How many bitcoin address you have right now? why you have more than one?

[Ryananda]

I just have one bitcoin address for nowadays but if i need more then one address in future for many different uses, i will make second until third address again.

If I only have one bitcoin address because I had only one goal in bitcoin is only collected on a signature campaign.
Maybe if I was interested in gambling or other trades that even I will make a few more addresses

Multiple addresses in multiple wallets for a multitude of reasons.

When I was mining it was nice to have separate wallets for each pool.
As others have pointed out: it is an excellent way to track invoices.
Some coin is stored offline and some to spend.


One of my addresses is a function of having a Coinbase account.
I think I'm about to try the Shift card linked to a Coinbase account,
and in that case it is a comfort to think that only what is in that account
is at risk (for whatever the usual and/or unforeseen risks may be ;-)

Right now a have i more than 20 address. And 3 wallet. 2 exchanges and 1blockchain. I dont have a cold storage i dont have a knowledge about it yet maybe if i have a huge amount i make one. Blockchain is my favorite its easy to use and its awesome features

[protzein]

my xapo wallet address always change each transaction. doesn't it count as more than one
but i only have one wallet

[pooya87]

i have multiple addresses that i have lost count of them. they are mostly from old addresses that i have used over the years.

i also have around 10 fixed addresses for cold storage, receiving faucet payouts, receiving other payments like signature campaing and an address to spend from on my online wallet.

I choose more than 10 bitcoin address .. I chose to use many addresses as to ensure the safety of my main bitcoin address.

[Pattart]

yeah better to have many addresses,
more confidential and anonymous, there is no prohibition also wear a lot of addresses
I have more than 100 addresses

[milewilda]

my xapo wallet address always change each transaction. doesn't it count as more than one
but i only have one wallet

That is more than one address.

I have more than 20 wallets. In each wallet, I use many address for different transactions.

[Cuidler]

I also have more addresses, but I found the highest challenge is not linking my adresses together when spending. Doable, but it needs additional effort.

When whatching some videos about bitcoin i came to know there is lots of address can be made for bitcoin almost unlimited. So creating many addresses doesn't seem to affect bitcoin network.

I have around 3 address 2 of those are cold wallet address and 1 main everyday hot wallet. I have Cold wallet to store in safer place and stop me from spending madly in gamblings.


How much bitcoin address do you have and why you have to create more than one address?

>100. Because I can not imagine how you keep track of things with just a single address. For every deal (except low value) I generate a new address and usually for long term deal (e.g. sig campaigns) a new address monthly. When I see an incoming payment on the address I labeled with "vanitygen Quickseller x 20" I know who paid me for what. How do you do this with just a single address?

The other thing is, with the high number of addresses its difficult for someone to know how much bitcoin I have in total. If you just have a few its pretty easy to find them.

What I do is also pretty much it. I have several adresses in my Mycellium wallet, and for each one I have a proper tag that helps me readily identify where those transactions are coming from.

I have 2 wallets, i actually had one on xapo but just because some websites doesnt support xapo wallet so i had to make another on blockchain.info, so now i have two.

[milewilda]

I have quite a few bitcon address. I use one for each transaction. I will not use the address for long time to have privacy.

[randy8777]

i used to have around 5 to 8 different bitcoin addresses as cold wallet, but i have sent all the coins in these addresses to just 3 wallets just to make it easy to manage. and for sending and receiving transactions i nowadays use a different bitcoin address every time. if you have a lot wallets it takes quite a bit of your time to make different backups of all the addresses.

[BellaBitBit]

Several, some have only a little bit.  I like that some wallets give you a new address everytime for new transactions.  Just feels better to not have everything in one place.

[SirLancelot]

I have few addresses in different wallet types. I always prefer to have more wallets than sticking with a single wallet. I believe this is minimizing my risk even with cold storage. I do have exact address count.

[tailwate07]

I have around 6-7 addresses in blockchain.info, The reason of it being more than one is nothing specific, It's easy and simple to generate a new address and wanted a bigger variety IMO.

[ShrykeZ]

I have around 5 or so offline and use only 3 active addresses across different devices. This is of course not including any auto generated change addresses.

[Aamir1]

I have 4 wallets, 2 online wallets for daily use and 2 cold wallets for storing my bitcoins.

[AliceWonderMiscreations]

A bitcoin address is an invoice number.  It's a way to keep track of a specific payment request.  Therefore, it doesn't make any sense to re-use bitcoin addresses. I use a new address for every transaction, so by now I probably have several hundred bitcoin addresses.

That's a great way to explain it! I to have several hundred addresses from different transactions.

Except it doesn't include donation addresses which usually are re-used, unlike invoice numbers.
