Title: Alternative to multibit?
Post by: JackieAss on May 04, 2017, 06:47:18 AM
Im still stuck on Multibit Classic and the feed issue is drivning me crazy! However i cant find another client that can give me what i need like MC.

Its the function in MC that i can ask it to generate 100 adresses, and then i can easy extract those 100 addresses from MC and add them to my payment system on my website.

Is there really not another client that can give me that option?

Why don't you use the newer Multibit HD? I'm using it and have not found any problem so far, working alright.
If you want to change, I hear Armory is a good one so you can try that too.

Because the have removed that funktion in multibit hd, there i can only generate 1 addresse at the time, and i takes forever that way.

Armory is the same thing. Only supports generation of 1 addr at the time.

Electrum allows you to pre-generate addresses (http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#how-can-i-pre-generate-new-addresses)... assuming the 50 or so it pre-generates isn't enough... You could always manually edit the gap limit in the config file so it pre-generated more...

To get a giant copy/pastable list, you can just use listaddresses() in the console (note, this includes ALL the addresses including change addresses and already used addresses)

There are probably other console commands that might be helpful, but I've only just started to delve into the Electrum console environment ;)

I couldn't see that option in electrum that you can generate 50 addresses. upon checking the link you shared i only see the code
"for x in range(0, 50):
     print wallet.create_new_address(False)"

How we can apply or type this command to receive almost 50 address in one wallet?

Did you actually read that link?  ???

If you need to pre-generate more addresses, you can do so by typing wallet.create_new_address(False) in the console.

The console in Electrum is pretty much an interactive Python mode... so you can type in various Python commands/code... so you simply type the commands into the console. :P

Also, if you (or anyone reading this) should choose to do this... please take note of the warning on that link:

Quote
WARNING: Addresses beyond the gap limit will not automatically be recovered from seed. To recover them will require either increasing the client’s gap limit or generating new addresses until the used addresses are found.
