Thanks to all of those who posted the wiki article on change. That was probably the most enlightening wiki article that I've read since I started with bitcoin.
It can be a lot of fun to discover new details about the technical side of the system that makes our money move.

awesome, just tried it on both my addresses and it works a charm
A similar thing happened to me. I have sent some coins to address A only to see some more sent at the same time to address B. If I understand correctly, I also control address B so I haven't lost out. I am using bitcoin-qt under linux. Is there a way I can see inside my wallet to confirm that I control both of these addresses? I don't doubt the integrity of bitcoin, I just want to learn more.
Not sure where you can find it in the linux version, but bitcoin-qt has a Debug Window with a console (in Mac it's under Help - Debug Window - Console). Open it and type validateaddress

Hi,
I was looking at an address from my wallet on the blockchain and I have a transaction of .6btc to another address which I did not make and there is no record of it in my wallet.The time stamp on it is the same as a transaction of .1btc I made to my Celinium phone wallet to test it out.
My wallet balance is showing the correct amount just wondering why it shows .6btc has been sent to another address when my wallet records it has not.
Any ideas
