How long have you had your Bitcoin Address?

[RiverBoatBTC]

I am interested to know if people keep addresses or use new ones all the time.

If you use new ones all the time, if you could explain why that would be great.
and do you identify yourself with your bitcoin address?

I have one adress who I had since I begin and for the other I change every 1 month.

Vote if you will please, I am doing a some research to see if a project is viable or not.

Ok excuse me I voted.

I use different ones, because it helps me keep track of where my BTC is going in and out, and because I get tired of look at the same letters all the time.

Ight, would you be opposed to having a main one just so people could identify you like a pgp key? you can always load private keys to your main wallet. Please vote as well thanks!

I've had it for a little while. I don't like changing it for no reason. Voted!

any reason why? If its DM's or whatever I understand and you do not have to say

Voted. 1-6 months. I think like 4 months. This reminds me of the Hotmail email address thread I saw. Many people said that they knew they should change their email address, but they'd had it for forever and it was associated with so many different accounts/sites, and it would be a huge hassle to switch. The sad thing is that I've had a hotmail email address a long time too.  

Anyways, I've had one (BTC addr.) for about 4-5 months, the same address I had when I started with Bitcoin just back in February. But I've learned a lot since then and jumped right in to the Bitcoin culture. I now own a Bitcoin site that has my own faucet, super stoked on that. I have another address however that I use to keep track of a lot of different things. But the original is 'Old Faithful' lol.

Bitcoin works with an unprecedented level of transparency that most people are not used to dealing with. All Bitcoin transactions are public, traceable, and permanently stored in the Bitcoin network. Bitcoin addresses are the only information used to define where bitcoins are allocated and where they are sent. These addresses are created privately by each user's wallets. However, once addresses are used, they become tainted by the history of all transactions they are involved with. Anyone can see the balance and all transactions of any address.

I use a new address for every single transaction

I have my offline wallets (half-a dozen of them) for more than 1.5 years now. I see no need to change them, as they have been never exposed online. However, I change my online wallets once every three months or so.

Got one for cold storage of almost all of my BTC. It's a few months old. There are other addresses for smaller amounts that are older and some are newer.

I started with bitcoin about eight months ago. I still use the same and only btc address. Is it better to change addresses or doesn't it mather?

As long as you don't expose your private key, you're perfectly safe.

[chanz]

Using the same one from 6 months now, maybe it's time to change it now.

My main paper wallet is 8 months old and all my other wallets mostly under 1 month.
