Yes - that's right - the change always goes to the second address, if it is present.
If there is just one address in your wallet it uses that as the change address.

so address 2 is always the change address?
I believe Jim has confirmed this before, but I don't remember where's the post.

Also, in both cases you are forgetting the fee (0.0001, I think...).

that is what I wanted to say just like now Smiley So I just quote.

The first one is correct.
For the second one I'm not entirely sure, but sending to yourself doesn't usually make sense (unless the address is in a different wallet).

Also, in both cases you are forgetting the fee (0.0001, I think...).

is it that the second address of N addresses that I have is the change address for all transactions.

so say I have addresses 1- 5

1 has 1BTC
2 has 0BTC
3 has 1 BTC
4 has 3BTC
5 has 2BTC

If I send from 5 1 btc to some other address afterwards I would have


1 has 1BTC
2 has 1 BTC
3 has 1 BTC
4 has 3BTC
5 has 0 BTC

Is that right?Huh


then say I send 0.5 from 2 to 4

1 has 1BTC
2 has 0.5 BTC
3 has 1 BTC
4 has 3.5BTC
5 has 0 BTC

because 2 sends 0.5 to itself as it is the change address?


thanks in advance
