[Feature request] Cold and watch-only wallets #2431

(Discord is somehow broken, so I couldn't join there to ask and discuss.)

I couldn't find any instructions on how to set-up a combination of a watch-only online wallet and an offline wallet. The watch-only wallet could be used to check balances, create transactions and broadcast transactions but the offline wallet would be used to sign transactions. Is this possible, and if so, where can I find instructions? If not, would it be possible to implement?

There is this section of the documentation, please let me know if it does not answer your question: https://docs.nano.org/integration-guides/advanced/#cold-wallets

Ok, thanks! I'm using nano_wallet, but I couldn't find any convenient tools from there to achieve. As a comparison, Electrum for Bitcoin has very easy-to-use support for this in the wallet GUI. I suppose there's nothing similar in nano_wallet? One has to use command-line curl commands as shown in the link you provided? (I've understood that this repo is also for nano_wallet.)
