Title: Need help regarding to change addresses
Post by: kolesozw on March 15, 2016, 09:57:22 AM
I wanted to know if it would be possible to send btc from my wallet without sending any btc to my change addresses on the same wallet. I just want to use only one address. Thanks.

you can do this by using electrum and importing your own private key.
If you generate a wallet, and only import 1 private key (for example, a key you generated with vanitygen), the change will always be sent back to your own address...

For bitcoin core, or other SPV clients, i have no idear if this is possible.

Make sense, was thinking the same too but not sure about it :D Thanks for the reply

Is importing private key the only way to do that , or is there any alternative?

Well... I can only speak about electrum, but you can also disable the option "use change address". I have never tried it, but it should give you the same result. Maybe somebody with more technical knowledge can confirm this?
tools => preferences => Transactions => use change address

Seems you're quite not sure about that :D I'll just wait for someone who's more technical to confirm that.

Thanks again
