How many bitcoin addresses do you have ?

[ramcis]

Hey guys,

I would like to know how many bitcoin(other coins) addresses do you have and how are you managing them ? Currently, I'm having around 30 addresses (all coins combined) and I'm using a text file to manage them.

cheers

Only an online wallet? That's not so good.

Somewhere in the tens to a hundred. Switched to separate-address-per-txn not-so-long-ago.

Can you restart this thread as a poll so we can all easily see what the summary count is for people that have 1 wallet vs. 5 vs. 10?

It' makes it much easier to see the results and then we can discuss the results with comments.

Thanks.

You should have one address for each transaction because doing otherwise is privacy and security breach.

I understand why it's recommended to have different address for each transaction, but to honest, it's not that practical. How are you dealing with that ?

I have somewhere around 20-ish. I have been using 1 address per transaction, but I don't make that many outgoing transactions. My wallet keeps track of all of my addresses. That's what they are for, aren't they?

Absolutely true! Actually, my bitcoin wallet changes my address each time I receive payment. I'm not talking here about the addresses you have in your wallet, but the different kind of addresses you have for the exchanges you are using, the other coins, ...

I have around 10 all on blockchain.info too many transactions on one address make blockchain lag, when this happens i just empty the address into a new one and archive the old address

How do you know who is sending you coins if you dont have a different address for everyone? I wouldnt know how to make bookkeeping practical with a single address. Sounds very complicated to tell things apart.

Just put a label for each of the addresses for the purpose. According to core I used >80 addresses (excluding change adresses) and probably 20-30 more on mobile.

I create a separate address for every new service or website I use. I already have way over 50 addresses created for things I experiment with. There are simply too many tracking websites out there and people chasing after your money. I see no advantage of using only one or two addresses. Keep everything separated and protect your privacy.
