Topic: Bitcoin address changes? (Read 1672 times)
I see, thanks for the explanation mewantsbitcoins!
Your client generates new address for every transaction. All your old addresses are still valid and can be seen in Settings>Your Receiving Addresses. It is convenient because if you are a seller you can give every customer a new address and know if they paid or not
I'm really confused...
In my bitcoin.exe window, I have "Your Bitcoin Address:"
I use deepbit to mine, and so I sent some bitcoins from my pool account to this address. It went through just fine, no issues. Then I sent those bitcoins off to MtGox. Just fine, no issues.
But now, the "Your Bitcoin Address:" has changed to something else! So this is not a permanent address? If not, how/when does it change, and how are vendors able to post their address in the marketplace if it is always changing?
