Title: does generated bitcoin wallets stay always?
Post by: shockwave on December 27, 2016, 01:26:55 PM
hi people
every few days blockchain generates new wallet for me additionally with the old one
what i wanted to ask is if for example i ask someone to send money to one of my generated wallets i will always get the bitcoins even after 1 year that blockchain already generated hundreds of wallets
all of them linked to me? or i might lose funds if im not updating wallet address while receiving bitcoins
cheers

your question is service specific (blockchain.info wallet) and as far as i know they keep a record of all your wallets (bitcoin addresses) in your wallet section, you can find it in your account and you can give different names to all of them. so yes even after a year they are all there to use.

BrewMaster is right you will not lose funds if you use the new generated address in blockchain.info and even if you use your very first wallet address you'll still receive the funds and you can use it anytime. As your question was anwered already maybe you OP can lock this thread already (the button on the lower left side of this thread) to avoid spamming as this was asked and anwered already many times.
Thanks.

Seems someone could able to answer your query and its better to lock this thread to prevent more repetition answers regarding on the question.Back to topic,every bitcoin address that is being generated Is unique and once you already generate it then you do only own it and no other could able to use that and no matter how long you didn't use that address you could stable access it as long you do have the keys of that particular wallet.

Auto generated new address is called an HD wallet btw. Afaik, coinbase also uses HD wallets and same as there is an option to use an HD wallet in wallets like mycelium and electrum not only blockchain.info wallets.
Those addresses being generated are all linked to one wallet.
