Can anyone tell me how to set up a watch-only address using bcoin?
while using the command:
bcoin wallet create myNewWallet
this will always be a "watchOnly": false wallet by default. Is there any documentation for these commands?
bcoin watch only address

The commands are listed on the bcoin GitHub wiki
The command you are looking for is
bcoin wallet watch [address]

There is a way to pass in the option --watch when creating the wallet or, in node, you can use bcoin.http.Client.createWallet({ id: 'myNewWallet', watchOnly: true})
This only returns me an Error which I couldn´t resolve till now:

AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: Network mismatch for address.but the address is a vaild testnet address and the system is running on testnet too. – Michael – 2017-08-02T10:27:26.423Are you starting your node with the option
--network=testneton (or alternatively you export the globalBCOIN_NETWORK='testnet') I tried with the above command and a testnet address and it worked. – Bucko – 2017-08-28T19:04:27.157
