I’m trying to import an offline address (using the Armory option so I can offline sign, not just watch-only) into Counterwallet, but it fails with error -32000, “string indices must be integers”, method get\_pubkey\_for\_address.
What can I do about this? I have some Counterparty tokens on a legacy address whose private key is in Bitcoin Core, and I don’t want to import the private key into Counterwallet. What is the best way to just do a simple token transfer and sign it offline?

you should try using [freewallet.io](http://freewallet.io) desktop wallet as it allows you to import private keys and use them.
[Counterwallet.io](http://Counterwallet.io) is old and outdated

Thanks, I will look into it. However, ideally I don’t want to import a private key at all - I would like some wallet / tool (can even be CLI) to just create an unsigned transaction that corresponds e.g. to a Counterparty asset transfer, and then use an offline Bitcoin wallet to sign it.
As I understand it, that’s what the Armory address feature of Counterwallet was supposed to do. Is there a modern replacement for this functionality?

You can use a tool like postman to make calls to the Counterparty API which hands back an unsigned transaction.
That is basically all that [freewallet.io](http://freewallet.io) does, makes API calls to Counterparty API to get the unsigned transaction, then signs it locally in the wallet and broadcasts the transaction… the private key/12-word passphrase never leaves the wallet or is ever transmitted anywhere.

As far as armory, I have no experience with it, but am pretty sure the implementation in [counterwallet.io](http://counterwallet.io) is old and outdated… you may want to download a more recent version at [https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/](https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/)

Ah nice, thanks for sharing the API! That should be exactly what I need.
