This is just a guess, but I can imagin= e sipa's address index branch might be more suitable for an use case where information about any address is required - jmcorgan continued to maintain a usually somewhat up-to-date version:

https://github.com/jmcorgan/bitcoin/tree/addr= index

As for balance queries, that's not possible out of the box and I have my own branch for this with a few other RPC calls that are noted in the README:

https://github.com/dexX7/bitcoin= /tree/master-addrindex-extended

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.=A0 It seems to work fine although it is not heavily tested.=A0 I suppose if you use ONLY for watch-only it can't be harmful?=A0 Dunno.

It has been merged. There is the "importaddress" RPC call, which works
the same as "importprivkey" except that you a pass it an address.

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.
