Title: Remove accounts? Post by: sentry on May 09, 2011, 10:53:43 PM Hey, I was wondering if there was a way to remove accounts other than starting a new wallet? Mostly for aesthetic purposes...
Title: Re: Remove accounts? Post by: BitterTea on May 09, 2011, 11:17:27 PM Not currently, and it would only be safe if you had never given out any of the addresses you delete. Otherwise, someone could send some to that address and those coins would be out of circulation forever, or until SHA256 is broken, whichever comes first.
Best way (IMO) would be to create a new wallet, send your balance there, and archive your old one. Title: Re: Remove accounts?

How do you guys manage to find the addresses you're actually looking for? It's starting to become a real challenge to me :D.
Title: Re: Remove accounts? Post by: sentry on May 09, 2011, 11:34:43 PM What I do is put a number next to the ones I often use, for example:
1Personal 2Mining 3Donations Those 3 always stay at the top of my list. Its ugly, but works for me. Title: Re: Remove accounts? Post by: randomguy7 on May 10, 2011, 12:20:24 AM Do you use the client without the gui, like with some custom build interface, maybe directly with bitcoind? Because the default client is using the addresses to order the address book entries, not the labels. If I could order them by the label I would also find my stuff.
