Title: Bitcoin Wallet for Android question (problem?)
Post by: StarGalactic on October 19, 2014, 08:58:04 PM
Recently in Bitcoin Wallet for android (version 4.05) I've noticed that every so often my main address will randomly change where as before it would never do this. Is this a specific function of this version? Also the address used to be displayed in the top left corner of the screen and it isn't anymore. I have to click the QR code to display it.

Has anybody ran into this? Is this normal behaviour?

it's the new "HD" strategy.

The app does its best to not reuse addresses any more. "Request coins" will use a fresh address on each invocation. The current address in the QR code on the main page changes as soon as coins are received on it.
