Post by: Meuh6879 on October 20, 2014, 10:33:59 PM
Hello,

so ... i have "update" the bitcoin android wallet to v4.05
i have understand that i must tip on the QR code (top left) to view the BTC receive adress (OK ... )

I have backup.
And then, i want to retrieve the backup.

No problem, the sum of the wallet is OK ... but when i tip on the QR code on the top left, the BTC receive adress have change !

Where is the original adress ?!?
I use a single adress to store multiple transfer from my exchange !

I don't see anything like a book note to view the receive adress ...


Aaaaaaah ! A merchand have generally only ONE ADRESS that it stick on the board of his store ...  :o And you change this every you restore a backup ?!?

OK, it's the "new" HD strategic ... i don't like this, personaly.

I want to receive funds from a single adress... how can i display my first BTC adress in this HD determinist wallet (with 100 keys ... like i think that it work) ... ?

Nobody stops you to use one of the addresses of your wallet and stick it to the board of your store. Of course all payments to that address will arrive at your wallet.

However, it's not recommended. Everyone can look up how much your store earned.

My problem (on you app) is to view the "first" BTC adress that it have already receive funds.
When i tip on this transaction, i have only the sender adress ... not my received BTC adress.

When i tip on "browse" (to open biteasy) ... I have 4 adress (OK, i remember one of the adress ... in my mind) but in the future, how can i view the "good" and "original" first adress that it have receive the 1st transaction in the HD wallet ?

I understand the privacy aspect of the HD wallet, too.

OK, backup and restore (like i use to avoid a stealing phone) work ... even if i have a new adress (received fund) created everytime i restore the HD wallet.

I don't need to backup ... always ... when i received fund on each new adress created on the HD wallet system.
