goatpig,

yes thats what I understood, so someone cannot generate my other public addresses in the same wallet if I did choose to export unless they actually compromised my private keys. I guess I was confused by how Armory exactly generates the following addresses in one wallet. I thought it deterministic was that the public address to address 1 is the private key to address 2.

btchris,

yes thats basically what I want to do. I want to use only some of the addresses in the same wallet and export them to the webwallet but keep the rest of my btcs in that same wallet (spread out in different addresses).

goatpig,

ok perfect that answers my questions. So there is basically no risk if I was to use the import feature on blockchain to transfer some coins from some addresses (but not all addresses in the wallet)?

Thank you for clearing this up. But if my wallet address (not priv key) is known or shown as a transaction on the blockchain, one could not have access to all of my wallet addresses?


btchris,

no problem friend. Thats why this forum is here for so we can discuss 

Thanks for answering my questions, you have been very helpful.

So lets say I have a wallet with 20 addresses.

If I just want to import the last 10 addresses, I wouldn't put anything at risk at all since I took out everything in those addresses and wont plan to recreate addresses after that. Also the addresses before the last 10 wont be at risk since they were created before the addresses I exported? Sorry about the confusion, just because I want to ensure I am understanding correctly.

btchris,

thank you for the explanation. So basically you are not recommending to use the import option of blockchain if I do have other addresses with BTC in them under the same wallet since it is a deterministic one and if one address is compromised, all the rest would be as well? The only problem is because I need to access them ASAP and last time I waited for the blockchain to sync it took a couple days.

Hey all,

I just had a quick question regarding the risk of exporting my wallet to say blockchain.info. Since I do not want to wait for the blockchain to sync and do the whole USB from offline to online computer process... is exporting the wallet using privhexbe format, a risk for my other addresses in that wallet? Say I have a wallet with multiple addresses and I just wanted to move a portion of them, would I be putting them at risk by importing them in my blockchain.info's wallet? I believe I read before that once a wallet/address is imported instead of sent through the blockchain, it can somehow potentially expose other information? Would appreciate if someone can clear this up. Thanks

Perfect, thank you.

Is there any security threat if one was to import their watch only wallet onto blockchain.info? or say a website such as btcbalance.net? I know that the watch only wallet doesn't contain any private keys but just wanted to be extra safe.

Thanks. This is what I did and it's working great.

To be honest, btc-e.support sped up the process for me on skype after I sent mass amounts of messages to their support ticket team and skype as well. The skype support did not answer for most of the time but when they did they asked for my support ticket ID and fixed it (this was about a month ago). To clarify, they did NOT ask for email password just ticket ID. The support team that I contacted asked for me to upload the bank swift document/receipt for proof of wire transfer

yes btc-e.support was the one I used but this was about a month ago. I do not know why they are asking for email password this is very strange and I would not trust that myself until someone from btc-e clarifies that is still them on skype.

When I loaded Armory it scanned and successfully scanned it. Right after that I imported my watch only wallet and then it had to re-scan which gave me 66 months and did not change its status after about 4 hours. I closed and reopened Armory, and then the percentage went quickly to 99% then it was still scanning and the approximate time left programmed into Armory said 8 minutes, then two minutes later it went up to an hour. Do I have to re-scan the blockchain everytime I import a watch only wallet?

Try contacting them via skype as well by messaging them your ticket number (worked for me).

Hi,

I tried to import my wallet on my online pc which is running Armory 0.90. I let Armory scan the block chain until it fully synced/caught up. I then tried to import the watch only wallet and it said that Armory would have to rescan the block chain. It has been about 4 hours now and the scanning has been stuck at 66 months? Anyone know what is the problem here? Thanks...

Thanks for clearing that up.

I tried searching for the answers but I couldn't find any. Just in case in the future if for any reason Armory is not working, I wanted to see the alternatives of importing a wallet. The only reason I find interest in importing the wallet is just for convenience. By importing every private key separate, it would take a while if one had small amounts of btc in each.

Thanks for the quick response. Yes I know how to import the private key using the that option. But how would I import the entire wallet? Lets say someone had a wallet with different private keys in them and there btc split within those private keys. Instead of manually importing each private key (may take a while), how would one import them all by importing the wallet, on say blockchain? I know if one had a bitcoin-qt wallet, they drag the .dat file to where it says "drag" on blockchain. I am trying to find out how to import the entire armory wallet on blockchain?

Hey all,

I was wondering what is the process to import an Armory wallet to blockchain. I know armory does not have .dat files for a wallet... they use .wallet. I know I can import private keys from armory to blockchain successfully but how about if one had multiple private keys and just wanted to upload the whole wallet. Is there somewhere I can input the root and chain code? How would I recover my wallet other than using the armory client?

Thanks for clearing that up Automatic. I thought it was some sort of bug or something... I guess the odds of creating the same root and chain code would be very rare as well.

How about general trading (not depositing), does any one have experience with successful trading (btc or another alt coin) actually show up in their wallet on btc-e) recently?
