Yes - aim is in a few months, probably by the end of the year. AFAIK there are no nightly builds at this moment. Warren Togami was building them for a while (at http://nightly.bitcoin.it/) but he stopped some time around June. It's not recommended to use master without at least a little bit of development/debugging experience of yourself (to trace down problems when they appear), so it's best to build it yourself if you're going to test day-to-day development versions.

Neither. A watching wallet still has to be synced with the chain in the same way as any other wallet, i.e. after adding an address, if it was already used, you must rescan.

If you consider using my branch, please consider it twice and review the changes first. -------- Original Message -------- *Subject: *Re: [Bitcoin-development] About watch-only addresses *From: *Warren Togami Jr. <wtogami@gmail•com> *To: *Bitcoin Dev <bitcoin-development@lists•sourceforge.net> *Date: *Mon, 20 Oct 2014 12:37:40 -1000 > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=320695 > I made a branch of Bitcoin 0.9.3 plus backports including watch-only > and a huge pile of patches cleaning it up from the master branch.
