Receive at Watching Only Wallet

0

I am a little foggy about the Watching Wallet copy in Armory. I have received BTC in my Watching only wallet. Is there anything that I need to do now to get those to the Cold Storage Wallet or is the Cold storage Wallet only needed to sign Spending transactions. If so then in that Case I assume that the accurate balance in the Cold Wallet does not need to be reflected as it is only used for spending?

Thanks

No, you don't need to do anything.

Correct. Without a means to gain knowledge about received money, the cold storage wallet can't update its balance. But it holds the private keys required to spend the money it received. The watch-only wallet can be used to check the balance without it having the ability to spend any money.
