Title: Am I the only one who does this? Post by: Bizmark13 on April 17, 2014, 10:43:53 AM For example, one of my addresses is 1PFMGybSCDnoq8bHtzQD2vUfyHohsH8FF5. Whenever I need to search for it, I just type in "Hohs" and it usually pops up in Firefox's address bar. Obviously it beats memorizing the whole thing and it's way faster than loading up my wallet and copying it from there as well.

LoLz ..nice ...we all do it ;) Title: Re: Am I the only one who does this? Post by: MUFC on April 17, 2014, 12:06:04 PM That's because yours has 'hohs' in it.
Title: Re: Am I the only one who does this? Post by: Dogtanian on April 17, 2014, 12:12:22 PM I sometimes just type the first few letters into the address bar and it brings it up.
Title: Re: Am I the only one who does this? Post by: roslinpl on April 17, 2014, 12:23:15 PM yes it is working, but for me I am always checking address anyway to make sure it is correct.
Typing just a part of it can generate a mistake :) Title: Re: Am I the only one who does this?

Title: Re: Am I the only one who does this? Post by: Flashman on April 17, 2014, 04:11:27 PM You'd be better off remembering the first 5, the chances of a repeat there are fairly small, unless you get a vanity address.
With only 4 characters "somewhere" in the string, you might get your BTC sent to somebody else. Always double check anyway though. Title: Re: Am I the only one who does this? Post by: jparsley on April 17, 2014, 04:29:53 PM Yep it works for me too.
Title: Re: Am I the only one who does this? Post by: Equate on April 17, 2014, 04:37:03 PM It works for everyone with their wallet address.
Title: Re: Am I the only one who does this? Post by: blacksails on April 17, 2014, 04:48:33 PM I have my address in a text document in my dock (I'm on mac), so I constantly just copy it to my clipboard like my life depended on it lol! :D
Title: Re: Am I the only one who does this? Post by: Harlbatr on April 17, 2014, 06:05:00 PM always double check crypto addresses, there is no reverse action if you are mistaken.
Title: Re: Am I the only one who does this? Post by: Velkro on April 17, 2014, 06:21:15 PM thats why vanity addresses are for :) so much easier to use
my address 1veLkroTLLvky76tJEKr2VmEpEPtdjkJZ Title: Re: Am I the only one who does this? Post by: Flashman on April 17, 2014, 06:24:51 PM Oh yes, vanity addresses.
Let's say there was one created by Mr Dice, can you tell me which address Mr Dice would like his bitcoins sent to? It should be easy enough to find. Title: Re: Am I the only one who does this? Post by: Nerazzura on April 17, 2014, 06:25:26 PM never try like this before
always type "1" and bunch of address appear and make me confuse ??? Title: Re: Am I the only one who does this? Post by: ethan@cryptguru on April 17, 2014, 10:31:34 PM It works for everyone with their wallet address. Until you clear your browser cache... :-) Title: Re: Am I the only one who does this? Post by: btcjamads on April 18, 2014, 01:27:27 AM hehe. that's a great idea.
Title: Re: Am I the only one who does this? Post by: Salmon1989 on April 18, 2014, 08:59:37 AM I created a txt file on desktop storing my few addresses, so I can copy and paste it in 10 seconds :)
Title: Re: Am I the only one who does this? Post by: nismhjt on April 18, 2014, 01:40:27 PM I do it to a lot in blockchain.info
Title: Re: Am I the only one who does this? Post by: sgk on April 18, 2014, 02:32:41 PM It works for everyone with their wallet address. Until you clear your browser cache... :-) That's right. If you use a crap cleaner (like CCleaner I am using), you'll lose all cached browser data every few days. Title: Re: Am I the only one who does this? Post by: sanjoea on April 18, 2014, 03:04:57 PM I don't do it like it , but no idea about others
