Title: Difference between bitcoin mixing and adress rotating ?
Post by: Bitconified on January 15, 2015, 11:35:44 PM
Hi,Few wallets including the electron claim to rotate adresses which makes tracking payments difficult ?Is that true and is rotation adresses a alternative to mixing your coins ?
Secondly i know the receving address on electrum can be used only once but what about the sending adress of our electrum wallet ,is it different everytime we send ?

Don't know what's address rotating but it can't be same as mixing and you're wrong about that electrum's receiving address can only be used once, any address can be used as many times as you want. And you can only send from the address that actually contains the funds.
