Request: New address for every incoming payment #19

For privacy reasons it makes sense to use a new address for every incoming 
payment. The address on the main screen should just be the most recent (unused) 
address, but the balance should be the sum over all the addresses.

Payments should be made by picking a selection of addresses which add up to 
only very slightly more than the transaction amount, pooling them into a new 
address, then sending from that address.

It doesn't make sense to implement this before transaction fees, otherwise 
already-slow transactions could take a very long time.

Or maybe just make every newly generated address the standard address for 
incoming payments. Having to change it by hand is a little inconvenient.

I'd also like to see this. However, deterministic wallets need to arrive first. 
Otherwise, you'd need to refresh your backups regularly.

You guys might want to know there is an alpha version to test HD wallets. 
You'll get fresh addresses for each payment. Please help testing!

I'm marking this one as fixed.
