Is it possible to use Bitcoin Core in a watch-only mode? I want to be able to generate new addresses in an online instance of Bitcoin Core, but keep the private keys separate on another local Bitcoin Core instance.
How would I be able to do that with Bitcoin Core? I don't want to use any third-party solutions, preferably only Bitcoin Core.
2What do you mean with "Not with addresses, but with watch-only wallets."? What would you be watching if not an address? – Murch – 2017-04-07T14:37:46.933
@Murch. address. but, now in order to use a watch-only address, I have to generate it somewhere else, say, on my local computer, and then import it on a server by "importaddress". whereas I want to generate it on a server and have it watch-only right away. watch-only wallet has to able to do that. – Otoma – 2017-04-08T03:52:17.467

It seems to be impossible: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/50247/77103
