Title: Bitcoin-qt change address implementation specifics Post by: jimhsu on February 23, 2014, 09:31:17 PM Hi,
I tried googling, but couldn't find the answer to this. What is the specific pool of change addresses that bitcoin-qt chooses to send to? Let's say that I have a population of addresses in my wallet of the following types: 1. Manually generated by "create new address" 2. Automatically generated, but hidden as a change address (used before) 3. Automatically generated, but hidden as a change address (unused) 4. Manually imported via importprivkey that are knowingly insecure (let's say this is a public paper wallet for example's sake) Is there a chance of change going into any addresses of type (4)? If so, is there a way to remove that possibility from occuring? |
