Title: extra public key on my watch only wallet! Post by: AbsoluteZero on December 23, 2013, 05:01:07 AM I am running Electrum on an offline PC.
On my online PC I have an extra public address! (5 addresses on offline PC, 6 on online PC with watch only wallet) The change addresses are the same for both (3 of them) What is going on? I did not import any private keys. This is just from the public master key Title: Re: extra public key on my watch only wallet! Post by: deepceleron on December 23, 2013, 05:07:55 AM Electrum allows you to create any number of deterministic addresses (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Electrum/Documentation#What_is_a_.22Deterministic_Wallet.22_in_Electrum.3F) that are based on the initial seed. You could have done something that asked for another deterministic address; press "new address" on your offline PC and it will likely be the same extra address.

OK this worked: typing this in console: wallet.accounts[0].create_new_address(0) I should have searched before but kind of freaked out! I did not know that could get more addresses in Electrum. Super cool! |
