Hi, I asked the same question on another sub forum and got the same answer as given by "Gabi". Could someone clarify some things for me, please:
- in another thread someone mentioned a bug that the 100 addresses are only created after a few transactions:
Really seems like the client should have an option to automatically backup the wallet after every transaction if this is the case ehh...
This thread is extremely old. Since then, we've implemented the creation of a pool of 100 (by default) pre-generated keys that your client will use. That means that a backup won't expire after each transaction anymore. However, you still need to do regular backups.
Note: there is currently a bug where the pool won't be created in a new wallet until a few transactions are made.
Is this bug fixed by now?
- If I click on the "New Address" button in the bitcoin client, will the client really create a "new" adress (and I have to update my backups) or will it use one of the 100 addresses in the buffer as long as there are some left?
- Is there a way to check how many of the 100 addresses are left?
