Title: Error, which leads to the automatic creation of address
Post by: ibnteo on March 03, 2011, 01:12:21 PM
In some cases the renaming of the recipient (Sending Name) leads to a new address in Receiving list, I have 4 of such new address.
Ubuntu Linux 10.10, Bitcoin 0.3.20.1 beta.

Extra addresses are harmless clutter, so don't worry about them.

I already checked, addresses the workers, but would not want to get a bunch of unnecessary addresses, because they can not be removed.

I appear to have several addresses that were generated without me using the generate button, so it's probably normal.
Since using a new address for each transaction makes it easier to track each transaction, you can just rename them as you need them.
