I recently downloaded MultiBit and obviously have my wallet address from that.
I then went to the site Coinbase and created an account. When I go into account settings and create a new Bitcoin address, I copy my MultiBit wallet address and paste it into the bar and press Create New Address. Once I do that, the address Coinbase now shows is different than the address I copied.
Is this a problem, or is this just them renaming my address to keep it secure? If I want to go online to the free Bitcoin sites or have someone send me Bitcoins, do I give them my MultiBit address or the one Coinbase gave me, which is different?
Not sure what's going on here, maybe somebody could explain? Thanks so much.
