I used bitcoin many times to send and receive. However each time i receive, i believe i gave the site a different btc address. I use Electrum. Can someone tell me what is the receiving address i should give a site when they ask for my bitcoin address to receive btc in the future? I believe they probably want to send btc only to that address and dont want to ask me for btc address each time.
In Receiving and Used... i see 3 btc address that was used twice. I see 5 btc address that hasn't been used. I see under Change... 4 btc address and one of them has been used once and this address currently holds my btc. So which btc address should i give? Also i notice in many users here... they post their btc address in their profile. So i could choose any of these btc addresses available? So i could have 10btc at one address and 5 btc in another address in electrum? Or its best to keep it all in one address?
Thank you.

Bitcoin addresses are disposable, you can use them so many times, but it's better to use different addresses for different payments.
I have one for faucets, other for small tasks...

Generating a new address for every incoming transaction is good for privacy reasons. When address is used multiple times, the whole transaction history can be seen on block chain and a block chain analysis can reveal activities you were involved in, like gambling etc.If you're not much paranoid about privacy, it is completely fine to use single address for multiple incoming transactions.

Yes, you can have your balance divided in multiple addresses or you can keep them in single address. It does not affect your usage. When you want to send the funds, either Electrum can manage the addresses on its own based on the amount you want to send, or you can tell it to use a specific address.
Best practice is to create a new receiving address EACH time you receive a payment. This way you avoid creating long transaction chains and can remain more anonymous.
A hundred times this! Each payment you receive should be on a new address.
If you have too many linked transactions then it is easy for a would be thief or hacker to target you. This is a disadvantage of bitcoin. Anonymity is not just for crooks and tax evaders, it is for everyone. You wouldn't walk around with a sign on your back advertising how much money is in your pocket would you? I think for most of us it is not a big deal because we don't have that much in bitcoins. However if you have some, even a few k worth of fiat, then it is advisable to switch your address regularly.
this is only true for real life thieves, hacker can do nothing if you store them in a cold wallet, no matter the amoout you are holding

Also if you want to dissociate yourself with an address you can use a mixing service. Its not just for crooks! I have never used a mixer, and I have heard that some can be scammers so read up on them before you decide.
I think that you are confusing multi-sig and simply changing your address for your wallet. I believe that electrum does this automatically unless you tell it not to.

I personally used address in "Receiving" option, also i have 2 addy on "Used" option which i already used, actually you can use an addy which show in "Receiving" option and your balance is still the same, i never use an addy in "Change" option.

Would using BlockChain.info be an option? They're a pretty decent online wallet with a static address.
