Title: Bitcoin-QT wallet addresses Post by: soy on March 19, 2017, 04:04:45 PM Rebuilding for some time now a Bitcoin-QT I had let lapse.
I see transactions from 2015 into the wallet that indicate mined and show a particular address. In the debug window I run 'getaccountaddress "" ' and get a single address. I run 'getaddressesbyaccount "" ' and still get the one address and it isn't the address showing up corresponding to that in mined. So, is the address used for mined btc in still capable of receiving payouts from any pool? Title: Re: Bitcoin-QT wallet addresses Post by: achow101 on March 19, 2017, 04:06:26 PM Yes. Accounts and addresses are separate from each other. The account system is deprecated and should not be used. It really is more like a labeling system now. The account that an address is in is based upon the label that you set on it.

Okay, so I went with Eligius a few years back and rebuilding the blockchain I see transactions of an address I labeled Eligius. I thought that was a private label only applicable to my wallet. So, that label would appear to Slush if I tried to use that address again?

It has nothing to do with the actual Bitcoin network or the blockchain. |
