....The address used to send money can be fresh. The inputs, however, will come from other addresses....

Doug,

This is confusing to me. If "the address used to send money" is not where the inputs come from, what are you referring to? The address you are sending money to? Or do you have something else in mind?

Sorry. I'm scatterbrained today.

I was thinking about coin control and got a couple of ideas mixed up. Yes, money is sent from previous addresses. What I meant to say is that coin control may be necessary to not link certain addresses, not to mention you should always have the change sent to a new address unless you have a reason for recycling addresses.

No, when you send, it must be from an address that you've previously received money at. At a technical level, this is simply how Bitcoin works: not account/wallet balances, but transactions to/from addresses.

This isn't exactly true. The address used to send money can be fresh. The inputs, however, will come from other addresses. If you're not careful, this can expose the fact that multiple addresses are actually controlled by the same person/entity.

The way that Armory sends and receives bitcoins is fairly privacy-conscious, but you should still assume that someone determined could figure out which transactions are yours. If you want to obscure this to a high degree, use a bitcoin mixer of some kind or CoinJoin.

When I send from my wallet it shows where it comes from, showing all my founds in it.

The public transaction will only show the addresses involved in the transaction, which will typically not be *all* of the addresses in your wallet.

Not with Armory alone. You can find what you want by googling "bitcoin mixer"
