Dear Members,
I am new to Bitcoin.
Just experienced the grueling process of downloading the block chain (4 days).
I do have a problem, that I can't seem to reconcile, if someone could cast an experienced eye over this please.
The 'Bitcoin Core - Wallet' window shows no address for the wallet itself (refer to attachment).
Have checked that the wallet does exist (under Bitcoin on my computer) and have made a couple of test transactions by requesting payment (via the Receive tab on the 'Bitcoin Core - Wallet' window ).
But for the life of me I cannot find the wallet address itself <a rather large string I believe> (which I assume I need to do any bitcoin transaction to or from my wallet - right?)
Much appreciated if you can assist
Regards
Nioctib
You need to generate a wallet by clicking request payment. Addresses are already pregenerated in your wallet.dat. Don't forget to backup it. Some addresses are also hidden as they are change addresses though. You can just use coin control function if you need to spend a specific output.
