Topic: Creating multiple new addresses (Read 630 times)
Bitaddress.org, and you can import than into bitcoin-qt with a simple script but I would keep them in cold storage.
Look inside wallet.dat file as that should have 100 addresses already generated.
client just does not show them there

Just wondering, what do you need that many addresses for? Are you planning on selling something and using a different address for everyone or something like that?
Ok, i'll try it this way, thanks
there is a debug menu you can type that into

Not sure if the best, but you can always put 'bitcoind getnewaddress' inside a for loop and write the output to the database.

They are in the keypool though correct? How do i list them out in plain txt?
you can generate a lot but you may hit performance issues with >1000.
100 addresses are generated by default. you can increase that by modifying your bitcoin.conf file and increasing the keypool:
# Pre-generate this many public/private key pairs, so wallet backups will be valid for
# both prior transactions and several dozen future transactions.
#keypool=100

Is there an easy way for me to create many addresses (1000+) in bitcoin-qt, and list them in text format so i can get them into a database?
Also, as far as i am aware, addresses never get deleted from the client do they? Is there a limit on the number of addresses held in the bitcoin-qt client or can i keep making them indefinitely?
