OK, but I heard darkcoin is private. Wouldn't that be better to use than bitcoin then?
Or will bitcoin start to use darkcoin technology to be private?

So if I post an address on a website and multiple people sent bitcoin to it I'll be OK? I'll get all the coin?
100 addresses? That's insane. That's like going to the bank and them giving you 100 checking account numbers. WTF? I thought it was safe to post and use an address?
Yes, it's fine to use a single address if that's easier. The reason people use multiple addresses, however, is because all Bitcoin transactions are entirely public and recorded and so using a different address for each transaction is a good way to retain privacy. 100 addresses?

It is recommended to use a new address every time - for privacy and for security. You can simply reuse the same receiving address but it is not best practice. Lots of people do it though.
Your Bitcoin Core wallet has already generated a pool of (100) addresses for you to use. Every time you hit "request payment" it shows you another one.

I just downloaded and synced bitcoin Core.
So what address do I use to receive bitcoins?
It doesn't seem to tell me what it is.
When I click request payment, it generates a new address every time.
I don't want a new wallet address for every transaction. I'll never be able to keep track of them all.
I just want one address to use with this wallet. Is that even possible???
What am I doing wrong?
