backup individual keys" then create a paper backup of that info. Which boxes should I check there to ensure I have all the information I would need in the future to access the coins in this wallet? The options in that window are below.

Address String
Private Key (Plain Base58)
Private Key (Plain Hex)
Public Key (BE)

Imported Addresses Only
Include Unused
Include Paper Backup Root

Thanks Again I'm still trying to learn my way around.
