How to Check Balance of Individual Addresses within Multibit?

[sgk]

As the title says.

For example I have a Multibit wallet that contains 100 addresses. Multibit shows me the total balance of the wallet. I need to know which addresses make up this balance. Several addresses out of these 100 may be empty and there may be just a couple of addresses that make up the total balance of the wallet.

How do I know?

With Multibit you cannot. The developer's purposefully keep this information hidden to make the wallet a beginner's wallet. If you want to see each individual address and balance switch to Electrum 2.0.X.

Thank you for responding. I'll try Electrum.

As a work around, I can input addresses in blockchain.info and check balances. But if I need to check several addresses, it's a pain in the ass.

Just saw your thread after googling for the same thing.

that was something i was trying to figure out, too. Too bad it cannot be done, this is a big minus.

And another big minus, is that you cannot send coins from a specific address, (you can't choose which address to use when sending money).

Electrum lets you do both things.

This was something i wanted to figure out. I don't need to send finds from a specific address right now,  but i was imagining a scenario when you use different addresses for different people / purpose and then you want to continue funding then from the same address to maintain privacy.

I think i will have to switch to Electrum like jaxkbox has mentioned above.

as the posters said earlier, electrum is the best for what you need, but if you really want to, I think you can view individual address balances by just looking up each individual address on blockchain.info under "final balance."

Yes, that's what I am doing right now as a work around.

It works well if you have a handful of addresses but if you have several addresses, it is a pain in the butt to look up all of them individually on block chain.

a possible solution is using electrum, it shows the balance of addresses by default, but im not sure if you want to make the switch or not for just a small detail.

If you have an XPUB you can just search it on Blockchain and it will show all activity to that master public key.
