To be clear: it would be nice to add a deprecation notice, like we did in the RPC help:

Anyone have a recommendation for an alternative accounting system? Trying to avoid writing it myself. I'm heavily reliant on this functionality in my application, currently which is probably a bad idea

So what is your official recourse to "off-chain" transactions now that you depreciate the only "working" solution?

Edit: fundrawtransaction solves alot of problems... accounts are just beancounters.

My project relies on this functionality. Are you planning to replace it with anything, like maybe a "comment" field associated with each address in the wallet?

@mmgen Yes, please have a look at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7729

@MarcoFalke Thanks a lot! That's exactly what I was hoping for.
