Well, I just got into the Bitcoin scene today, so I can say frankly that I had to write down my address as its too long to remember.
Hope my entry into this scene will prove profitable for me.. Wink

My only static address is the sig.  It is one from when I first started in BTC. I do not have it memorized.

I don't remember by Bitcoin address but what I do know is the 1st 3 characters and last 3 characters. I don't plan to memorize the whole address as it will just be a reason to make a mistake when forwarding your address to someone.

Ok that sounds like a silly question, but what I mean to say is do you know it all, in your head - could you write down the full address with no errors?

I have several vanity addresses and of course know the primary details but not the rest, including upper / lower case and number sequences.

I have been thinking about this lately and just wanted to put it out there  Grin

i have a QR code on the back of my business cards..
easy to hand out and easy for recipients to scan.. rather then hand typing the lengthy address..

writing out the lengthy address is soo old school. something not really done in the 21st century of camera's or copy&paste.

but the other question you can ask.. does anyone know their entire credit/debit card number off by heart.. i think you will get the same low percentage of people saying yes


i use one credit card all the time to buy things online.. i have the numbers memorized.  actually several people i know, know their credit card number by heart.  it just saves time if you shop online alot.  and yes i know i should be buying everything with bitcoin not credit cards, but that time is just not here yet.

also theres no point to know your bitcoin address.. on the other hand if you could memorize your private key, thats a different story.

FYI, If you do remember first few characters of your bitcoin address,  blockonomics has a handy feature to search vanity addresses (supports prefixes of 4-10 characters).

I don't think we need to remember the whole bitcoin address. What I normally do is to remember the first 5 and the last 4  characters of it, to make sure I send the correct address to the senders, or send to the correct address. That is enough.

I'm not sure if anyone remembers the first 10 characters of his address Tongue

Why would someone do that? Except if he wanted to be a human wallet?

I use many addresses for different transactions. So I do not remember any of the addresses.

I know the very first and very last letter of my main addy... Offcourse i don't know all letters of all addresses i ever used...

Offcourse, when you create a vanity address, it might be easyer to remember more letters, but i think there's a danger in using these, since a malicious user might create an address with the same starting letters in order to confuse you or somebody that has to send you some coins

Not really for what comes to me , I have my address (with blockchain.info) on my Bookmarks so when I need I just go there but I most of the time I know the first four/five characters of my address (In case I have that kind of virus that paste another address when you copy yours or something) It can be useful to remember a little part of your address sometimes  .

I don't know my address.  I tend to use a few different ones and there is no reason to really memorise your address when you can just copy amd paste it, we have moved so far from the days when you had to remember things  Smiley
