Title: Blockchain Watch Only
Post by: Narydu on April 06, 2013, 11:27:47 PM
This might be a silly question but got no answer fron the blockchainīs zendesk support for a week now.
If I add a watch only address into my wallet is there any unlucky chance to have my change sent to them if using the web or the app?

Thanks in advance!

Good question. I've seen to have done that very thing to a small amount of coins.  Somehow when I was setting up double encryption protection, I must have somehow set it to 'watch only' and now it's telling me that there is no private key for this address.

With blockchain.info, the change goes back to the original address, which is the address from which it was sent.

So the answer to you question based on my experience, is NO.
