Title: using same recieve address in electrum
Post by: soundluva on February 11, 2016, 12:37:36 PM
hi,

I have another newb questions. Basically i have withdrawn bitcoins to address that i have previously used before in electrum.

The thing is electrum has lots of different receiving addresses.

Am i ok to have used the same received address?

I assume the coins will have to show up there.

thanks

it's okay but it is not recommended because of privacy issues[1]. though I personally uses the same address multiple times.
