if you generate a duplicate address (which is not going to happen) all the wallets whether Full wallet or SPV will show you the transactions that said address had before, and you can see that even if there is no UTXO left in it!

and this is apart from the extremely small chance of that happening. i am sure someone is going to come along and break down the math here soon.

if it is a new brand address it has no transaction

first of all this is not about the probability of a collision, we all know about that

let's assume that one happened already, there is a way to know if this is true? how can someone be sure that one address was not replicated already aside from the improbability?
