But in all thanks for clearing this up for me, when I can issue as many adresses as I want I have a way to track payments, even in a large business environment.

Yes, and you can also issue and ask for separate receipts.

when I pay with physical cash I usually get a receipt on what that cashed was used for and even the receiving business keeps a copy for their records.

Pretty much explains why we never need to worry about running out of addresses!  Wink

Hi all,

when I make a regular bank transaction I have the opportunity to send a message to the recipient, usually a text of what this payment is about (client number , bill number etc.).
Bitcoin is currently lacking such an option. If it shall be used more widely, I believe it is necessary such an option will be included in the client/infrastructure.
Otherwise it is impossible for a bigger company to effectively track payments.

Tell me, when you pay for something with physical cash, do you write a message on the banknotes first?

I'm pretty sure banknotes are used widely.

Yeah don't worry, address space is huge, and unused addresses will be reassigned.
Just think about those "vanity address" miners, they throw away millions of addresses just to keep the ONE they like Wink .

is there a limit to the amount of adresses I can assign?
For bigger companies this might be a crucial point.
If I have 100'000 transactions per month that I want to monitor, I would need 100'000 adresses - per month.
Is the system capable of providing that?


Can't see any reason why it wouldn't be...

Do you mean, is the address space big enough? In which case, hell yes.

Let's say I sell 10 items with the same price and 8 people pay me, I will have a pretty hard time finding out who did and who did not pay me so far.
You can create 10 addresses so you can give different addresses to different people.

alright, sending out payments I usually know what I am doing, but I am more concerned about the recipient.

To track payment you have to issue a new address every time. This is how it works.  Wink
