This repo is a straight fork of the Bitcoin Armory wallet, with currently no changes at the time of writing this. The repo has been set up ready for developers to make the necessary changes to port the codebase from Bitcoin to Peercoin. I will raise issues in Github to track this project and work needed to make the Peercoin Armory Wallet.

Please feel free to make pull requests to the repo. As there is significant work required here, I may make a branch on the repo to allow people to submit testing pulls to the code. Please contact me directly on http://www.peercointalk.org if you plan to make (or have made) a lot of changes to the code, and would like to submit a large pull request.

It would be nice to have all the features that Bitcoin Armory has to offer, but a working version for Peercoin is the current "Phase 1" goal. Other features can be added later.

• Project: Armory
• Author: Alan Reiner
• Orig Date: 13 July, 2011
• Descr: Armory is a full-featured Bitcoin client, offering a dozen
• innovative features not found in any other client software!
• Manage multiple wallets (deterministic and watching-only),
• print paper backups that work forever, import or sweep private
• keys, and keep your savings in a computer that never touches
• the internet, while still being able to manage incoming payments,
• and create outgoing payments with the help of a USB key.
• Multi-signature transactions are accommodated under-the-hood
• about 80%, and will be completed and integrated into the UI soon.
• ***Armory has no independent networking components built in.
• Instead, it relies on the Satoshi client to securely connect
• to peers, validate blockchain data, and broadcast transactions
• for us. Although it was initially planned to cut the umbilical
• cord to the Satoshi client and implement independent networking,
• it has turned out to be an inconvenience worth having.
• Reimplementing all the networking code would be fraught with bugs,
• security holes, and possible blockchain forking. The reliance
• on Peercoin-Core right now is actually making Armory more secure!

• Armory contains over 25,000 lines of code, between the C++ and python
• libraries. This can be very confusing for someone unfamiliar with the
• code (you). Below I have attempted to illustrate the CONOPS (concept of
• operations) that the library was designed for, so you know how to use it
• in your own development activities. There is a TON of sample code in
• the following three files:
• [ C++ ] cppForSwig/BlockUtilsTest.cpp
• [ Python ] unittest.py, extras/sample_armory_code.py
• But of course, sample code alone does not make great documentation. I will
• attempt to provide reference info for everything else you need to know, here.
• For a list of library features, see the STATUS table in the README. Note
• that all features with an X in either column are accessible in SWIG.
