Do you plan adding support for non-deterministic wallets? I don't think I would like to use a deterministic one. (I can't really give a reason why, I just don't like the idea.)

I suppose I can add such support, but it feels like a step backwards. I believe the security improvement of non-deterministic wallets over deterministic wallets is tiny (if any) , yet creates all kinds of backup problems -- requiring a persistent backup solution, along with having to backup hundreds of individual keys instead of one master key (which also means a paper-backup could be many pages, and recover would require entering hundreds of keys).

That doesn't mean that no one should have the option. It's just that I haven't seen any demand for it. And it might be a bit of work to get it right, so I would need more than one person to request it. Anyone else, please speak up if you want non-deterministic wallets as an option. Otherwise, if you need help being convinced that there are basically only advantages to deterministic wallets with negligible downsides, I'll be happy to debate that with you

Also, if the client will not do block validation, please keep the option to only accept blocks through the satoshi client.

At the moment, all network information comes through the Satoshi client, I don't have a choice. Once I bring down the RAM requirement I will work on more independent networking (or integrating existing Satoshi networking code into Armory). I wouldn't consider not having some kind of validation for incoming network data.
