Hi guys!

I just wanted to ask for a clarication regarding this... I am new on using BTC segwit wallets, and earlier today, I noticed that my segwit address changed (Native).
I initially know that some wallets generates new addresses everytime the address receives funds, this process is done so the transaction history will not be easy to track.
We can also still use the same address even our wallet's btc segwit wallet is changed.

I just don't know if it is also the case on Mycelium wallet... Is it?
And... can I still use the the previous address that I used to receive payments?

Just asking for clarifications because I heared some issues about Mycelium before.

Thanks!

Yes, you can still use the same address and that's valid for any other wallet that gives you access to your private keys.

And as for the issues you've heard about Mycelium, then those are probably related to the iOS version so If you have an iPhone, it might be better to switch to another wallet.

Most of the issues are with Mycelium on iOS which has been long abandoned. If you're on iOS then I wouldn't use Mycelium. Mycelium on Android is still actively developed and I've never had a problem with it.

And yes I have about 150 different addresses on my wallet but still happily receive coins on old addresses.

Yep this is also possible with Mycelium wallet

Yes, it applies to mycelium too. All the address associated with the HD wallet can still receive BTC at any time and the BTC can also be spent at any time so long as you have access to the wallet or seed phrase associated with the wallet.

I am an Android user... so based on what you guys just said, I guess it's more unlikely to for me to encounter problems that I've heared about Mycelium on iOS.
That's why there's nothing for me to worry about.
Thanks for clarifying it to me, you guys are great! :)

I'll lock this thread for now.

Cheers!
