Delete addresses in bitcoin qt(sortof)

[lch]

I propose that a delete function be added to the "receive coin" section of bitcoin-qt.

However this function will only, move the public, private key pair into a different section of the client. This section should be labelled "junk". At any point in time, a user can go to the junk section, select a public, private key pair and "reinstate" the junked keys. Which will more the public/private key pair back to the receive coin section.

This helps me organize my addresses since most addresses are only used once.

That would be very useful

You would always want to be able to receive money to old addresses (even if you never expect to) but it does make sense to have perhaps an "Active" status that can be switched on or off (with a check box for displaying "Active Only" that is checked by default).

I would suggest the option be called "hide" because thats all you really want.

So: right click address > click "hide" from drop down menu.

Maybe have a button at the bottom that shows all addresses that you have hidden. (obviously this will not show all addresses because all the change addresses would confuse the user a lot)

Eventually a coin control feature in the default client would make managing addresses easier perhaps by allowing tags and filters (tag certain addresses as one use etc...)

Also maybe allow the user to move certain addresses to a different wallet. (When the default client can handle multiple wallets) (so a user could have a wallet just for one time addresses, another wallet for those permanent addresses that are locked at exchanges and such, and etc...)
