How many addresses do you think the average bitcoin user has?

[noma]

There wouldn't be like a proper estimate. I have had to create new wallets in the past, simply because, I use 2 laptops, and don't access them at the same time.
Importing the private key would be a good option, but one is windows , and I just like keeping a smaller amount there.

with HD wallet, you have 1 adress for every transaction ... so count is irrelevant, now 

[medUSA]

I have keys for about 10-15 addresses, some of them are in use, some are empty. If you count those which are associated with me like deposit addresses on gambling sites, exchanges and so on... I might have over 50.

Bitcoin businesses are the heavy users of addresses. They must go through thousands of addresses each year

I'm using just 1 for receiving payment or donations

But for other puspose,i think its 10

so you have ten or you have 1?

[botany]

For people who use electrum, new addresses are generated every time an address is used.
You start off with at least 8 addresses. I guess I would have twice that now.

Well with HD wallet, practically I make sure every transaction ends up with different address. Mainly that is for privacy purpose. If the number of addresses are completely exhausted, I'll create another new wallet with a new seed. That is main reason why I don't go for vanity address.

I've used a lot in the past.  Right now I only have a few I use regularly though.

11

1 for receiving total payment and the other 10 for faucets,etc.

I think the average user has many btc addresses because he is afraid of being hacked an stolen.

well i have a lot of addresses but they are on the same blokckchain.info account so i guess if someone hacks it my all accs will be stolen

[Kipsy89]

I guess there are a lot of people who only have 1 single address they do everything with! I know this defeats the purpose of BTC, since everyone now can trace you and you also get confused with all the transactions over time, I think...

[Guido]

I would guess on average 5

[keithers]

Trezors also generate new addresses for each received transaction...

[sgk]

as the title states, whats the average number of wallet addresses per bitcoin user? With the ability to trace transactions and link people together based on publically posted keys, I know many people (including myself) have generated unique addresses for nearly all transactions just to be safe. My guess is somewhere around 40-50 addresses at this point in time.. what are your guy's thoughts?

Not counting the addresses on the trading exchanges, I have about 20 addresses.

They are not all being used right now, because I switch to new addresses every now and then (but I do keep backup of all old addresses I've used). I may create 10 new addresses every month.

[leex1528]

I don't even know how many addresses I have, it is a ton though.  Everytime I do a transaction pretty much I get a new Address so they can pile up quick after 1 full year(almost) of using Bitcoin!

[bitcoinmaniac52]

i have atleast 15 and some are for official purposes and some are just for playing around with

[leex1528]

Why do addresses constantly get created anyway?  Basically everytime I make a transaction they get created!

[btc-facebook]

I just have less than 4 address.

Used them for sig campaign, faucet earnings, and investment earning

Try to make it different , just to easy to manage them. Avoid confusing

[GigaBit]

As an average user, I would say maybe 2-3 receive but a lot more send addresses.

I'm currently switching to a new computer and had about 35 receive addresses but I am a miner.

Now down to about 5...
