thnx but what about the fees is it true that i need to pay X10 higher fees if i have my balance split to 10 diffrent adresses as Hazink@ said

Assuming you receive coins on five different addresses, or five times on the same address, if you want to spend all at ones, you will need to pay higher fee than if you send all the coins at ones to a single address.

Just like I said on your other thread, the reason people use different addresses is because of privacy.

On the console, use this command:

Code:

wallet.change_gap_limit(200)

It will give you lists of 200 addresses. You can edit the number to the number of addresses that you want.

You can send out the coins that you sent in at ones. But the more you split the coins, having higher UTXOs, the more the fee if you want to send out at ones. I think you should be able to understand.

If you do not want to waste money on fee, this is not the right time to do that because the mempool is congested.

guys i want to use different adress at each deposit on my electrum for privacy
how to do that since electrum only showing 20 receiving adresses if you want like 100 - 200 adresses how to do that

The 20 free receiving addresses is Always there you can simply pick another address and when you receive bitcoin on that address, a new free receiving address is added to the remaining ones to make it free 20 addresses again. So on all occasions you will have 20 free addresses to be use except if you change it through gap limit I think

also i want to know if each private key can generate multiple adresses or not

That private key is called a master key or master seed and that’s what wallets which are HD wallets like electrum are meant for. A single master private can recover all those addresses.

also if i split 0.1 btc to 10 different adresses can i send 0.10 btc from electrum
or i need to make 10 transactions of 0.01 btc and pay the fees 10 times since each 0.01 is on different adress and different private keys

You can send each domination of bitcoin you want. You can also choose any address you want to send from using electrum by using the coin control feature. If the amount to be sent is higher that of amount of funds on that wallet then the wallet will add funds automatically from the other addresses if you don’t set a coin control

If your wallet is connected, I mean if you already have about 20 addresses, you can always find the new address option on your electronic wallet, and you will have to generate a new address from there.

From your previous thread , you will learn from other members that you can send from your holdings to any amount of wallet that you want to send it to, and you will not be charged differently, but the fee will be a sum of together, provided that you are sending it all at once, which is from 1 output into 10 inputs, just one fee, which you need to pay, but it will be higher than when you are just sending from one wallet to another.
