Title: Feature Request: Allow delete receiving address
Post by: 0ni0ns on December 20, 2011, 07:46:04 PM
I use a new address for almost every transaction, and the receive coins tab is getting really cluttered. It would be nice to be able to "delete" these addresses, obviously we don't actually want to remove the private key, but can't the deleted addresses be treated the same way as "change" addresses where they are not displayed? I'd even be happy with an external app for doing it. PyWallet?

If your wallet is not encrypted it's 'easy' with pywallet: grab the privkey of the address, delete it with pywallet then import it back as a change address
If it's encrypted you'll have to wait for a patch or for me to find how to take care of encrypted wallets (btw if anybody can help me about that please pm me)

Bit of work since I have 100+ addresses, but I supposed I could just delete them, since I already moved the funds from them and they were 1-time withdrawls.

It would still be nice if the delete button on the bitcoin ui worked...why is it even there?
