[Do you also separate the "where you bought"?]

Separating your kyc and no-kyc coins in different wallets is basic knowledge. Understood.

But:
Do you also separate the "where you bought"? One wallet for each exchange/platform/vendor/seller?

I mean, do you have a separate wallet for each Hodlhodl, Bisq, Robosats, etc. at no-kyc?
And then at kyc: do you have a separate one for Relai, one for Kraken and so on?

In order not to mix the coins?

Last night we (five friends) had a lively discussion about reusing receiving addresses. The consensus was: for small amounts, new (never used) addresses are the way to go. Especially to protect privacy.

But what if you plan to buy BTC for a lot of money at once? Like 10,000 or 50,000 USD or even more?

Would you use an address twice to be 100% sure that the address works as expected and sends the BTC to your wallet? Would you perform a test transaction first and then reuse the address for the main purchase if the test is successful?

Or would you trust the wallet's algorithm and use a new address, even if you buy for a lot of money?

Fun fact: there were 5 of us and it felt like 8 different points of view! :-)

[why Bitcoin Core opens a "Cormorant" wallet each time I open Sparrow wallet.]

Hey there!

I am a Sparrow wallet beginner as well as a Bitcoin Core newbie and I don’t understand, why Bitcoin Core opens a "Cormorant" wallet each time I open Sparrow wallet. I don't want that.

I googled a lot and also searched this forum for keywords "cormorant", "Sparrow" etc. but no further clues.

My setup:
I have Bitcoincore (…and nothing but Bitcoincore…) running on one computer (Linux Ubuntu) and installed Sparrow on another computer on MacOS (10.15 Catalina). I created a new wallet in Sparrow and transferred a small test amount to it. TX successful, I can see the small amount in Sparrow. So far, so good.

But why do I see this amount and all the details about it ALSO on the Linux computer where BCC is running? I want to manage my transactions just on the Mac in Sparrow...

And each time I close the "cormorant" wallet and delete the "cormorant" wallet data within the ./bitcoin/wallets/cormorant folder, it reappears as soon as I open Sparrow on the Mac.

– Can I disable the "cormorant" wallet somehow? Or is it necessary?
– Are my BCC server settings wrong? I've done it the way the Sparrow page says: https://sparrowwallet.com/docs/connect-node.html

The settings:
- - - - -
server=1
txindex=1

[main]
rpcbind=[Here the IP of the LINUX computer with Bitcoincore]
rpcallowip=[Here the IP of the Mac computer with Sparrow]
- - - - -

Any help is much appreciated!
