I use a custodian wallet for transaction and don't re-use any address.
Yesterday I decide to click the place I circle in the picture and different address was coming out. Then I was still clicking it so that the first address can come again but it did not come.

The button you clicked should ideally generate a new address every time till the limit set by wallet is reached. You must be able to locate a list of addresses generated for your account in your wallet settings.

Regardless of the address being displayed right now, funds sent to this or any previous address linked to your wallet will get credited to your account.

Question Y: is like personal problem.

You don't have to reveal any of your personal details, though. Just to explain us what's going on and we'll give you our best shot; you may get an answer that satisfies as a solution to your problem.

I did not mean that the question is personal to me that I will not release it. Maybe is because I do not use the english well that you did not understand me.
I have got why I ask question. You guys are genius. Thank u.

Does that custodial wallet have a support or email that you can use to ask that specific question?
That would be the first thing I would try if there is a reason why I need Address A to appear on the screen again. But honestly, I don't see the reason why you would need it.

It's a custodial service. That means you don't have access to the addresses' private keys. If someone were to ask you to sign a message confirming the address is yours, you wouldn't be able to do that since the private keys are missing. I can see that it's nested segwit, but even if it were a legacy address, you still don't have what is needed.

If you gave the address to someone and you are expecting to receive some coins to it, they will still be credited to you once the transaction has been made.
If you gave the address to someone, can't you find it from the history of your conversation with that person? Email, Telegram, social media, PMs... whatever else you used.

As said, the specific wallet generates a new address each time, so you can't have the one you want back in the UI. However, if you tell us the reason you want it, you increase your chances of resolving your issue.

Please what is XY problem?

o_e_l_e_o meant that, instead of answering question X, we should answer the question Y.

Question X: How to see previous addresses?
Question Y: Why do you want to see the previous addresses again?

Anyway, as already stated, previous addresses are still valid and the problem seems to be solved now.

Ok. Thank you very much for explaining to me.
Question X: is like general problem.
Question Y: is like personal problem.

Thank you charlestim , findingnemo , hosseinimr93 and everybody. Is clear to me now on how it work and why I should not worry myself to have my address back.

Quote from: o_e_l_e_o on December 11, 2021, 06:07:06 AM

As others have mentioned above, addresses do not expire, disappear, or anything similar, so if you've handed that address out to someone to receive some coins which you have not yet received before you generated a new address, then you will still receive those coins even if you are no longer seeing the correct address. You also do not need to worry about skipping that address if you never receive those coins, or handing out a subsequent address which you are still waiting for those coins. You can leave all the addresses you've generated empty and just use the next one without any issue.

This why I need it but am relax now. Thank you.

I think this might be a XY problem here. You are asking how to get a specific address back, but the real question is why do you want to get that specific address back?

You will never get the same address back again as far as I know, these kind of wallets will always give you a new address but it doesn't mean that you can't use your old address to deposit to the same custodian wallet but you have to make sure that do they provide any time frame for expiry of previously used address. In LBC old addresses will exists for 12 months after that you may not get funds if you send money to them but with coinbase it never expires you can see all the previously generated address when you login to the desktop version of your wallet.

In the following image, you can see the menu appears after clicking on the 3-dots button.
I couldn't find any option for seeing previous generated addresses.

Yes. That is how Remitano is. If you click on the deposit history, the total number of deposit transactions will be seen individually, and in each, the txid, the date and the amount deposited will be seen. The txid is clickable in which someone will be directed to a blockchain explorer where the address can be seen. I know you know this though, just in case for uchegod-21 to get it right. So, very possible to know the address that was used before in previous transaction.

What happens when you click "Dashboard->Wallets", then the (triple dots) menu of your Bitcoin wallet?

I just registered on Remitano to see how it works.

Besides, their system won't allow you to generate more than 20 unused addresses. Probably, they set this gap limit so they don't have problems when calculating your total balance.

Yes, that's exactly how Remitano works.
I clicked on "generate new address" button 20 times and now the button doesn't work anymore.

Thank you nullama for seeing it. I do not want to hide the address. I just do it like that. I do not need to hide the address for any privacy reason.

Thank you Charlestim for your comment at going to the history of transaction to check for the address I use.

Quote from: BitMaxz on December 09, 2021, 06:52:29 PM

If it's a blockchain wallet then you can find an old used wallet on the settings or if you are using Electrum then you can find all use and unused addresses under the addresses tab it's hidden by default so you can find it under view>show addresses.

Is good to know that I can see unused address before I use them.

Using a new address for each transaction is highly recommended for better privacy but it becomes kind of pointless when using a custodial wallet!

If I want to get my first address back. How many time will I click so that I will get back to the first address.

If they are using HD wallets (which I believe they do), then it doesn't matter how many times you click the reload button. The chances of regenerating the same address is almost zero.

Or had any address that past has past. If yes. What of If their is matter that they want me to generate that particular address back from my wallet. What will I do?

You don't have to worry about this. All generated addresses belong to your wallet and any coins sent to one of them will be credited to your account.

I have used Remitano before, also I have used one or two custodial wallets before I started to know that I do not have the total control of my coins on custodial wallets, the reason I did not use custodial wallets anymore and prefer noncustodial wallets but also open source. But all that I have used (custodial wallet), I can view the deposit and withdrawal history. You should check the custododial wallet you are using, check the deposit history. You would be able to access your previously used addresses. If you are not able to access it, you will be able to access the txid known as transaction hash or transaction ID, you will be see a clickable link, click on it and check the previous transactions on the blockchain, you will be able to see the address on blockchain. If the link is not clickable, you can copy the txid and paste it on blockchain explorer like https://www.blockchain.com/explorer to check the address.

I don't have "Remitano" and there's no documentation about viewing the address list,
but there's should be a list of your previous deposit addresses since it's stated in their support page that "all are your wallet addresses".

What happens when you click "Dashboard->Wallets", then the (triple dots) menu of your Bitcoin wallet?
If there's an option to view your previous addresses, then there it is.

It really depends on the service you're using. With a non-custodial wallet like Electrum for example you'll have access to all your previous addresses, but with a custodial wallet like the one you're showing maybe you won't have access to older addresses.

Most probably every time you click that button a new address is generated and there's no way of going back. Don't worry though, that previous address is still valid and if you receive bitcoin there you'll still get it.

By the way, I noticed you don't want to make this address public as you redacted it, just letting you know that the QR code contains the full wallet address you're redacting, so make sure to redact the QR Code as well.

It depends on what wallet you use. Can you tell us what custodial wallet you are using?

If it's a blockchain wallet then you can find an old used wallet on the settings or if you are using Electrum then you can find all use and unused addresses under the addresses tab it's hidden by default so you can find it under view>show addresses.

It looks like that you are using Remitano according to the image name?

I tried to create an account but it seems I couldn't find where I can't find old addresses unless if the address already has a transaction. Under 3 dots there are 4 options deposit, withdrawal, change and sell to cash. So if you deposited a Bitcoin before you can find it under deposit history I don't know if you can reuse the address but that's the only option they have. I can't find anything from their support if it's allowed to reuse it.
